Usage instructions / supported features

[tmbo]

We'd love to use the project for our conversational AI framework https://github.com/rasaHQ/rasa_nlu, but at the moment there

• are no usage instructions
• is no documentation about the supported features.
• isn't any information about supported platforms (windows, osx, linux?)

Thanks for the work you've put into the wrapper :+1:

Thanks for your interest. I am afraid, but I will not be able to add a lot to this stub in the next time - at least I cannot promise. Quickly addressing your points:

• I added an example how to use (within docker)
• Supported features are very limited. Language should all work by passing "EN", "DE", "FR", and alike to parse_time; parsing other dimensions than just time requires to adjust the code in DucklingFFI.hs (you can look at the Duckling.Debug.parse function as a guideline) and the upstream definitions:
  • swig spec in pyduckling.i to add a new parameter to the parse function (the dimension you are asking for)
  • same in DucklingFFI_stub.h and pyduckling_stub.h header files
• Supported platforms: I only use this within docker. I wouldn't know for Windows, but I doubt that there would be issues using it in any *nix style system.
