Build a Chatbot with Facebook’s Messenger Platform

Summary


In this chapter, we started by exploring ways of adding user accounts to our app. We did this by building a simple test application using the pre-made accounts UI and functions available in Meteor. We then moved on to developing own accounts workflow with our stack React, Redux, and the react-router. On the component side, we saw how we can completely customize the look of the map by adding forms in the created custom markers. 

In the next chapter, we will build a Chatbot app using the Facebook Messenger platform, using the Wit.ai API.
