How to use Twilio.Device to call a number

How to call to a phone number using Twilio.Device?

I am doing the click to call feature for my widget. I am able to get the Capability token required in setting up the Twilio.Device. I am able also to connect the Twilio.Device to twilio by setup function provided in client javascript library.

What can I use to call a number using Twilio.Device?

Its been a while since I played with it, but looking back at the code then once you have the token and are connected to Twilio it's just a case of setting the number you want to call and then initiating the call. Something like this:

      document.getElementById('button-call').onclick = function () {
        // get the phone number to connect the call to
        var params = {
          Caller: document.getElementById('phone-number').value
        };

        console.log('Calling ' + params.Caller + '...');
        Twilio.Device.connect(params);

  };

You have to make sure your token allows outgoing calls. My token.php file contains the following:

$capability = new ClientToken($TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, $TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN, 'ttl=20');
$capability->allowClientOutgoing($TWILIO_TWIML_APP_SID);
$token = $capability->generateToken();

I think this is all fairly standard stuff from the quickstart files. I only had a quick go with it, but I don't remember it being complicated. Have fun!
