Installation

We recommend using this SDK as part of the overall @vonage/server-sdk package. Please see the main package for installation.

You can also use this SDK standalone if you only need access to just the Conversations API.

With NPM

npm install @vonage/conversations

With Yarn

yarn add @vonage/conversations

Usage

As part of the Vonage Server SDK

If you are using this SDK as part of the Vonage Server SDK, you can access it as the conversations property off of the client that you instantiate.

const { Vonage } = require('@vonage/server-sdk');
const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');

const vonage = new Vonage(new Auth({
  apiKey: API_KEY,
  apiSecret: API_SECRET,
  applicationId: APP_ID,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
}), options);

vonage.conversations.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)

Standalone

The SDK can be used standalone from the main Vonage Server SDK for Node.js if you only need to use the Conversations API. All you need to do is require('@vonage/conversations'), and use the returned object to create your own client.

const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');
const { Conversations } = require('@vonage/conversations');

const conversationsClient = new Conversations(new Auth({
  apiKey: API_KEY,
  apiSecret: API_SECRET,
  applicationId: APP_ID,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
}), options);

conversationsClient.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)

Promises

Most methods that interact with the Vonage API uses Promises. You can either resolve these yourself, or use await to wait for a response.

const resp = await conversationsClient.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)

conversationsClient.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)
  .then(resp => console.log(resp))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Testing
