Creating a user consent application using the Node SDK

Set up your Node.js application

Creating the project

To create the project:

1. Navigate to the folder in which you'd like to store your project.
2. Create a folder called sinch-user-consent.
3. Create the following directory structure:
   Copy

   Copied

     sinch-user-consent
       index.js

4. Run the command:
   Copy

   Copied

   npm init

   This command adds the node_modules folder and the package.json file. You will be prompted to provide values for the fields. For this tutorial, you can simply accept the default values and press enter at each stage.

Installing the SDK

You can install the Sinch Node.js SDK using either npm or Yarn:

npm install @sinch/sdk-core

yarn add @sinch/sdk-core

Fastify

Fastify is a lightweight webserver that we will use to respond to webhooks. Install Fastify with the command:

npm install fastify

Installing ngrok

If you successfully completed the Receive an SMS Message guide, you'll have used ngrok to set up a tunnel to your local server. Install ngrok with the command:

npm install ngrok -g

If you haven't already, set up a free account with ngrok. Now we've installed everything we need, we can start creating the application.

Collecting information to initialize the client

On the next page, you'll need to intialize the SDK.

Before initializing a client using this SDK, you'll need three pieces of information:

• Your Project ID
• An access key ID
• An access key Secret
