Eventline is a predictable event routing framework for building chatbots or event based applications.

It allows developers to build systems that respond to a stream of events in a consistent manner and are easy to test as well as understand.

You can use Eventline either on its own with custom event sources or with other frameworks, such as Botpress or Botkit.

Motivation

Chatbots are inherently very asynchronous, state and event based applications.

To get an idea of some of our motivation behind Eventline, you should read the Redux documentation here. As mentioned there, our code has to manage more of this than ever before.

We tried to bring some of this thinking to the chatbot developer space, making it easier to route events to a series of actions in a declarative fashion.

Let us know what you think

Eventline started as an experiment between Bottr and Sure. We’re curious to hear what you think of it and where we can take it next.
