Udder

Udder is a tool for generating boilerplate for Amazon Echo apps. Right now,
it supports generating utterances from a slightly extended template format
based on the original Amazon format.

Eventually I'd like to support generating intents/lambda functions as well.

Usage

``
$ npm install -g udder
`

Right udder supports generating utterances. More features to follow!

Here is an example utterances.txt file:

`
SetVolume turn it {up,down|Direction}
SetVolume turn {up,down|Direction}
SetVolume turn it {up,down|Direction} a lot
SetVolume turn it {up,down|Direction} a bunch
SetInput switch to {H. D. M. I.|Input} {1…5|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {1…6|Number}
SetInput switch to {U. S. B.|Input}
SetInput switch to {Audio|Input} {1…2|Number}
SetInput switch to {Tuner|Input}
SetInput switch to {Video Aux|Input}
SetPowerState turn {on|State}
SetPowerState turn {off|State}
SetPowerState power {on|State}
SetPowerState power {off|State}
`

Note the numeric ranges denoted by ellipses (…). These templates will
generate one line per number inclusively within the range.

Make sure you use an actual ellipsis character and not three periods.

Mac: ⌥;
Linux: Compose + ...

Let's run the generator on it:

`
$ udder utterances path/to/utterances.txt
`

Here's what the output will be:

`
SetVolume turn it {up|Direction}
SetVolume turn it {down|Direction}
SetVolume turn {up|Direction}
SetVolume turn {down|Direction}
SetVolume turn it {up|Direction} a lot
SetVolume turn it {down|Direction} a lot
SetVolume turn it {up|Direction} a bunch
SetVolume turn it {down|Direction} a bunch
SetInput switch to {H. D. M. I.|Input} {one|Number}
SetInput switch to {H. D. M. I.|Input} {two|Number}
SetInput switch to {H. D. M. I.|Input} {three|Number}
SetInput switch to {H. D. M. I.|Input} {four|Number}
SetInput switch to {H. D. M. I.|Input} {five|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {one|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {two|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {three|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {four|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {five|Number}
SetInput switch to {A. V.|Input} {six|Number}
SetInput switch to {U. S. B.|Input}
SetInput switch to {Audio|Input} {one|Number}
SetInput switch to {Audio|Input} {two|Number}
SetInput switch to {Tuner|Input}
SetInput switch to {Video Aux|Input}
SetPowerState turn {on|State}
SetPowerState turn {off|State}
SetPowerState power {on|State}
SetPowerState power {off|State}

You can pipe this to a file in your build process.
