Set up

Requirements

Twilio Account Settings

This application should give you a ready-made starting point for writing your own appointment reminder application. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:

Config Value Description
Account Sid Your primary Twilio account identifier - find this in the Console.
Auth Token Used to authenticate - just like the above, you'll find this here.
Verification Sid For Verification Service SID. You can generate one here

Local development

After the above requirements have been met:

  1. Clone this repository and cd into it

    git clone git@github.com:TwilioDevEd/verify-v2-quickstart-java.git
    cd verify-v2-quickstart-java
  2. Set your environment variables

    cp .env.example .env

    See Twilio Account Settings to locate the necessary environment variables.

  3. Build the project

    make install

    NOTE: Running the build task will also run the tests

  4. Run the application

    make serve

    NOTE: If you are using a dedicated Java IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ, you can start the application within the IDE and it will start in development mode, which means any changes on a source file will be automatically reloaded.

  5. Navigate to http://localhost:8080

That's it!

Docker

If you have Docker already installed on your machine, you can use our docker-compose.yml to setup your project.

  1. Make sure you have the project cloned.
  2. Setup the environmental variables in the docker-compose.yml file, see the Twilio Account Settings.
  3. Run docker-compose --env-file /dev/null up.

Tests

You can run the tests locally by typing:

mvn clean test

Please be aware that some of these might charge you for the usage or might make the source code for this application visible to the public. When in doubt research the respective hosting service first.
