Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Let's create a sendResponse function that will respond with a simple response."

A block of code is set as follows:

var request, response;
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = firebase.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
 request = req;
 response = res; 
 console.log('Fortune Cookie Request headers: ' + JSON.stringify(request.headers));
 console.log('Fortune Cookie Request body: ' + JSON.stringify(request.body));
 if (request.body.queryResult) {
 processV2Request();
 } else {
 console.log('Invalid Request');
 return response.status(400).end('Invalid Webhook Request');
 }
});

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

var request, response, parameters;

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Click Add follow-up intent and select custom intent."
