how to send followup event from webhook using action-on-google lib

by followupEvent i’m refering to this: https://api.ai/docs/fulfillment#response https://api.ai/docs/events#invoking_event_from_webhook

I have read rest of the https://dialogflow.com/ document more then twice(since it is updating frequently) and I know well how to send followup events with simple webhook (with simple rest service webhook without action-on-google), here is my repo with the sample of it (see commented code from line 35 to 54) https://github.com/malikasinger1/quizbot-reactjs-api.ai-firebase-function/blob/master/functions/src/lib/apiai-functions.ts

but my question is how to send it with action-on-google nodejs library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/actions-on-google) since we handover the request object to action-on-google and it gives us an object app, we have methods in the object like app.ask() app.tell(), app.setContext() so i was expecting for some method like:

app.followupEvent("<event_name>",{
         "<parameter_name>":"<parameter_value>>"
      }) 
app.ask();

OR

app.askWithFollowupEvent({...
})

so what you say about this? if you don’t have these method you should add one, and please let me know some place where you guise discuss future plannings

At the moment I do the following:

const response = {
    followupEvent: {
        name: "MyEventName",
        data: { value1: "asd", value2: "qwe" }
    }
}
return myDialogflowApp.response_.status(200).send(response);

It’s dirty, but it works and while waiting for approval and eventual publish I think is better than nothing

I could not find anything in the documentation. I found a function in v2 code conv.js

// See followup(event, parameters, lang).
    conv.followup(eventName);
