react-native-twilio example project

The Example show you how to:

  • initialize the device
  • make calls
  • receive calls

ios

Currently the ios example app is not done.

android

setup

server

The server must implement:

  • GET /token/
  • POST /calls/

If you don't have your server code yet you can simply use a server example provided by Twilio. The simplier way is to download and run a the Python example mobile-quickstart.

You will need to amend server.py to use your Twilio credentials.

The app only needs two endpoints running:

# TwiML response for incoming/outgoing calls
GET or POST http://localhost:5000/calls/

# generate a JWT token for the app to initialise the device
GET http://localhost:5000/token/

Setup an TwiML app through the Twilio Console and use the APP_ID for the server configuration.

Then you need to expose the server to the outside world so that Twilio can contact it when it looks for the TwiML to answer calls. You can use ngrok to do that

./ngrok http 5000
# 5000 is the port you specified in server.py

react-native

You will need to have react-native installed and available in your PATH.

Add your server IP address to .env

ENV=dev
API_URL=http://SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:YOUR_SERVER_PORT/
# install JS dependencies
cd RNTwilioExample
npm install

# run the JS packager
npm start

# compile and install a debug build
ENVFILE=.env react-native run-android
# or simply
react-native run-android
# because .env is the default config file

Now reload JS and you should be connected.
