ES6 Skeleton for Alexa Skills

#Alexa Skill ES6 Skeleton

This is a starter package to create alexa skills using ES6 and pre-transpiling with babel.

##To Use

1. Clone This repo.
2. Run npm install.
3. Run gulp build. This will create a file called package.zip in the root of your project.
4. Upload package.zip to your Lambda.
5. Edit action files as needed to make it your own.

##Files

###index.js This is the base file that is loaded when the Lambda first loads. This file determines the Request type and routes accordingly.

###action-launch-request.js Ths page handles the LaunchRequest which is generally a base welcome and a prompt for more info from the user to help define the intent.

###action-intent-request.js When an intent is determined, this page is loaded and handles the intent.

###action-session-end-request.js Responsible for clearing the session and cleaning up.

###response-model.js Provides a model for a standard request. This is a good place to insert default values.

###utilities.js Provides global functions for the application.

###api-client.js Helpful if this app needs to make a call to a rest API, which the skeleton example does.
