const alexa = new BroidAlexa({
http: {
port: 8080,

}
});

alexa.connect()
.subscribe({

Alexa can also be used with your existing express setup

const express = require("express");

const alexa = new BroidAlexa();

const app = express();
app.use("/alexa", alexa.getRouter());

alexa.connect()
.subscribe({
next: data => console.log(data),
error: err => console.error(Something went wrong: ${err.message}),
complete: () => console.log('complete'),
});

app.listen(8080);
`

const formatted_message = {
"@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"type": "Create",
"generator": {
"id": "f6e92eb6-f69e-4eae-8158-06613461cf3a",
"type": "Service",
"name": "alexa"
},
"object": {
"type": "Note",
"content": "What's the weather like today?"
},
"to": {
"id": "15146345659",
"type": "Person"
}
}

alexa.send(formatted_message)
.then(() => console.log("ok"))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
``
