To keep it consistent, the view files, both speech.ssml.erb and display.text.erb can be renamed to default.ssml.erb and default.text.erb

it should be able to work with database adapter from the project that it is included it.

Request locale gives the language and country code. At the moment, Alexa::Context doesn't provide an interface to determine those individually. It woudl be nice to have the method #country_code and #language_code.

Refer documentation at https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/request-and-response-json-reference.html#request-locale

Delegate and all other kind of Responses are to be sharing common implementation through a base class.

• Change the gem name to alexa-rails from alexa.
• Add default intent handler classes: Cancel, Stop, Help etc..
• Update documentation.

Right now, by returning response in an intent handler renders the default speech.ssml.erb and display.text.erb. These files need to handle all the different conditions if the response needs to be different for different conditions. This will pollute the view file with some if clauses and sharing variables from intent. For example. Consider the following:

# Intent handler class
class Alexa::IntentHandlers::SaveBookmark < Alexa::IntentHandlers::Base
  attr_accessor :success
  def handle
     if some_condition
       @sucess = true
     else
       @success = false
     end
     return response
  end
end

# View - intent_handlers/save_bookmarks/speech.ssml.erb
<% if intent.success %>
   <s> You request is successfully processed. </s>
<% else %>
  <s>Unable to process your request.</s>
<% end %>

It would be nice if a the response method on intent handlers can accept the response filename argument so that there can be multiple view files for conditions.

In above example.

# Intent handler
def handle
     if some_condition
       @sucess = true
       return response(view_file: :success)
     else
       @success = false
       return response(view_file: :failure)
     end
  end

# View - intent_handlers/save_bookmarks/success.ssml.erb
   <s> You request is successfully processed. </s>
# View - intent_handlers/save_bookmarks/success.text.erb
   Succesfull. 

# View - intent_handlers/save_bookmarks/failure.ssml.erb
   <s> You request couldn't be processed. </s>
# View - intent_handlers/save_bookmarks/failure.text.erb
   Failed. Sorry!

Howdy! I've been updating this library to get it functional with the latest API's in our fork. If you're still maintaining or using this library, I'd be happy to split them up into PR's and send them back your way.

Thanks!
