NodeJS
In order to use Node.js with the IPCortex API, it is necessary to wrap the API file from the IPCortex Communication System (CS) to correctly contain the API code in a Node context.
Because each version of the IPCortex CS may come with an updated version of the API library, it is necessary to embed the current copy of api.js into the node application, and to keep it up to date if the IPCortex CS is updated (see below for details).
Installation
To install, simply run:
npm install ipcortex/node-api
However to use this module you will need to download api.js from the IPCortex CS you are trying to connect to. A script is included (updateAPI.js) to handle this for you - just provide the HTTP host for it download it from. Otherwise, download the file from
http://pabx.hostname/api/api.js and place it in lib/api.js - where
pabx.hostname is the relevant IPCortex CS's hostname.
After that, you should be ready to include it in your project.
More information is found in the
README.
