Interacting with the bot
A conversation between a bot and a user often involves asking (prompting) the user for information, parsing the user's response, and then acting on that information. This sample demonstrates how to prompt users for information using the different prompt types included in the botbuilder-dialogs library and supported by the SDK.
The botbuilder-dialogs library includes a variety of pre-built prompt classes, including text, number, and datetime types. This
sample demonstrates using a text prompt to collect the user's name, then using a number prompt to collect an age.
