## Installation

We recommend using this SDK as part of the overall [`@vonage/server-sdk` package](https://github.com/vonage/vonage-node-sdk). Please see the main package for installation.

You can also use this SDK standalone if you only need access to just the Conversations API.

### With NPM

```bash
npm install @vonage/conversations
```

### With Yarn

```bash
yarn add @vonage/conversations
```

## Usage

### As part of the Vonage Server SDK

If you are using this SDK as part of the Vonage Server SDK, you can access it as the `conversations` property off of the client that you instantiate.

```js
const { Vonage } = require('@vonage/server-sdk');
const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');

const vonage = new Vonage(new Auth({
  apiKey: API_KEY,
  apiSecret: API_SECRET,
  applicationId: APP_ID,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
}), options);

vonage.conversations.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)
```

### Standalone

The SDK can be used standalone from the main [Vonage Server SDK for Node.js](https://github.com/vonage/vonage-node-sdk)
if you only need to use the Conversations API. All you need to do
is `require('@vonage/conversations')`, and use the returned object to create your own
client.

```js
const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');
const { Conversations } = require('@vonage/conversations');

const conversationsClient = new Conversations(new Auth({
  apiKey: API_KEY,
  apiSecret: API_SECRET,
  applicationId: APP_ID,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
}), options);

conversationsClient.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)
```

## Promises

Most methods that interact with the Vonage API uses Promises. You can either resolve these yourself, or use `await` to
wait for a response.

```js
const resp = await conversationsClient.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)

conversationsClient.getConversation(CONVERSATION_ID)
  .then(resp => console.log(resp))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
```

## Testing

Run:

```bash
npm run test
```
