Missing array braces on button assignment in card creation line 130 about dialogflow-conversation-components-nodejs HOT 4 CLOSED

Are you referring to the Dialogflow function? Did you run into a syntax error when trying to run it?

The code uses the wrapper for BasicCard

The buttons property accepts both an array and a single Button for ease of use (because right now only one button is allowed).

Yes, I'm referring to the Dialogflow function.

I am setting the buttons property after having already instantiated the BasicCard rather than using it within the "new" function.

E.g.

let basicCard = new BasicCard({
    text: cardText
});

basicCard.buttons = [new Button({
    title: linkText,
    url: linkUrl
})];

Without the square brackets I was getting a malformed response error on sending back the response.

Yeah, the wrappers are intended to be created just from the constructor.

If you assign to it manually, you will bypass the abstractions and just directly manipulate the raw GoogleActionsV2UiElementsBasicCard API which can only have buttons as an array.

You'll have to assign it with an array like you mentioned.

But this isn't really an issue with the sample as the samples don't manipulate the raw API directly and just use the wrappers with the constructor so it's valid.

  conv.ask(new BasicCard({
    text: `This is a basic card.  Text in a basic card can include "quotes" and
    most other unicode characters including emoji 📱.  Basic cards also support
    some markdown formatting like *emphasis* or _italics_, **strong** or
    __bold__, and ***bold itallic*** or ___strong emphasis___ as well as other
    things like line  \nbreaks`, // Note the two spaces before '\n' required for
                                 // a line break to be rendered in the card.
    subtitle: 'This is a subtitle',
    title: 'Title: this is a title',
    buttons: new Button({
      title: 'This is a button',
      url: 'https://assistant.google.com/',
    }),
    image: new Image({
      url: IMG_URL_AOG,
      alt: 'Image alternate text',
    }),
  }));
