Getting value inside of variable in Node.js

I have two speeches to select from for outputting in Alexa SDK e.g

const HI = 'Hi Trump';
const HELLO = 'Hello Trump';

I store the variable name in an array:

const speech = [HI, HELLO];

I process and get the index number of the speech I want to output. Now the problem is how to output the speech - 'Hello' in the following line of codes:

return handlerInput.responseBuilder
   .speak($speech[1]);
},
Solution

  • You can output the array index as speech response by using template strings. Try the following:

    return handlerInput.responseBuilder
   .speak(`${speech[1]}`);
},
