## 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 Video API.

### With NPM

```bash
npm install @vonage/video
```

### With Yarn

```bash
yarn add @vonage/video
```

## Usage

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

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

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

const session = await vonage.video.createSession();
```

### 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 Video API. All you need to do is `require('@vonage/video')`, and use the returned object to create your own client.

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

const credentials = new Auth({
  applicationId: APP_ID,
  privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
});
const options = {};
const videoClient = new Video(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

This SDK uses Promises to return data.

```js
const session = await videoClient.createSession();
```

## Testing

Run:

```bash
npm test
```
