Instructions for Twilio's Verify Build-a-thon. We are so happy to have you building with us. We will leverage this application to walk through replacing SMS OTP with Twilio Verify.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- Twilio Account: For creating a Verify Service
- Twilio Account Credentials: You will need these in order to use the application to send out OTP
- A very basic HTML/CSS/JS application which allows a user to input their phone number and verify an OTP sent to them using Twilio.
- twofactor.js and sms_original.js are the same
- sms_original.js is the version of the project we'll be starting with while working in twofactor.js.
- This file has the application setup to create and send an OTP over Twilio Programmable Messaging and to check the user input code within the application.
- verify_lookup_final.js is the version of the project we'll end with while working in twofactor.js.
- This file has the application setup to leverage Twilio Verify to send an OTP and to check the user input code through Verify as well.
If you installed git you can clone the code to your machine, or download a ZIP of all the files directly.
Download the ZIP from this location, or run the following git command to clone the files to your machine:
git clone https://github.com/sebiffle/verify-buildathon.git
- You will need to provide an Account SID and Auth Token to complete this build. Don't know where those are? Check out your API Credentials Here
- Once you've cloned the repository, open the application and create a .env file within the folder structure for your Account SID and Auth Token. Format:
- TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = "ACXXXXXXXX"
- TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = "XXXXXXXXXX"
- Then, open the twofactor.js file
- You can run this application through the following command: node twofactor.js
