Do you have some interesting facts about a hobby or passion to share? Do you have a set of LOL jokes to share? The facts sample capsule is the perfect place to share that content by building a Bixby capsule.

Lots of the basic building blocks of a Bixby capsule are highlighted; This is a great capsule to start learning how to develop for Bixby.

You can easily customize this capsule with your own content without any development! Just use the spreadsheet in the contentUtility folder and cut and paste from there into the content.js file, update the capsule.id and training as necessary and you have made this capsule your own!

You can also retrieve data from an API. Included is an example of a simple API call to get dad jokes. See the getRemoteContent.js file

• Download and install the Bixby Studio IDE from the Bixby Developer Center
• Download this capsule (zip is the easiest way) from Github. Unzip in your directory of choice
• Open the Capsule in Bixby Studio
• Open the simulator and give it a try!

Ask about facts. Try these:

Tell me a fact (Bixby says a random fact)

Tell me a fact about dogs (Bixby says a fact about dogs)

Or ask about jokes. Try these:

Tell me a joke (Bixby says a random joke (fact)

Tell me a cat joke (Bixby says a random joke (fact) about cats)

Or ask about dad jokes (uses an API call). Try this:

Tell me a dad joke (Bixby says a random dad joke (fact) using a remote API call)

• Put your own content (facts and associated tags and images) into code/content.js - You may also use the spreadsheet located in contentUtility/CreateContent.xslx to create content
• Use an API for your facts/jokes. You need to modify code/lib/getRemoteContent.js and code/content.js
• If you want to use images in your content you can either use a web URL or you can save your image under assets/images and refer to them with a relative path, e.g. images/cow.png (you might have to wait a little until the IDE uploads images to the cloud)
• Change the capsule id to reflect your organization and your content. The capsule id is defined in the capsule.bxb file
• You can customize the NoResult dialog (resources/base/dialog/Content_NoResult.dialog.bxb)
• Add more training / change the training
• Have fun!
