FixingQuickReplies.js

// This script is used to look at quick replies within the PLH app
// As part of the App Build process, we sometime need to convert quick replies to text inputs
// In this instance we need to reformat the quick replies so that there are no duplicate words between them
// This script takes in a JSON file exported from RapidPro, extracts the quickreplies, then creates a new set of quick replies with no duplicate words

// Include fs module used to import a JSON file
const { debug } = require('console');
var fs = require('fs');
   
// Calling the readFileSync() method to read json file
var json_string = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/em-playground.json').toString();
// Convert to javascript object to work with
var object = JSON.parse(json_string);
        
// Drill down to find the quick replies
