  .. py:method:: can_paginate(operation_name)

        
    Check if an operation can be paginated.
    
    :type operation_name: string
    :param operation_name: The operation name.  This is the same name
        as the method name on the client.  For example, if the
        method name is ``create_foo``, and you'd normally invoke the
        operation as ``client.create_foo(**kwargs)``, if the
        ``create_foo`` operation can be paginated, you can use the
        call ``client.get_paginator("create_foo")``.
    
    :return: ``True`` if the operation can be paginated,
        ``False`` otherwise.


  .. py:method:: create_bot_version(**kwargs)

    

    Creates a new version of the bot based on the ``$LATEST`` version. If the ``$LATEST`` version of this resource hasn't changed since you created the last version, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last created version.

     

    .. note::

       

      You can update only the ``$LATEST`` version of the bot. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the ``CreateBotVersion`` operation.

       

     

    When you create the first version of a bot, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see  versioning-intro . 

     

    This operation requires permission for the ``lex:CreateBotVersion`` action.

      )
    :type name: string
    :param name: **[REQUIRED]** 

      The name of the bot that you want to create a new version of. The name is case sensitive. 

      

    
    :type checksum: string
    :param checksum: 

      Identifies a specific revision of the ``$LATEST`` version of the bot. If you specify a checksum and the ``$LATEST`` version of the bot has a different checksum, a ``PreconditionFailedException`` exception is returned and Amazon Lex doesn't publish a new version. If you don't specify a checksum, Amazon Lex publishes the ``$LATEST`` version.

  .. py:method:: create_intent_version(**kwargs)

    

    Creates a new version of an intent based on the ``$LATEST`` version of the intent. If the ``$LATEST`` version of this intent hasn't changed since you last updated it, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last version you created.

     

    .. note::

       

      You can update only the ``$LATEST`` version of the intent. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the ``CreateIntentVersion`` operation.

       

     

    When you create a version of an intent, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see  versioning-intro . 

     

    This operation requires permissions to perform the ``lex:CreateIntentVersion`` action.

  .. py:method:: create_slot_type_version(**kwargs)

    

    Creates a new version of a slot type based on the ``$LATEST`` version of the specified slot type. If the ``$LATEST`` version of this resource has not changed since the last version that you created, Amazon Lex doesn't create a new version. It returns the last version that you created. 

     

    .. note::

       

      You can update only the ``$LATEST`` version of a slot type. You can't update the numbered versions that you create with the ``CreateSlotTypeVersion`` operation.

       

     

    When you create a version of a slot type, Amazon Lex sets the version to 1. Subsequent versions increment by 1. For more information, see  versioning-intro . 

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:CreateSlotTypeVersion`` action.

      - *(dict) --* 
        

        - **name** *(string) --* 

          The name of the slot type.

          
        

        - **description** *(string) --* 

          A description of the slot type.

          
        

        - **enumerationValues** *(list) --* 

          A list of ``EnumerationValue`` objects that defines the values that the slot type can take.

          
          

          - *(dict) --* 

            Each slot type can have a set of values. Each enumeration value represents a value the slot type can take. 

             

            For example, a pizza ordering bot could have a slot type that specifies the type of crust that the pizza should have. The slot type could include the values 

             

             
            * thick 
             
            * thin 
             
            * stuffed 
             

            
            

            - **value** *(string) --* 

              The value of the slot type.

              
        
      
        

        - **lastUpdatedDate** *(datetime) --* 

          The date that the slot type was updated. When you create a resource, the creation date and last update date are the same.

          
        

        - **createdDate** *(datetime) --* 

          The date that the slot type was created.

          
        

        - **version** *(string) --* 

          The version assigned to the new slot type version. 

          
        

        - **checksum** *(string) --* 

          Checksum of the ``$LATEST`` version of the slot type.

          
    

  .. py:method:: delete_bot(**kwargs)

    

    Deletes all versions of the bot, including the ``$LATEST`` version. To delete a specific version of the bot, use the  DeleteBotVersion operation.

     

    If a bot has an alias, you can't delete it. Instead, the ``DeleteBot`` operation returns a ``ResourceInUseException`` exception that includes a reference to the alias that refers to the bot. To remove the reference to the bot, delete the alias. If you get the same exception again, delete the referring alias until the ``DeleteBot`` operation is successful.

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:DeleteBot`` action.

  .. py:method:: delete_bot_alias(**kwargs)

    

    Deletes an alias for the specified bot. 

     

    You can't delete an alias that is used in the association between a bot and a messaging channel. If an alias is used in a channel association, the ``DeleteBot`` operation returns a ``ResourceInUseException`` exception that includes a reference to the channel association that refers to the bot. You can remove the reference to the alias by deleting the channel association. If you get the same exception again, delete the referring association until the ``DeleteBotAlias`` operation is successful.

  .. py:method:: get_intent_versions(**kwargs)

    

    Gets information about all of the versions of an intent.

     

    The ``GetIntentVersions`` operation returns an ``IntentMetadata`` object for each version of an intent. For example, if an intent has three numbered versions, the ``GetIntentVersions`` operation returns four ``IntentMetadata`` objects in the response, one for each numbered version and one for the ``$LATEST`` version. 

     

    The ``GetIntentVersions`` operation always returns at least one version, the ``$LATEST`` version.

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:GetIntentVersions`` action.

          - *(dict) --* 

            Each slot type can have a set of values. Each enumeration value represents a value the slot type can take. 

             

            For example, a pizza ordering bot could have a slot type that specifies the type of crust that the pizza should have. The slot type could include the values 

             

             
            * thick

  .. py:method:: get_slot_type_versions(**kwargs)

    

    Gets information about all versions of a slot type.

     

    The ``GetSlotTypeVersions`` operation returns a ``SlotTypeMetadata`` object for each version of a slot type. For example, if a slot type has three numbered versions, the ``GetSlotTypeVersions`` operation returns four ``SlotTypeMetadata`` objects in the response, one for each numbered version and one for the ``$LATEST`` version. 

     

    The ``GetSlotTypeVersions`` operation always returns at least one version, the ``$LATEST`` version.

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:GetSlotTypeVersions`` action.

  .. py:method:: get_utterances_view(**kwargs)

    

    Use the ``GetUtterancesView`` operation to get information about the utterances that your users have made to your bot. You can use this list to tune the utterances that your bot responds to.

     

    For example, say that you have created a bot to order flowers. After your users have used your bot for a while, use the ``GetUtterancesView`` operation to see the requests that they have made and whether they have been successful. You might find that the utterance "I want flowers" is not being recognized. You could add this utterance to the ``OrderFlowers`` intent so that your bot recognizes that utterance.

     

    After you publish a new version of a bot, you can get information about the old version and the new so that you can compare the performance across the two versions. 

     

    Data is available for the last 15 days. You can request information for up to 5 versions in each request. The response contains information about a maximum of 100 utterances for each version.

     

    If the bot's ``childDirected`` field is set to ``true`` , utterances for the bot are not stored and cannot be retrieved with the ``GetUtterancesView`` operation. For more information, see  PutBot .

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:GetUtterancesView`` action.

  .. py:method:: put_bot(**kwargs)

    

    Creates an Amazon Lex conversational bot or replaces an existing bot. When you create or update a bot you are only required to specify a name. You can use this to add intents later, or to remove intents from an existing bot. When you create a bot with a name only, the bot is created or updated but Amazon Lex returns the ```` response ``FAILED`` . You can build the bot after you add one or more intents. For more information about Amazon Lex bots, see  how-it-works . 

     

    If you specify the name of an existing bot, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the ``$LATEST`` version of the bot. Amazon Lex removes any fields that you don't provide values for in the request, except for the ``idleTTLInSeconds`` and ``privacySettings`` fields, which are set to their default values. If you don't specify values for required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception.

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:PutBot`` action. For more information, see  auth-and-access-control .

        Identifies the specific version of an intent.

        

      
        - **intentName** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

          The name of the intent.

          

        
        - **intentVersion** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

          The version of the intent.

          

        
      
  
    :type clarificationPrompt: dict
    :param clarificationPrompt: 

      When Amazon Lex doesn't understand the user's intent, it uses this message to get clarification. To specify how many times Amazon Lex should repeate the clarification prompt, use the ``maxAttempts`` field. If Amazon Lex still doesn't understand, it sends the message in the ``abortStatement`` field. 

       

      When you create a clarification prompt, make sure that it suggests the correct response from the user. for example, for a bot that orders pizza and drinks, you might create this clarification prompt: "What would you like to do? You can say 'Order a pizza' or 'Order a drink.'"

      

    
      - **messages** *(list) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

        An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

        

      
        - *(dict) --* 

          The message object that provides the message text and its type.

          

        
          - **contentType** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The content type of the message string.

            

          
          - **content** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The text of the message.

            

          
        
    
      - **maxAttempts** *(integer) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

        The number of times to prompt the user for information.

        

      
      - **responseCard** *(string) --* 

        A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the ``PostText`` API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see  ex-resp-card . 

        

      
    
    :type abortStatement: dict
    :param abortStatement: 

      When Amazon Lex can't understand the user's input in context, it tries to elicit the information a few times. After that, Amazon Lex sends the message defined in ``abortStatement`` to the user, and then aborts the conversation. To set the number of retries, use the ``valueElicitationPrompt`` field for the slot type. 

       

      For example, in a pizza ordering bot, Amazon Lex might ask a user "What type of crust would you like?" If the user's response is not one of the expected responses (for example, "thin crust, "deep dish," etc.), Amazon Lex tries to elicit a correct response a few more times. 

       

      For example, in a pizza ordering application, ``OrderPizza`` might be one of the intents. This intent might require the ``CrustType`` slot. You specify the ``valueElicitationPrompt`` field when you create the ``CrustType`` slot.

      

    
      - **messages** *(list) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

        A collection of message objects.

        

      
        - *(dict) --* 

          The message object that provides the message text and its type.

          

        
          - **contentType** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The content type of the message string.

            

          
          - **content** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The text of the message.

            

          
        
    
      - **responseCard** *(string) --* 

        At runtime, if the client is using the `PostText <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lex/latest/dg/API_runtime_PostText.html>`_ API, Amazon Lex includes the response card in the response. It substitutes all of the session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. 

        

      
    
    :type idleSessionTTLInSeconds: integer
    :param idleSessionTTLInSeconds: 

      The maximum time in seconds that Amazon Lex retains the data gathered in a conversation.

       

      A user interaction session remains active for the amount of time specified. If no conversation occurs during this time, the session expires and Amazon Lex deletes any data provided before the timeout.

       

      For example, suppose that a user chooses the OrderPizza intent, but gets sidetracked halfway through placing an order. If the user doesn't complete the order within the specified time, Amazon Lex discards the slot information that it gathered, and the user must start over.

       

      If you don't include the ``idleSessionTTLInSeconds`` element in a ``PutBot`` operation request, Amazon Lex uses the default value. This is also true if the request replaces an existing bot.

       

      The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

      

    
    :type voiceId: string
    :param voiceId: 

      The Amazon Polly voice ID that you want Amazon Lex to use for voice interactions with the user. The locale configured for the voice must match the locale of the bot. For more information, see `Available Voices <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/voicelist.html>`_ in the *Amazon Polly Developer Guide* .

      

    
    :type checksum: string
    :param checksum: 

      Identifies a specific revision of the ``$LATEST`` version.

       

      When you create a new bot, leave the ``checksum`` field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a ``BadRequestException`` exception.

       

      When you want to update a bot, set the ``checksum`` field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the ``$LATEST`` version. If you don't specify the ``checksum`` field, or if the checksum does not match the ``$LATEST`` version, you get a ``PreconditionFailedException`` exception.

      

    
    :type processBehavior: string
    :param processBehavior: 

      If you set the ``processBehavior`` element to ``Build`` , Amazon Lex builds the bot so that it can be run. If you set the element to ``Save`` Amazon Lex saves the bot, but doesn't build it. 

       

      If you don't specify this value, the default value is ``Save`` .

      

    
    :type locale: string
    :param locale: **[REQUIRED]** 

      Specifies the target locale for the bot. Any intent used in the bot must be compatible with the locale of the bot. 

       

      The default is ``en-US`` .

      

    
    :type childDirected: boolean
    :param childDirected: **[REQUIRED]** 

      For each Amazon Lex bot created with the Amazon Lex Model Building Service, you must specify whether your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by specifying ``true`` or ``false`` in the ``childDirected`` field. By specifying ``true`` in the ``childDirected`` field, you confirm that your use of Amazon Lex **is** related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA. By specifying ``false`` in the ``childDirected`` field, you confirm that your use of Amazon Lex **is not** related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA. You may not specify a default value for the ``childDirected`` field that does not accurately reflect whether your use of Amazon Lex is related to a website, program, or other application that is directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13 and subject to COPPA.

       

      If your use of Amazon Lex relates to a website, program, or other application that is directed in whole or in part, to children under age 13, you must obtain any required verifiable parental consent under COPPA. For information regarding the use of Amazon Lex in connection with websites, programs, or other applications that are directed or targeted, in whole or in part, to children under age 13, see the `Amazon Lex FAQ. <https://aws.amazon.com/lex/faqs#data-security>`_

  .. py:method:: put_intent(**kwargs)

    

    Creates an intent or replaces an existing intent.

     

    To define the interaction between the user and your bot, you use one or more intents. For a pizza ordering bot, for example, you would create an ``OrderPizza`` intent. 

     

    To create an intent or replace an existing intent, you must provide the following:

     

     
    * Intent name. For example, ``OrderPizza`` . 
     
    * Sample utterances. For example, "Can I order a pizza, please." and "I want to order a pizza." 
     
    * Information to be gathered. You specify slot types for the information that your bot will request from the user. You can specify standard slot types, such as a date or a time, or custom slot types such as the size and crust of a pizza. 
     
    * How the intent will be fulfilled. You can provide a Lambda function or configure the intent to return the intent information to the client application. If you use a Lambda function, when all of the intent information is available, Amazon Lex invokes your Lambda function. If you configure your intent to return the intent information to the client application.  
     

     

    You can specify other optional information in the request, such as:

     

     
    * A confirmation prompt to ask the user to confirm an intent. For example, "Shall I order your pizza?" 
     
    * A conclusion statement to send to the user after the intent has been fulfilled. For example, "I placed your pizza order." 
     
    * A follow-up prompt that asks the user for additional activity. For example, asking "Do you want to order a drink with your pizza?" 
     

     

    If you specify an existing intent name to update the intent, Amazon Lex replaces the values in the ``$LATEST`` version of the slot type with the values in the request. Amazon Lex removes fields that you don't provide in the request. If you don't specify the required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception.

     

    For more information, see  how-it-works .

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:PutIntent`` action.

    :type name: string
    :param name: **[REQUIRED]** 

      The name of the intent. The name is *not* case sensitive. 

       

      The name can't match a built-in intent name, or a built-in intent name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in intent called ``AMAZON.HelpIntent`` , you can't create a custom intent called ``HelpIntent`` .

       

      For a list of built-in intents, see `Standard Built-in Intents <https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/built-in-intent-ref/standard-intents>`_ in the *Alexa Skills Kit* .

        - **slotConstraint** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

          Specifies whether the slot is required or optional. 

          

        
        - **slotType** *(string) --* 

          The type of the slot, either a custom slot type that you defined or one of the built-in slot types.

          

        
        - **slotTypeVersion** *(string) --* 

          The version of the slot type.

            An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

            

          
            - *(dict) --* 

              The message object that provides the message text and its type.

              

            
              - **contentType** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

                The content type of the message string.

                

              
              - **content** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

                The text of the message.

                

              
            
        
          - **maxAttempts** *(integer) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The number of times to prompt the user for information.

            

          
          - **responseCard** *(string) --* 

            A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the ``PostText`` API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see  ex-resp-card . 

            

          
        
        - **priority** *(integer) --* 

          Directs Lex the order in which to elicit this slot value from the user. For example, if the intent has two slots with priorities 1 and 2, AWS Lex first elicits a value for the slot with priority 1.

           

          If multiple slots share the same priority, the order in which Lex elicits values is arbitrary.

          

        
        - **sampleUtterances** *(list) --* 

          If you know a specific pattern with which users might respond to an Amazon Lex request for a slot value, you can provide those utterances to improve accuracy. This is optional. In most cases, Amazon Lex is capable of understanding user utterances. 

          

        
          - *(string) --* 

          
      
        - **responseCard** *(string) --*

    :type sampleUtterances: list
    :param sampleUtterances: 

      An array of utterances (strings) that a user might say to signal the intent. For example, "I want {PizzaSize} pizza", "Order {Quantity} {PizzaSize} pizzas".

      - *(string) --* 

      
  
    :type confirmationPrompt: dict
    :param confirmationPrompt: 

      Prompts the user to confirm the intent. This question should have a yes or no answer.

       

      Amazon Lex uses this prompt to ensure that the user acknowledges that the intent is ready for fulfillment. For example, with the ``OrderPizza`` intent, you might want to confirm that the order is correct before placing it. For other intents, such as intents that simply respond to user questions, you might not need to ask the user for confirmation before providing the information. 

       

      .. note::

         

        You you must provide both the ``rejectionStatement`` and the ``confirmationPrompt`` , or neither.

         

      

    
      - **messages** *(list) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

        An array of objects, each of which provides a message string and its type. You can specify the message string in plain text or in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

          - **contentType** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The content type of the message string.

            

          
          - **content** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

            The text of the message.

            

          
        
    
      - **maxAttempts** *(integer) --* **[REQUIRED]**

      - **responseCard** *(string) --* 

        A response card. Amazon Lex uses this prompt at runtime, in the ``PostText`` API response. It substitutes session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. For more information, see  ex-resp-card . 

        

      
    
    :type rejectionStatement: dict
    :param rejectionStatement: 

      When the user answers "no" to the question defined in ``confirmationPrompt`` , Amazon Lex responds with this statement to acknowledge that the intent was canceled. 

       

      .. note::

         

        You must provide both the ``rejectionStatement`` and the ``confirmationPrompt`` , or neither.

         

      

    
      - **messages** *(list) --* **[REQUIRED]**

        At runtime, if the client is using the `PostText <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lex/latest/dg/API_runtime_PostText.html>`_ API, Amazon Lex includes the response card in the response. It substitutes all of the session attributes and slot values for placeholders in the response card. 

        

      
    
    :type followUpPrompt: dict
    :param followUpPrompt: 

      Amazon Lex uses this prompt to solicit additional activity after fulfilling an intent. For example, after the ``OrderPizza`` intent is fulfilled, you might prompt the user to order a drink.

       

      The action that Amazon Lex takes depends on the user's response, as follows:

       

       
      * If the user says "Yes" it responds with the clarification prompt that is configured for the bot. 
       
      * if the user says "Yes" and continues with an utterance that triggers an intent it starts a conversation for the intent. 
       
      * If the user says "No" it responds with the rejection statement configured for the the follow-up prompt. 
       
      * If it doesn't recognize the utterance it repeats the follow-up prompt again. 
       

       

      The ``followUpPrompt`` field and the ``conclusionStatement`` field are mutually exclusive. You can specify only one.

    :type conclusionStatement: dict
    :param conclusionStatement: 

      The statement that you want Amazon Lex to convey to the user after the intent is successfully fulfilled by the Lambda function. 

       

      This element is relevant only if you provide a Lambda function in the ``fulfillmentActivity`` . If you return the intent to the client application, you can't specify this element.

       

      .. note::

         

        The ``followUpPrompt`` and ``conclusionStatement`` are mutually exclusive. You can specify only one.

         

      

    
      - **messages** *(list) --* **[REQUIRED]**

    :type dialogCodeHook: dict
    :param dialogCodeHook: 

      Specifies a Lambda function to invoke for each user input. You can invoke this Lambda function to personalize user interaction. 

       

      For example, suppose your bot determines that the user is John. Your Lambda function might retrieve John's information from a backend database and prepopulate some of the values. For example, if you find that John is gluten intolerant, you might set the corresponding intent slot, ``GlutenIntolerant`` , to true. You might find John's phone number and set the corresponding session attribute. 

      

    
      - **uri** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Lambda function.

      A unique identifier for the built-in intent to base this intent on. To find the signature for an intent, see `Standard Built-in Intents <https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/built-in-intent-ref/standard-intents>`_ in the *Alexa Skills Kit* .

      

    
    :type checksum: string
    :param checksum: 

      Identifies a specific revision of the ``$LATEST`` version.

       

      When you create a new intent, leave the ``checksum`` field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a ``BadRequestException`` exception.

       

      When you want to update a intent, set the ``checksum`` field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the ``$LATEST`` version. If you don't specify the ``checksum`` field, or if the checksum does not match the ``$LATEST`` version, you get a ``PreconditionFailedException`` exception.

        - **createdDate** *(datetime) --* 

          The date that the intent was created.

          
        

        - **version** *(string) --* 

          The version of the intent. For a new intent, the version is always ``$LATEST`` .

          
        

        - **checksum** *(string) --* 

          Checksum of the ``$LATEST`` version of the intent created or updated.

          
    

  .. py:method:: put_slot_type(**kwargs)

    

    Creates a custom slot type or replaces an existing custom slot type.

     

    To create a custom slot type, specify a name for the slot type and a set of enumeration values, which are the values that a slot of this type can assume. For more information, see  how-it-works .

     

    If you specify the name of an existing slot type, the fields in the request replace the existing values in the ``$LATEST`` version of the slot type. Amazon Lex removes the fields that you don't provide in the request. If you don't specify required fields, Amazon Lex throws an exception.

     

    This operation requires permissions for the ``lex:PutSlotType`` action.

    **Request Syntax** 
    ::

      response = client.put_slot_type(
          name='string',
          description='string',
          enumerationValues=[
              {
                  'value': 'string'
              },
          ],
          checksum='string'
      )
    :type name: string
    :param name: **[REQUIRED]** 

      The name of the slot type. The name is *not* case sensitive. 

       

      The name can't match a built-in slot type name, or a built-in slot type name with "AMAZON." removed. For example, because there is a built-in slot type called ``AMAZON.DATE`` , you can't create a custom slot type called ``DATE`` .

       

      For a list of built-in slot types, see `Slot Type Reference <https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/built-in-intent-ref/slot-type-reference>`_ in the *Alexa Skills Kit* .

      

    
    :type description: string
    :param description: 

      A description of the slot type.

      

    
    :type enumerationValues: list
    :param enumerationValues: 

      A list of ``EnumerationValue`` objects that defines the values that the slot type can take.

      

    
      - *(dict) --* 

        Each slot type can have a set of values. Each enumeration value represents a value the slot type can take. 

         

        For example, a pizza ordering bot could have a slot type that specifies the type of crust that the pizza should have. The slot type could include the values 

         

         
        * thick 
         
        * thin 
         
        * stuffed 
         

        

      
        - **value** *(string) --* **[REQUIRED]** 

          The value of the slot type.

          

        
      
  
    :type checksum: string
    :param checksum: 

      Identifies a specific revision of the ``$LATEST`` version.

       

      When you create a new slot type, leave the ``checksum`` field blank. If you specify a checksum you get a ``BadRequestException`` exception.

       

      When you want to update a slot type, set the ``checksum`` field to the checksum of the most recent revision of the ``$LATEST`` version. If you don't specify the ``checksum`` field, or if the checksum does not match the ``$LATEST`` version, you get a ``PreconditionFailedException`` exception.
