ivr-recording-laravel's Introduction

IVR Phone Tree: IVR, call screening and recording for beginners. powered by Twilio - Laravel

An example application implementing an automated phone line using Twilio and Laravel.

Run the application

Clone the repository and cd into it.
Install the application's dependencies with Composer
```
composer install
```
The application uses PostgreSQL as the persistence layer. If you don't have it already, you should install it. The easiest way is by using Postgres.app.
Create a database.
```
createdb ivr_recording
```
Copy the sample configuration file and edit it to match your configuration.
```
cp .env.example .env
```
You'll need to set DB_HOST, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD. You can often leave DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD empty. DB_HOST should be localhost if you're running the DB in your own machine.
Generate an APP_KEY:
```
php artisan key:generate
```
Run the migrations:
```
php artisan migrate
```
Load seed data:
```
php artisan db:seed
```
Run the application using Artisan.
```
php artisan serve
```
Expose the application to the wider Internet using ngrok
```
ngrok http 8000
```
Provision a number under the Manage Numbers page on your account. Set the voice URL for the number to http://<your-ngrok-subdomain>.ngrok.io/ivr/welcome.
Grab your phone and call your newly-provisioned number!

This application uses this Twilio helper library:

Configure a test database in .env.test.
Run the database migrations for the test database
```
APP_ENV=testing php artisan migrate
```
Run at the top-level directory:
```
phpunit --coverage-text
```

If your PHP installation doesn't have xdebug support then simply run the tests without coverage reporting:
