Description: # Falcon-Ask [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pvsune/falcon_ask.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/pvsune/falcon_ask)
        Minimal Python3 toolkit to create Amazon Alexa skills with [Falcon](https://falconframework.org/).
        
        Builds on top of [Alexa Skills Kit (ASK)](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/ask-overviews/build-skills-with-the-alexa-skills-kit.html) to bootstrap boilerplate code so you don't have to!
        
        Inspired by [Flask-Ask](https://github.com/johnwheeler/flask-ask) and [Alexandra](https://github.com/erik/alexandra).
        
        # Synopsis
        A Falcon app might look like this.
        ```python
        import json
        
        import falcon
        from falcon_ask import dispatch_request, FalconAskMiddleware, respond
        
        
        def intent_fn(body):
            # "body" contains request POST data.
            return 'Congratulations! Your new alexa skill works great.'
        
        
        class AlexaResource(object):
            # Dictionary mapping of "IntentRequest" to function.
            intent_maps = {
                'GreetingIntent': intent_fn,
            }
        
            # Message to return when "LaunchRequest" is received.
            welcome = 'Hi, welcome to your new alexa skill.'
        
            def on_post(self, req, resp):
                response = dispatch_request(req)
                resp.body = json.dumps(respond(response, end_session=False))
        
        
        app = falcon.API(middleware=[
            # Do validation of request certificate and timestamp.
            FalconAskMiddleware(AlexaResource, validate=True),
        ])
        app.add_route('/', AlexaResource())
        ```
        Save above code to `alexa.py` and run via `$ gunicorn alexa:app`. Make sure [gunicorn](http://gunicorn.org/) is installed.
