Compress Multiple Messages

[gavbarnett]

When the bot response with multiple replies in a short time without human input the interface should gracefully merge these messages, with line returns, into one speech bubble.

Similar to what the Facebook messenger app does.

i.e. sudo code:

//On new msg arriving:
if (msg_type = "from_bot"){
   if (last_msg_type = "from_bot"){
      merge_with_previous_speech_bubble(msg);
   }else{
      new speech_bubble(msg);
   }
}
last_msg_type = msg_type;

Hi All,

Gavin, i'll look into that over the weekend. The reason i didn't do that was because of the way the code is structured. But i should get that sorted this weekend hopefully.

Thanks Adam. We should be looking to create a collection to handle all possible questions so the questions come from there istead of hard coding.

Thanks.

Kind Regards, MALICK Farouk.
