LUIS

LUIS

The LUIS APIs tool allows communication with the LUIS endpoints via command line. You can also use this as a node module via an import.

Any endpoint listed in the documentation for the LUIS Programmatic APIs v2.0 is available using the CLI.

Language Understanding (LUIS.ai) allows your application to understand what a person wants in their own words. LUIS uses machine learning to allow developers to build applications that can receive user input in natural language and extract meaning from it.

Installation

Make sure you have Node.js >=8.5 and npm installed on your machine, then use:

npm install -g luis-apis

Configuration

A configuration object is required to provide the endpoint base path, app ID, version ID and the authoring key to each outbound call. There are 3 ways to provide this information to the CLI:

1. As a .luisrc file in the cwd. The json format for the .luisrc file is:

{
  "appId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "authoringKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "versionId": "x.x.xx",
  "region": "xxxxxxx"
}

The CLI has a utility command that walks through the creation of this file: luis init, or it can be created manually.

2. As arguments to the CLI: luis <verb> <resource> --appId <string> --versionId <string> --authoringKey <string> --region <string>

3. As environment variables: LUIS_APP_ID, LUIS_VERSION_ID, LUIS_AUTHORING_KEY, LUIS_REGION

You need a LUIS account to get an authoring key. Refer to Keys in LUIS for more information. If you have already built a LUIS application and would like to work on it using the LUIS CLI, you can determine the appId, versionId by following instructions in this Readme. See Publishing regions for help with authoring regions.

The CLI will first look for these named configuration variables in the arguments list, then inside the .luisrc file, then fallback to the environment variables.

Securing Your Access Key

To better secure your access key, it's recommended to omit the key from the .luisrc file and instead pass it in with the --authoringKey argument or store it as the LUIS_AUTHORING_KEY environment variable. If security is not a concern for your particular case, all configuration items can be stored in the .luisrc for convenience.

Overriding Configurations

Since configuration items can be passed as arguments to the cli, using arguments to specify the configuration will override the .luisrc and any environment variables that may have been specified.

Nightly builds

Nightly builds are based on the latest development code which means they may or may not be stable and probably won't be documented. These builds are better suited for more experienced users and developers although everyone is welcome to give them a shot and provide feedback.

You can get the latest nightly build of LUIS from the BotBuilder MyGet feed. To install the nightly -

npm config set registry https://botbuilder.myget.org/F/botbuilder-tools-daily/npm/

Install using npm:

npm i -g luis-apis

To reset registry:

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
