twilio-taskrouter.js

TaskRouter is Twilio's skills based routing system. With this library, you can manage your Workers in the browser or view the state of your Workspace.

This version of TaskRouter SDK can be used with Twilio Flex and TaskRouter standalone instances.

Installation

NPM

npm install twilio-taskrouter

Usage

The following is a simple example showing a Worker waiting for Reservations. For more information, refer to the API Docs.

const TaskRouter = require("twilio-taskrouter");
const Twilio = require("twilio");
const AccessToken = Twilio.jwt.AccessToken;
const TaskRouterGrant = AccessToken.TaskRouterGrant;

const accountSid = "";
const signingKeySid = "";
const signingKeySecret = "";
const workspaceSid = "";
const workerSid = "";

const token = createAccessToken(
  accountSid,
  signingKeySid,
  signingKeySecret,
  workspaceSid,
  workerSid
);
const alice = new TaskRouter.Worker(token);

alice.on("ready", (readyAlice) => {
  console.log(`Worker ${readyAlice.sid} is now ready for work`);
});

alice.on("reservationCreated", (reservation) => {
  console.log(
    `Reservation ${reservation.sid} has been created for ${alice.sid}`
  );
  console.log(`Task attributes are: ${reservation.task.attributes}`);

  reservation.on("accepted", (acceptedReservation) => {
    console.log(`Reservation ${acceptedReservation.sid} was accepted.`);
  });

  reservation
    .accept()
    .then((acceptedReservation) => {
      console.log(`Reservation status is ${acceptedReservation.status}`);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.log(`Error: ${err}`);
    });
});

function createAccessToken(
  accountSid,
  signingKeySid,
  signingKeySecret,
  workspaceSid,
  workerSid
) {
  const taskRouterGrant = new TaskRouterGrant({
    workerSid: workerSid,
    workspaceSid: workspaceSid,
    role: "worker",
  });

  const accessToken = new AccessToken(
    accountSid,
    signingKeySid,
    signingKeySecret
  );
  accessToken.addGrant(taskRouterGrant);
  accessToken.identity = "alice";

  return accessToken.toJwt();
}
