Set up

Requirements

• Ruby 2.6.x version
• Sqlite3
• Node.js 10.x or 12.x version

Twilio Account Settings

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your own application. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:

Config Value	Description
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID and TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN	You could find them on Twilio console here
API_HOST	The one generated by ngrok
TWILIO_NUMBER	You could get one on Twilio console here

Local Development

1. First clone this repository and cd into it.

   git clone git://github.com/TwilioDevEd/clicktocall-rails.git
   cd clicktocall-rails

2. Install the dependencies.

   make install

3. Set your environment variables.

   cp .env.example .env

   See Twilio Account Settings to locate the necessary environment variables. The phone number should be in E.164 format.

4. Setup server

   make serve-setup

5. Start the development server (will run on port 3000).

   make serve

6. Expose your application to the wider internet using ngrok. You can click here for more details. This step is important because the application won't work as expected if you run it through localhost.

   ngrok http 3000

7. Once ngrok is running, open up your browser and go to your ngrok URL. It will look like this: http://<ngrok-subdomain>.ngrok.io Then, enter a number in the box provided and click "Contact Sales" to initiate a call.

That's it!

Tests

You can run the tests locally by runnung:

bundle exec rails test
