#Bot Chat Command

If you already using Laravel you might be familiar with the artisan make commands.

OpenOverlay uses the same command and structure to create a base Command.

#Write A Bot Command

#Create the bot command

You can simply create a command with our make command, that based on Laravel make commands. This command will create a new Class in the App\Bot\Commands namespace with the \Redbeed\OpenOverlay\ChatBot\Commands\BotCommand as a parent.

sail artisan make:bot-command HelloWorldCommand

HelloWorld can be replaced by your wanted Class name

#Enable the bot command

You need the Command to your config/openoverlay.php config file to enable it.

return [
    'bot' => [
        'commands' => [
            'advanced' => [
                ...
                App\Bot\Commands\HelloWorldCommand::class,
            ]

#Restart your container

After you added or changed your Bot Command you always have to restart the Bot Container.

sail restart laravel.chatbot
