Class ContentAct

Base type for System Acts that provides 'content' or 'simple information'.

An act is 'content' if it does not directly encourage the user to reply.

Examples:

  • ApologyAct is-a ContentAct. Sample prompt: "A: Sorry, my mistake." (simple information, no encouragement to continue)
  • WeatherAct is-a ContentAct. Sample prompt: "A: The weather will be warm." (business content, no encouragement to continue)

Framework behavior:

  • The framework requires that every turn includes exactly one InitiativeAct except for terminal turns that stop the user's session by setting ControlResult.sessionBehavior.

Methods

Abstract render

  • Render the dialog act.

    This is the one-size-fits-all direct rendering of a dialog act. This is often appropriate for custom acts that are not used by a shared control.

    Framework behavior:

    • Shared controls cannot rely on a one-size-fits-all rendering and so they provide their own appropriate defaults and props that allow the developer to override the defaults.

    Parameters

    Returns void

toString

  • toString(): string

  • Produces a string representation of the SystemAct.

    The associated Control.id is included but the complete details of the associate Control are omitted for brevity.

    Returns string
