JS Global variable not recognized
1
I set my variable as a global variable so google will be able to read the name the user enter in actions on google. in "agent.add", I added in what I want google to read out.
However, It just keeps reading as your name is [object Oject] instead of the given name. This is my code in my index.js.
var myName = {};
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest((request, response) => {
const agent = new WebhookClient({ request, response });
function naming(agent){
myName = agent.parameters.givenName;
agent.add(`your name is ${myName}`);
}

No, you need to open up yourDevTools(Press F12 to open up) in your chrome and navigate to console and post what you see there.

It prints[Object Object], this means it's accessible, Have you tried to stringify it? Try to useagent.add(your name is ${JSON.stringify(myName)});.

You probably shouldn't make that a global variable, particularly since you're just using it locally.
Something like this should work:
function naming(agent){
let myName = agent.parameters.givenName;
agent.add(`your name is ${myName}`);
}
