Change options text after user interaction

Hi, I've been using the lib for a while now for a little project, congratulations to the maintainers!

I have a question, is it possible to change the content of an option after the user clicks? Currently, when the user chooses an option, the content that is displayed in the user's message is the same as the option, I wanted to change it to some custom text so that the bot's response follows the content of the changed text.

Hi @carlosferreirahd, if I am understanding correctly, you are trying to achieve this behavior:

• User is presented with options
• User picks an option (e.g. "food")
• Instead of sending "food" into chat, send a custom text
• The bot uses the custom text for some further logic

If this is what you're looking to achieve, consider setting sendOutput in the options attribute to false: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/api/attributes#options

You can then use the function attribute to call params.injectMessage with the custom text you wish to send on behalf of the user: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/api/attributes#function

If I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to achieve feel free to correct me, hope this helps! 😊
