Microsoft Bot SDK testing with local application

I started working with Microsoft Bot Framework recently. As a first step I created Echo example and tested with Emulator. This was easy.

Now I want to test same Echo example with my website. Have a chat window on website and send messages to get replies.

Can someone point me to the correct direction? Most of the things I found are for Azure, WeChat etc. All I want to do is run my Bot locally and test echo functionality. Thanks

You can enable your own client application to communicate with your bot by using the Direct Line channel.

You want to use the BotFramework-WebChat library. It is a full featured solution that allows integrating you BotFramework bot into a web app, including passing data (bi-directional) between the app and the bot.

Setting up is SDK agnostic if you’re looking for simple integration. So it won’t matter whether you are using C#, Node, etc.

Hope of help!
