Class Slot

    • Method Detail

      • name

        public final String name()

        The name of the slot.

        Returns:
        The name of the slot.
      • description

        public final String description()

        A description of the slot.

        Returns:
        A description of the slot.
      • slotConstraintAsString

        public final String slotConstraintAsString()

        Specifies whether the slot is required or optional.

        If the service returns an enum value that is not available in the current SDK version, slotConstraint will return SlotConstraint.UNKNOWN_TO_SDK_VERSION. The raw value returned by the service is available from slotConstraintAsString().

        Returns:
        Specifies whether the slot is required or optional.

      • slotType

        public final String slotType()

        The type of the slot, either a custom slot type that you defined or one of the built-in slot types.

        Returns:
        The type of the slot, either a custom slot type that you defined or one of the built-in slot types.
      • slotTypeVersion

        public final String slotTypeVersion()

        The version of the slot type.

        Returns:
        The version of the slot type.
      • valueElicitationPrompt

        public final Prompt valueElicitationPrompt()

        The prompt that Amazon Lex uses to elicit the slot value from the user.

        Returns:
        The prompt that Amazon Lex uses to elicit the slot value from the user.
      • priority

        public final Integer priority()

        Directs Amazon Lex the order in which to elicit this slot value from the user. For example, if the intent has two slots with priorities 1 and 2, AWS Amazon Lex first elicits a value for the slot with priority 1.

        If multiple slots share the same priority, the order in which Amazon Lex elicits values is arbitrary.

        Returns:
        Directs Amazon Lex the order in which to elicit this slot value from the user. For example, if the intent has two slots with priorities 1 and 2, AWS Amazon Lex first elicits a value for the slot with priority 1.

        If multiple slots share the same priority, the order in which Amazon Lex elicits values is arbitrary.

      • hasSampleUtterances

        public final boolean hasSampleUtterances()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the SampleUtterances property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • sampleUtterances

        public final List<String> sampleUtterances()

        If you know a specific pattern with which users might respond to an Amazon Lex request for a slot value, you can provide those utterances to improve accuracy. This is optional. In most cases, Amazon Lex is capable of understanding user utterances.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasSampleUtterances() method.

        Returns:
        If you know a specific pattern with which users might respond to an Amazon Lex request for a slot value, you can provide those utterances to improve accuracy. This is optional. In most cases, Amazon Lex is capable of understanding user utterances.
      • responseCard

        public final String responseCard()

        A set of possible responses for the slot type used by text-based clients. A user chooses an option from the response card, instead of using text to reply.

        Returns:
        A set of possible responses for the slot type used by text-based clients. A user chooses an option from the response card, instead of using text to reply.
      • obfuscationSetting

        public final ObfuscationSetting obfuscationSetting()

        Determines whether a slot is obfuscated in conversation logs and stored utterances. When you obfuscate a slot, the value is replaced by the slot name in curly braces ({}). For example, if the slot name is "full_name", obfuscated values are replaced with "{full_name}". For more information, see Slot Obfuscation .

        If the service returns an enum value that is not available in the current SDK version, obfuscationSetting will return ObfuscationSetting.UNKNOWN_TO_SDK_VERSION. The raw value returned by the service is available from obfuscationSettingAsString().

        Returns:
        Determines whether a slot is obfuscated in conversation logs and stored utterances. When you obfuscate a slot, the value is replaced by the slot name in curly braces ({}). For example, if the slot name is "full_name", obfuscated values are replaced with "{full_name}". For more information, see Slot Obfuscation .

      • defaultValueSpec

        public final SlotDefaultValueSpec defaultValueSpec()

        A list of default values for the slot. Default values are used when Amazon Lex hasn't determined a value for a slot. You can specify default values from context variables, session attributes, and defined values.

        Returns:
        A list of default values for the slot. Default values are used when Amazon Lex hasn't determined a value for a slot. You can specify default values from context variables, session attributes, and defined values.
