This module contains the Node.js client library for the Asterisk REST Interface.
It builds upon the swagger-js library, providing an improved, Asterisk-specific
API over the API generated by swagger-js.

$ npm install ari-client 

The client exposes a connect function that can be used to connect to an instance
of ARI and to configure a client with all available resources and operations.

var client = require('ari-client');
client.connect(url, username, password, function (err, ari) {})

Upon connecting, a callback will be called passing a reference to a client with all available resources attached.

ari.bridges, ari.channels, ari.endpoints...

Those properties expose operations that can be performed for that given resource.

ari.bridges.list(function (err, bridges) {});
ari.bridges.get({bridgeId: 'uniqueid'}, function (err, bridge) {});

Operations that return a resource or a list of resources expose the same operations tied to that given instance.

bridge.addChannel({channel: 'uniqueid'});

Note that the bridge id was not required since the operation was called from a resource instance. The above operation is equivalent to the following:

ari.bridges.addChannel({bridgeId: 'uniqueid', channel: 'uniqueid'});

The client also exposes functions to create new resources.

ari.Bridge(), ari.Channel(), ari.Playback(), ari.LiveRecording()

The instance returned by these functions can then be used to call a create operations in ARI.

var bridge = ari.Bridge();
bridge.create(function (err, bridge) {});

Note that the create operation returns an updated copy of the bridge after creation.

Using this method of resource creation, it is possible to register event listeners for a resource before it is created in ARI.

var channel = ari.Channel();
channel.on('StasisStart', function (event, channel) {});
channel.on('ChannelDtmfReceived', function (event, channel) {});
channel.originate(
    {endpoint: 'SIP/1000', app: 'application', appArgs: 'dialed'},
    function(err, channel) {}
);

Some create operations require an instance be passed in for this to work.

var playback = ari.Playback();
channel.play({media: 'sound:hello-world'}, playback, function (err, playback) {});

Replace ari.js with your Asterisk instance.

To run the mocha tests for ari-client, run the following:

grunt mochaTest

The tests run against a mocked ARI REST endpoint and websocket server.

After cloning the git repository, run the following to install all dev dependencies:

npm install
npm link

Then run the following to run jshint and mocha tests:

grunt

jshint will enforce a minimal style guide. It is also a good idea to create unit tests when adding new features to ari-client.

Unit test fixtures for ARI resources can be generated from a local asterisk instance by running the following:

grunt genfixtures

Once you have done this and loaded a mocked ARI server, individual calls can be mocked using the hock library. Websocket events can be mocked by creating a websocket server and calling its send method. The helpers module exposes methods for creating a mocked ARI server and a mocked websocket server for use in writing unit tests.

Developer documentation can ge generated by running the following:

grunt jsdoc
