Amazon Echo development: ways to set shouldEndSession

Question

How should I set the shouldEndSession to be false in my intent handler?

I tried to do something like:

response.shouldEndSession(false);

But it didn't work. I'm using JavaScript.

If you're using Node.js, you should be able to do the following:

response.shouldEndSession(false, "Reprompt your user here");

If you're using just plain Javascript and just setting the value in your return object, you want to include the following if your response:

{
...
  "reprompt": {
    "outputSpeech": {
      "type": "PlainText",
      "text": "Reprompt your user here"
    }
  },
  "shouldEndSession": false
}
