Add new line (\n) in Text Response from API.ai

While using a Node.js module (apiai), I tried to add new lines (\n) in API.ai text response given a query result but it doesn't seem to work when I save the response in a variable from the callback like this:

request.on('response', function (response) {
  var textResponse = response.result.fulfillment.speech;
  // ...
})
Solution

  • Finally I solved it like this:

    var textResponse = response.result.fulfillment.speech;
textResponse = textResponse.replace(/\\n/g, '\n');

    The input was like: I'm a chatbot. \n built with ❤
