Installation

npm install @vonage/server-sdk

Constructor

const Vonage = require('@vonage/server-sdk');

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

• apiKey - API Key from Vonage API. If applicationId and privateKey are present, apiKey is optional.
• apiSecret - API SECRET from Vonage API. If applicationId and privateKey are present, apiSecret is optional.
• applicationId - (optional) The Vonage API Application ID to be used when creating JWTs.
• privateKey - (optional) The Private Key to be used when creating JWTs. You can specify the key as any of the following:
  • A Buffer containing the file contents.
  • A String containing the path to the key file on disk.
  • A String containing the key itself.
• signatureSecret - (optional) API signature secret from Vonage API, used for signing SMS message requests
• signatureMethod - (optional) signature method matching the one you gave Vonage API, used for signing SMS message requests. Must be one of "md5hash", "md5", "sha1", "sha256", or "sha512"
• options - (optional) Additional options for the constructor.

Options are:

{
  // If true, log information to the console
  debug: true|false,
  // append info the the User-Agent sent to Nexmo
  // e.g. pass 'my-app' for /nexmo-node/1.0.0/4.2.7/my-app
  appendToUserAgent: string,
  // Set a custom logger
  logger: {
    log: function() {level, args...}
    info: function() {args...},
    warn: function() {args...}
  },
  // Set a custom timeout for requests to Nexmo in milliseconds. Defaults to the standard for Node http requests, which is 120,000 ms.
  timeout: integer,
  // Set a custom host for requests instead of api.nexmo.com
  apiHost: string,
  // Set a custom host for requests instead of rest.nexmo.com
  restHost: string
}

Callbacks

All methods expect a callback function to be passed in, with a method signature of (error, response) where:

• error - is an Error object if the API call returns an error, or null if the API call was successful.
• response - is an Object, with the API response if the API call was successful, or null if there was an error.

Example:

callback = (error, response) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error)
  }

  if (response) {
    console.log(response)
  }
}

Testing

Run:

npm test

Or to continually watch and run tests as you change the code:

npm run test-watch
