# Azure.ResourceManager.BotService (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Bot Service resources via Azure Resource Manager.

## Installation

```bash
dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.BotService
dotnet add package Azure.Identity
```

**Current Versions**: Stable v1.1.1, Preview v1.1.0-beta.1

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
```

## Authentication

```csharp
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService;

// Authenticate using DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription and resource group
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().GetAsync("myResourceGroup");

// Access bot collection
BotCollection botCollection = resourceGroup.GetBots();
```

## Resource Hierarchy

```
ArmClient
└── SubscriptionResource
    └── ResourceGroupResource
        └── BotResource
            ├── BotChannelResource (DirectLine, Teams, Slack, etc.)
            ├── BotConnectionSettingResource (OAuth connections)
            └── BotServicePrivateEndpointConnectionResource
```

## Core Workflows

### 1. Create Bot Resource

```csharp
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService;
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService.Models;

// Create bot data
var botData = new BotData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
    Kind = BotServiceKind.Azurebot,
    Sku = new BotServiceSku(BotServiceSkuName.F0),
    Properties = new BotProperties(
        displayName: "MyBot",
        endpoint: new Uri("https://mybot.azurewebsites.net/api/messages"),
        msaAppId: "<your-msa-app-id>")
    {
        Description = "My Azure Bot",
        MsaAppType = BotMsaAppType.MultiTenant
    }
};

// Create or update the bot
ArmOperation<BotResource> operation = await botCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed, 
    "myBotName", 
    botData);
    
BotResource bot = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Bot created: {bot.Data.Name}");
```

### 2. Configure DirectLine Channel

```csharp
// Get the bot
BotResource bot = await resourceGroup.GetBots().GetAsync("myBotName");

// Get channel collection
BotChannelCollection channels = bot.GetBotChannels();

// Create DirectLine channel configuration
var channelData = new BotChannelData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
    Properties = new DirectLineChannel()
    {
        Properties = new DirectLineChannelProperties()
        {
            Sites = 
            {
                new DirectLineSite("Default Site")
                {
                    IsEnabled = true,
                    IsV1Enabled = false,
                    IsV3Enabled = true,
                    IsSecureSiteEnabled = true
                }
            }
        }
    }
};

// Create or update the channel
ArmOperation<BotChannelResource> channelOp = await channels.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    BotChannelName.DirectLineChannel,
    channelData);

Console.WriteLine("DirectLine channel configured");
```

### 3. Configure Microsoft Teams Channel

```csharp
var teamsChannelData = new BotChannelData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
    Properties = new MsTeamsChannel()
    {
        Properties = new MsTeamsChannelProperties()
        {
            IsEnabled = true,
            EnableCalling = false
        }
    }
};

await channels.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    BotChannelName.MsTeamsChannel,
    teamsChannelData);
```

### 4. Configure Web Chat Channel

```csharp
var webChatChannelData = new BotChannelData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
    Properties = new WebChatChannel()
    {
        Properties = new WebChatChannelProperties()
        {
            Sites =
            {
                new WebChatSite("Default Site")
                {
                    IsEnabled = true
                }
            }
        }
    }
};

await channels.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    BotChannelName.WebChatChannel,
    webChatChannelData);
```

### 5. Get Bot and List Channels

```csharp
// Get bot
BotResource bot = await botCollection.GetAsync("myBotName");
Console.WriteLine($"Bot: {bot.Data.Properties.DisplayName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Endpoint: {bot.Data.Properties.Endpoint}");

// List channels
await foreach (BotChannelResource channel in bot.GetBotChannels().GetAllAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Channel: {channel.Data.Name}");
}
```

### 6. Regenerate DirectLine Keys

```csharp
var regenerateRequest = new BotChannelRegenerateKeysContent(BotChannelName.DirectLineChannel)
{
    SiteName = "Default Site"
};

BotChannelResource channelWithKeys = await bot.GetBotChannelWithRegenerateKeysAsync(regenerateRequest);
```

### 7. Update Bot

```csharp
BotResource bot = await bot
