Grateful journaling Dialogflow bot built using Narratory

Allows you to add things you are grateful for (allowing elaboration) and then recall them at a later time ("cheer me up"). Using a backend built on Firebase Functions (wrapped in the narratory-cloud npm package) with a Firebase Firestore DB.

The bot is built using Narratory and is using Google Auth account linking on Google Actions/Google Assistant. For other clients, a hardcoded email is taken from narratory_config.json.

Setting up the bot

1. Install Narratory with npm install -g narratory
2. Clone this repository.
3. Install dependencies with npm install or yarn
4. Set up credentials (see Narratory docs on setup)
5. Create your agent and start an interactive chat-prompt in the terminal with narratory start

Note, you need the backend to save and retrieve your grateful entires

Setting up the backend

1. Install firebase CLI with npm i -g firebase-tools
2. Set up firebase with your Google project with firebase use --add <your-google-project-name>
3. Make sure the service account you created for Narratory (and with credentials you put in google_credentials.json) has the Firebase Develop Admin role in the Google Cloud IAM console
4. Create a Firebase Firestore Database for your Google project at Firebase console
5. Deploy the cloud functions with firebase deploy
6. Add your public URL (excluding the function name, for example https://europe-west1-grateful-bnihxr.cloudfunctions.net) to the config.json file

Running backend locally

1. Run npm run dev to emulate your cloud functions locally
2. Download and install ngrok and then run it in your app folder with npm run ngrok or npm run ngrok:subdomain if you have a dedicated subdomain (recommended since otherwise the URL will change for every run).
3. Add your ngrok url to the config.json file and change local to true in the same file
4. Run narratory build on your bot to update it to connect to your local backend
