Alexa Node JS how to handle cancel event for multiple events

Question

I have multiple custom skill intents. I want to handle cancel the event for all custom intents. How can I get that which cancel is getting called.

const Alexa = require('alexa-sdk');
exports.handler = (event, context) => {
  const alexa = Alexa.handler(event, context);
  var APP_ID = "amzn1.ask.skill.[ssdad-5c61-4d4e-b2bf-7eea8a491816]";
  alexa.APP_ID = APP_ID;
  alexa.registerHandlers(handlers);
  alexa.execute();
};
const handlers = {
  'ConfirmChangeEvent': function() {
    this.emit(':ask', "Do u want commit for change? ");
  },
  'ConfirmLastAction': function() {
    this.emit(':ask', "Do u want confirm for last Action?");
  },

  'LaunchRequest': function() {
    this.emit(':tell', "Hi Damodar, I'm Dialogue manager");
  },
  'Amazon.CancelIntent' : function() {
    // i want handle cancel on both intents here  ConfirmLastAction and Conf irmChangeEvent

    //if ConfirmChangeEvent  should give output like "Okay cancelling changeEvent "

    // ConfirmChangeEvent  should give output like "Okay cancelling the Last Action " 

  }

  'Unhandled': function() {
    this.emit(':tell', "I'm not able to respond at this time");
  }
};

How can we handle this in node JS Alexa

what do you mean by 'cancel the event for all custom intents?'. There is only one session holding everything. If you cancel it, it will cancel as a whole — Vijayanath Viswanathan, Nov 08 '17 at 13:39

You need to use state management. Here is a link to the docs https://github.com/alexa/alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-nodejs#making-skill-state-management-simpler

By using state handlers you could have a different cancel response based on the user's current state.
