Instantiating and using
To use the library you need to generate a token and pass it to the conversations Client create
factory.
NPM
npm install --save @twilio/conversations
Using this method, you can require
twilio-conversations
and then use the client:
const Conversations = require('twilio-conversations');
Conversations.Client.create(token).then(client => {
// Use client
});
Or, if you prefer async
/await
syntax:
const Conversations = require('twilio-conversations');
const client = await Conversations.Client.create(token);
// Use client
The SDK could also be imported using the ES module syntax:
import Conversations from '@twilio/conversations';
const client = await Conversations.Client.create(token);
// Use client
CDN
Releases of twilio-conversations.js
are hosted on a CDN, and you can include these
directly in your web app using a <script>
tag.
<script src="https://media.twiliocdn.com/sdk/js/conversations/v1.2/twilio-conversations.min.js"></script>
Using this method, twilio-conversations.js
will set a browser global Twilio.Conversations
through which you can use the client :
Twilio.Conversations.Client.create(token).then(client => {
// Use client
});
or, if you prefer async
/await
syntax:
let client = await Twilio.Conversations.Client.create(token);
// Use client
Security
The CDN consumption described above allows you to consume latest bug fixed versions automatically, but does not prevent from detecting malicious modifications in the SDK code.
If you require more security you will have to consume SDK by using SRI and using an exact version number. While less flexible it is significantly more secure, which is required by some applications.
To consume securely use the following script snippet format:
<script src="https://media.twiliocdn.com/sdk/js/conversations/releases/1.2.0/twilio-conversations.min.js"
integrity="sha256-<HASH FROM THE CHANGELOGS PAGE>"
