How do I match a enum symbol in a result view?

Question

I have some training examples that have the same goal, but use enums/symbols (to reduce the training examples needed.)

How can I match the symbols in a result view?

I've looked at pattern matching in the docs here: https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/dev-guide/developers/customizing-plan.match-patterns

I think this is pretty straightforward. I have an enum:

enum (sizes) {
  description (drink sizes)
  symbol (large)
  symbol (medium)
  symbol (small) 
}

And some corresponding vocabulary:

vocab (sizes) {
"large" {"large", "largest", "big"}
"medium" {"medium", "normal"}
"small" {"small", "smallest", "tiny"}
}

And then for training I might have:

[g:BuyDrink] I want a (large)[v:sizes:large] drink
[g:BuyDrink] I want the (smallest)[v:sizes:small] drink

I want different result views for the two utterances, but I can't figure out the correct match pattern.

Please be aware that enums typically do not reduce the number of training examples needed as indicated in your question. Enums simply limit the input to a valid enum value (extended with vocab). Without an enum, Bixby training will accept any phrase as input. Also note when creating training it's good to double check different phrase lengths - if you train on "Find a foo bar foo" with "foo bar foo" being the concept, Bixby NLU should pick up any phrase three words or shorter - additional training may be needed for longer phrases — rogerkibbe, Jul 30 '19 at 01:13

The match pattern will work for concept types. You should be able to create a layout for any variations of the value when you render the view. For example:

Action:

action (BuyDrink) {
  type(Search)
  description (Buy a drink (small, medium, or large))
  collect {
    input (size) {
      type (sizes)
      min (Optional) max (One)
    }
  }
  output (sizes)
}

View:

  result-view {
      match {
        sizes(drinkSize) {
          from-output: BuyDrink(drink) 
        }

      }

      render {

        if (drinkSize  == 'large') {
          layout-macro (large)
        }
        else-if (drink == 'medium') {
          layout-macro (medium)
        }
        else {
          layout-macro (small)
        }

      }

    }

Large layout:

layout-macro-def (large) {
  content {
    single-line {
      text(This is LARGE)
    }
  }
}

Medium layout:

layout-macro-def (medium) {
  content {
    single-line {
      text(This is Medium)
    }
  }
}

Small layout:

layout-macro-def (small) {
  content {
    single-line {
      text(This is small)
    }
  }
}
