How to use

function

in

Value

handle(handlerInput) {
    const {attributesManager, requestEnvelope} = handlerInput;
    // the attributes manager allows us to access session attributes
    const sessionAttributes = attributesManager.getSessionAttributes();
    const {intent} = requestEnvelope.request;

    if (intent.confirmationStatus === 'CONFIRMED') {
      const day = Alexa.getSlotValue(requestEnvelope, 'day');
      const year = Alexa.getSlotValue(requestEnvelope, 'year');
      // we get the slot instead of the value directly as we also want to fetch the id
      const monthSlot = Alexa.getSlot(requestEnvelope, 'month');
      const monthName = monthSlot.value;
      const month = monthSlot.resolutions.resolutionsPerAuthority[0].values[0].value.id; //MM

      sessionAttributes['day'] = day;
      sessionAttributes['month'] = month; //MM
      sessionAttributes['monthName'] = monthName;
      sessionAttributes['year'] = year;
      // we can't use intent chaining because the target intent is not dialog based
      return SayBirthdayIntentHandler.handle(handlerInput);
    }

    return handlerInput.responseBuilder
      .speak(handlerInput.t('REJECTED_MSG'))
      .reprompt(handlerInput.t('REPROMPT_MSG'))
      .getResponse();
  }
