Nodejs-dialogflow: Using on Client side (with Webpack)

[Knowledge91]

How can I use Dialogflow V2 from my client, with Webpack?

@Knowledge91 Did you already figure this one out? If so, could you please share some links to more details? :)

I outsourced Dialogflow V2 to a serverless lambda function, which is reachable over an API.

I launched a Serverless AWS Lambda, which I use to make calls to Dialogflow. The Lambda can then be called over AWS API-Gateway and communicate to the client.

Do you happen to know if there's a version of dialogflow-javascript-client for v2? https://github.com/dialogflow/dialogflow-javascript-client

@Knowledge91 ,

You might have some luck with the implementation in googleapis as they use axios which is client side and are REST only, try this code below:

````
'use strict';

const {google} = require('googleapis');
const path = require('path');

async function runSample () {

const client = await google.auth.getClient({
keyFile: path.join(__dirname, 'key.json'),
scopes: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'
});

const dialogflow = google.dialogflow({
version: 'v2',
auth: client
});

const result = await dialogflow.projects.getAgent({
parent: 'projects/'
});

console.log(result.data);

}

if (module === require.main) {
runSample().catch(console.error);
}

// Exports for unit testing purposes
module.exports = { runSample };
````

I've been looking for this solution for 2 weeks...really poorly documented.

I've been trying to bundle this into Webpack, and getting a whole bunch of unresolved module errors. Agree that it's pretty poorly integrated.

I guess for now I'll stick to V1 of the API which is relatively simple to implement in comparison, but would love to hear what other way there is around this?
