Vonage POC

This is a proof of concept using Vonage SDK.

Quick start

# configure some environment variables
cp .env.example .env
vim .env # edit it using your favorite editor

# install dependencies
npm install

# start the project (listen to changes)
npm run dev

And go to: http://localhost:3000/

Concepts

The route GET /api/session/:name will generate an answer which will look like this:

{
  "name": "sessionName",
  "id": "sessionId",
  "token": "token",
  "key": "apiKey"
}

The name will get the value from :name.

The sessionId will be generated the first time a session name is called. For the next callers, it will serve the value generated previously.

A new value for token will be generated each time this URL is called for this session.

The key is simply the value of the VONAGE_API_KEY environment variable.

When the client is loaded, it will do a request to the route mentionned above and directly start a session call.
