Advanced Call Forwarding with Java, Spark, and Twilio

Learn how to use Twilio to forward a series of phone calls to your state senators.

Local Development

This project is built using the Spark web framework.

To run the app locally, follow these steps:

Clone this repository and cd into it.

git clone git@github.com:TwilioDevEd/call-forwarding-spark.git
cd call-forwarding-spark

Copy the sample configuration file and edit it to match your database configuration.
```
cp .env.example .env
```
Create application database: Make sure you have installed PostgreSQL. If on a Mac, I recommend Postgres.app.
```
createdb call_forwarding
```
Execute the migrations.
```
./gradlew flywayMigrate
```
Expose your application to the internet using ngrok. In a separate terminal session, start ngrok with:
```
ngrok http 9292
```
Once you have started ngrok, update your TwiML application's voice URL setting to use your ngrok hostname. It will look something like this in your Twilio console:
```
https://d06f533b.ngrok.io/callcongress/welcome
```
Start your development server:
```
./gradlew run
```
Once ngrok is running, open up your browser and go to your ngrok URL.

./gradlew test
