quickreplies coding for node-wit example messenger.js - node.js

Question

I cannot get quickreplies to work in node-wit messenger.js example.
I tried may things including:
1) Updated this line of code Our bot actions (messenger.js):
const actions = { send({sessionId}, {text,quickreplies})
2) And Updated this line of code Our bot actions (messenger.js):
return fbMessage(recipientId, text,quickreplies)
3) Updated my custom action in messenger.js :
getWelcome({context, entities})
{
context.welcome = "how are you. Please select from the options below";
context.welcome.quickreplies = [
{
title: 'Choice A',
content_type: 'text',
payload: 'empty'
},
{
title: 'Choice B',
content_type: 'text',
payload: 'empty'
},
]
return context;
},
4) I tried so many permutations. I cant get it to work with node-wit messenger.js example. The quick repliess are not displayed I searched and read all documentation
5) Can you help with this and also exactly how to retrieve the quick reply selected in messenger.js
Thanks

Sorry if it is late, but I guess you were looking for this:
send(request, response) {
const {sessionId, context, entities} = request;
let {text, quickreplies} = response;
if(text.substring(0,6) === IDENTIFY_PAYLOAD){
text = text.substring(6); // It is a payload, not raw text
} else {
text = {"text": text};
}
if(typeof quickreplies !== "undefined"){
text.quick_replies = response.quickreplies
.map(x => { return {
"title": x, "content_type": "text", "payload": "empty"}
});
}
}
What I did was sending a payload with a string that identifies it is not raw text (That's why I use an identifier for a payload), then in the send action I receive the two parameters request and response, and I get their attributes. Finally, I convert the payload params using a routine which I find on internet and that in fact works well to map the quick replies.
