Chatterbot: How to use the session manager

[GRA0007]

I have a simple chatterbot set up where multiple users can chat at once and I'm not really sure how to implement the session manager to "sessionalize" the conversations.

This is my code:

from chatterbot import ChatBot

user_id = [USER_ID]

chatbot = ChatBot(
    "Chatbot",
    storage_adapter='chatterbot.storage.JsonFileStorageAdapter',
    input_adapter='chatterbot.input.VariableInputTypeAdapter',
    output_adapter='chatterbot.output.OutputAdapter',
    database='./database.json'
)

response = chatbot.get_response([INPUT])
print(response)

Don't worry about how I'm getting the USER_ID or the INPUT, I just need to implement sessions for the bot and the docs page is rather confusing. Thanks.

Note: the USER_ID is a unique string.

Hi @GRA0007, I don't have a perfect example of this to provide at the moment. I've added a task to my to-do list for adding an example to the project documentation.

Right now there _is_ a working example of conversation session management in the Django extension module. You can take a look at that and it might provide some insight on how to set this up.

The important part of this is the session id that is getting passed into the get_response method.
