Sync Helper Installation and Configuration

Using Sync Helper with Studio

Single Page Application

The source code for the single page application is writting in Vuejs 3 and it is in this repo. You are welcome to develop locally to customize or extend Sync Helper. Run npm run dev from the sync-helper/client-src/sync-helper/ directory to figure up a local dev server.

Run npm run build to build a new version of the SPA. The files get placed in the /assets directory and will get deployed when running twilio serverless:deploy from the root directory.

Local Development

If you want to extend the Sync Helper client source code, you can make changes in sync-helper/client-src/sync-helper/. Edit the file “sync-helper/client-src/sync-helper/.env.development” with the domain to your Twilio Serverless Service to be able to make http calls from your local machine. You can edit and deploy the Twilio Functions as needed.
