Rogo Speaker Application Kits for Python

Flask-Rak is a Flask extension that makes building Rogo applications for the Rogo Speaker easier and much more fun.

This project is heavily inspired and based on John Wheeler's Flask-ask for the Alexa Skills Kit.

The Basics

A Flask-Rak application looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from flask import Blueprint, jsonify

api = Blueprint('api', __name__)

from flask_rak import RAK, statement, question


APP_NAME = 'weather'
weather_app = RAK(
    app_name=APP_NAME,
    app=api,
    route='/weather'
)

@weather_app.launch
def launch(data):
    '''
    data: Type _Field
    '''
    print 'launch: ', data
    return statement(APP_NAME, "helllo")
    

In the code above:

1. The Rak object is created by passing in the Flask application and a route to forward Rogo speaker requests to.
2. The intent decorator maps HelloIntent to a view function hello.
3. The intent's firstname slot is implicitly mapped to hello's firstname parameter.
