## Installation

We recommend using this SDK as part of the overall [`@vonage/server-sdk` package](https://github.com/vonage/vonage-node-sdk). Please see the main package for installation.

You can also use this SDK standalone if you only need access to just the Applications API.

### With NPM

```bash
npm install @vonage/applications
```

### With Yarn

```bash
yarn add @vonage/applications
```

## Usage 

### As part of the Vonage Server SDK

If you are using this SDK as part of the Vonage Server SDK, you can access it
as the `applications` property off of the client that you instantiate.

```js
const { Vonage } = require('@vonage/server-sdk');

const vonage = new Vonage({
    apiKey: API_KEY,
    apiSecret: API_SECRET,
  }, options);

const balance = await vonage.applications.listApplications();
```

### Standalone

The SDK can be used standalone from the main [Vonage Server SDK for Node.js](https://github.com/vonage/vonage-node-sdk) if you only need to use the Applications API. All you need to do is `require('@vonage/applications')`, and use the returned object to create your own client.

```js
const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');
const { Applications } = require('@vonage/applications');

const credentials = new Auth({
    apiKey: API_KEY,
    apiSecret: API_SECRET,
});
const options = { timeout: 1500 };

const applicationsClient = new Applications(credentials, options);
```

Where `credentials` is any option from [`@vonage/auth`](https://github.com/Vonage/vonage-node-sdk/blob/3.x/packages/auth/README.md#options), and `options` is any option from [`@vonage/server-client`](https://github.com/Vonage/vonage-node-sdk/blob/3.x/packages/server-client/README.md#options)

## Promises

Most methods that interact with the Vonage API use Promises. You can either resolve these yourself or use `await` to wait for a response.

```js
const applications = await applicationsClient.listApplications();

applicationsClient.listApplications()
  .then(resp => console.log(resp))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
```

## Testing

Run:

```bash
npm run test
```
