Misleading Naming on Recognizers

@anastasiia-zolochevska As with the Node SDK, you can use the LUIS recognizer and Regex recognizer as middleware or just inline:

  _luis = new LuisRecognizerMiddleware(
            this.Configuration["MICROSOFT_LUIS_APP_ID"],
            this.Configuration["MICROSOFT_LUIS_APP_PASSWORD"]);
        }
var intents = await _luis.Recognize(context);

In Node, this is fairly clear because the recognizer is just called LuisRecognizer, and samples show it being used as middleware. In C#, calling the recognizer LuisRecognizerMiddleware implies that it’s only a piece of middleware. Several developers have been under the impression that the only way to use LUIS is to call the raw endpoint.

@ryanvolum totally agree with your points. The luis middleware is actually using the luis NuGet package which is why the client isn’t in our source code. I think having the middleware expose a recognizer might be too confusing and we maybe need to look to separate the two out so that the middleware simply uses a recognizer behind the scenes. Not an easy one.

Closing, as the LUIS PRs and other recognizer code has changed to be unrecognizable from when this was filed.
