Step 1: Publish the Slot Type (AWS CLI) - Amazon Lex V1
Next Step

If you are using Amazon Lex V2, refer to the Amazon Lex V2 guide instead.

 

If you are using Amazon Lex V1, we recommend upgrading your bots to Amazon Lex V2. We are no longer adding new features to V1 and strongly recommend using V2 for all new bots.

Step 1: Publish the Slot Type (AWS CLI)

Before you can publish a version of any intents that use a slot type, you must publish a version of that slot type. In this case, you publish the FlowerTypes slot type.

Note

The following AWS CLI example is formatted for Unix, Linux, and macOS. For Windows, change "\$LATEST" to $LATEST and replace the backslash (\) continuation character at the end of each line with a caret (^).

To publish a slot type (AWS CLI)

  1. In the AWS CLI, get the latest version of the slot type:

    aws lex-models get-slot-type \
    --region region \
    --name FlowerTypes \
    --slot-type-version "\$LATEST"

    The response from Amazon Lex follows. Record the checksum for the current revision of the $LATEST version.

    {
    "enumerationValues": [
        {
            "value": "tulips"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "lilies"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "roses"
        }
    ], 
    "name": "FlowerTypes", 
    "checksum": "checksum", 
    "version": "$LATEST", 
    "lastUpdatedDate": timestamp, 
    "createdDate": timestamp, 
    "description": "Types of flowers to pick up"
}

  2. Publish a version of the slot type. Use the checksum that you recorded in the previous step.

    aws lex-models create-slot-type-version \
    --region region \
    --name FlowerTypes \
    --checksum "checksum"

    The response from Amazon Lex follows. Record the version number for the next step.

    {
    "version": "1", 
    "enumerationValues": [
        {
            "value": "tulips"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "lilies"
        }, 
        {
            "value": "roses"
        }
    ], 
    "name": "FlowerTypes", 
    "createdDate": timestamp, 
    "lastUpdatedDate": timestamp, 
    "description": "Types of flowers to pick up"
}
