Adding Validators to user response

If you need to validate user response , under each question we have a handlers where you can pass validators to validate user response and drive the chat accordingly.

Validators can either be a regex or a function which returns boolean

BotConfig.questions = [{'dob': {
            id: 1,
            message: "What's your Date of Birth (DD/MM/YYYY)?",
            questionKey : 'dob',
            handlers: [
                {
                    validators: dateReg,
                    nextQuestion: 'email',
                },
                {
                    validators: dateRegNeg,
                    nextQuestion: 'dobWrong',
                },
            ],
        }},'dobWrong': {
            id: 2,
            message: "Please enter a valid date of birth",
            questionKey : 'dob',
            handlers: [
                {
                    validators: dateReg,
                    nextQuestion: 'email',
                },
                {
                    validators: dateRegNeg,
                    nextQuestion: 'dobWrong',
                },
            ],
        }];
