Vonage Client SDK

The Client SDK is intended to provide a ready solution for developers to build Programmable Conversation applications across multiple Channels including: Messages, Voice, SIP, websockets, and App.

⚠️ Warning: Chat Functionality (Beta)

The chat functionality in our SDK is currently in beta. Methods related to chat may undergo changes as we refine and improve this feature. Please be aware of potential updates as we work towards its stability. Your feedback is valuable in shaping its development.

Installation

The SDK can be installed using the npm install command

npm i @vonage/client-sdk

SDK setup

With bundler (Webpack, Vite, etc.) and React

import {
  VonageClient,
  ClientConfig,
  ConfigRegion,
  LoggingLevel
} from '@vonage/client-sdk';
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

function App() {
  const [config] = useState(() => new ClientConfig(ConfigRegion.AP));
  const [client] = useState(() => {
    // Initialize client with optional config (default: ERROR logging, US region).
    const client = new VonageClient({
      loggingLevel: LoggingLevel.DEBUG,
      region: ConfigRegion.EU
    });
    // Or update some options after initialization.
    client.setConfig(config);
    return client;
  });
  const [session, setSession] = useState();
  const [user, setUser] = useState();
  const [error, setError] = useState();

  // Create Session as soon as client is available
  useEffect(() => {
    if (!client) return;
    client
      .createSession('my-token')
      .then((session) => setSession(session))
      .catch((error) => setError(error));
  }, [client]);

  // Get User as soon as a session is available
  useEffect(() => {
    if (!client || !session) return;
    client
      .getUser('me')
      .then((user) => setUser(user))
      .catch((error) => setError(error));
  }, [client, session]);

  if (error) return <pre>{JSON.stringify(error)}</pre>;

  if (!session || !user) return <div>Loading...</div>;

  return <div>User {user.displayName || user.name} logged in</div>;
}

export default App;

With script tag (UMD)

<!-- <script src="./node_modules/@vonage/client-sdk/dist/vonageClientSDK.js"></script> -->
<!-- <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@vonage/client-sdk@1.0.0/dist/vonageClientSDK.min.js"></script> -->
<script src="./node_modules/@vonage/client-sdk/dist/vonageClientSDK.min.js"></script>
<script>
  const token = 'my-token';
  // Initialize client with optional config (default: ERROR logging, US region).
  const client = new vonageClientSDK.VoiceClient({
    loggingLevel: LoggingLevel.DEBUG, 
    region: ConfigRegion.EU
  });
  // Or update some options after initialization.
  client.setConfig({
    region: ConfigRegion.AP
  });

  client.createSession(token).then((Session) => {});
</script>

With CDN (ES)

import {
  VonageClient,
  ConfigRegion,
  LoggingLevel
} from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@vonage/client-sdk@1.0.0/dist/vonageClientSDK.esm.min.js';

// Initialize client with optional config (default: ERROR logging, US region).
const client = new VonageClient({
  loggingLevel: LoggingLevel.DEBUG,
  region: ConfigRegion.EU
});

// Or update some options after initialization.
client.setConfig({
  region: ConfigRegion.AP
});

(async () => {
  const token = 'my-token';
  try {
    // Create Session
    const sessionId = await client.createSession(token);
    // Get User
    const user = await client.getUser('me');
    console.log(
      `User ${
        user.displayName || user.name
      } logged in with session ID: ${sessionId}`
    );
  } catch (error) {
    // Log errors for either createSession or getUser
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

Example Usage

Below are several typical scenarios where the SDK is commonly utilized.

Make an Outbound Call

const context = {
  callee: 'user1'
};

const callId = await client.serverCall(context);

Answer/Reject an Inbound Call

client.on('callInvite', async (callId, from, channelType) => {
  console.log(`Received call invite from ${from} on ${channelType}`);

  // Accept the call
  await client.answer(callId);

  // Reject the call
  await client.reject(callId);
});

client.on('callInviteCancel', (callId, reason) => {
  if (reason === CancelReason.AnsweredElsewhere) {
    console.log(`Call ${callId} was answered elsewhere`);
  } else if (reason === CancelReason.RejectedElsewhere) {
    console.log(`Call ${callId} was rejected elsewhere`);
  } else if (reason === CancelReason.RemoteCancel) {
    console.log(`Call ${callId} was cancelled by the caller`);
  } else if (reason === CancelReason.RemoteTimeout) {
    console.log(`Call ${callId} timed out`);
  }
});

Hang-up and Collect Stats

client.on(
  'callHangup',
  (callId: string, callQuality: RTCQuality, reason: HangupReason) => {
    if (reason == 'LOCAL_HANGUP') {
      console.log(`Call ${callId} was hung up locally`);
    } else if (reason == 'REMOTE_HANGUP') {
      console.log(`Call ${callId} was hung up remotely`);
    } else if (reason == 'REMOTE_REJECT') {
      console.log(`Call ${callId} was rejected remotely`);
    } else if (reason == 'REMOTE_NO_ANSWER_TIMEOUT') {
      console.log(`Call ${callId} timed out`);
    } else if (reason == 'MEDIA_TIMEOUT') {
      console.log(`Call ${callId} timed out`);
    } else {
      exhaustiveCheck(reason);
    }
  }
);

Get Conversations

const { conversations, nextCursor, previousCursor } =
  await client.getConversations({
    order: PresentingOrder.DESC,
    pageSize: 10,
    cursor: undefined,
    includeCustomData: true,
    orderBy: OrderBy.CUSTOM_SORT_KEY
  });

Send Text Messages

const timestamp = await client.sendMessageTextEvent(
  'CONVERSATION_ID',
  'Hello World!'
);

Listen for Conversation Events

const eventHandler = (event: ConversationEvent) => {
  if (event.kind == 'member:invited') {
    console.log(`Member invited: ${event.body.memberId}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'member:joined') {
    console.log(`Member joined: ${event.body.memberId}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'member:left') {
    console.log(`Member left: ${event.body.memberId}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'ephemeral') {
    console.log(`Ephemeral event: ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'custom') {
    console.log(`Custom event: ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:text') {
    console.log(`Text message: ${event.body.text}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:custom') {
    console.log(`Custom message: ${event.body.customData}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:image') {
    console.log(`Image message: ${event.body.imageUrl}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:video') {
    console.log(`Video message: ${event.body.videoUrl}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:audio') {
    console.log(`Audio message: ${event.body.audioUrl}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:file') {
    console.log(`File message: ${event.body.fileUrl}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:vcard') {
    console.log(`Vcard message: ${event.body.vcardUrl}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:location') {
    console.log(`Location message: ${event.body.location}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:template') {
    console.log(`Template message: ${event.body.template}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'event:delete') {
    console.log(`Template message: ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:seen') {
    console.log(`Template message: ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:delivered') {
    console.log(`Message delivered event: ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:rejected') {
    console.log(`Message rejected event ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:submitted') {
    console.log(`Message delivered event ${event.body}`);
  } else if (event.kind == 'message:undeliverable') {
    console.log(`Message undeliverable event ${event.body}`);
  } else {
    exhaustiveCheck(event);
  }
};

const listener = client.on('conversationEvent', eventHandler);

client.off('conversationEvent', listener);
