Alexa Skill - Unable to get data from Intent
0
I am trying to implement an Alexa Skill with Multi Turn method and a Node.js back end.
alexaApp.intent("findFact", {
"dialog": {
type: "delegate"
},
},
function(request, response) {
console.log("In Fact intent");
var test = this.event.request.intent.slots.testtwo.value;
// console.log(request.dialogState);
console.log("test fact : " + test);
response.say(get_fact());
}
);Iam not able to get the value within the testtwo slot.
The console displays 'Unhandled exception: Cannot read property 'request' of undefined.'
Any idea why ?
Thanks !
ANSWER IS :
var test = request.data.request.intent.slots.testtwo.value;

Why are you doingthis.event.request...when request is passed in? Shouldn't you just userequest.intent.slots.testtwo.valuedirectly?

Why are you doing
this.event.request... when request is passed in? Shouldn't you just use request.intent.slots.testtwo.value directly?– Jerry Jeremiah
