This package lets you start Vapi calls directly in your webapp.
npm install voice-ai-webThis package lets you start Vapi calls directly in your webapp.
You can install the package via npm:
``bash`
npm install @vapi-ai/web
First, import the Vapi class from the package:
`javascript`
import Vapi from '@vapi-ai/web';
Then, create a new instance of the Vapi class, passing your Public Key as a parameter to the constructor:
`javascript`
const vapi = new Vapi('your-public-key');
You can start a new call by calling the start method and passing an assistant object or assistantId:
`javascript`
vapi.start({
model: {
provider: "openai",
model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
messages: [
{
role: "system",
content: "You are an assistant.",
},
],
},
voice: {
provider: "11labs",
voiceId: "burt",
},
...
});
`javascript`
vapi.start('your-assistant-id');
The start method will initiate a new call.
You can override existing assistant parameters or set variables with the assistant_overrides parameter.Hey, {{name}} how are you?
Assume the first message is and you want to set the value of name to John:
`javascript
const assistantOverrides = {
recordingEnabled: false,
variableValues: {
name: 'John',
},
};
vapi.start(
'your-assistant-id',
assistantOverrides,
);
`
You can send text messages to the assistant aside from the audio input using the send method and passing appropriate role and content.
`javascript`
vapi.send({
type: 'add-message',
message: {
role: 'system',
content: 'The user has pressed the button, say peanuts',
},
});
Possible values for the role are system, user, assistant, tool or function.
You can stop the session by calling the stop method:
`javascript`
vapi.stop();
This will stop the recording and close the connection.
The setMuted(muted: boolean) can be used to mute and un-mute the user's microphone.
`javascript`
vapi.isMuted(); // false
vapi.setMuted(true);
vapi.isMuted(); // true
The say(message: string, endCallAfterSpoken?: boolean) can be used to invoke speech and gracefully terminate the call if needed
`javascript`
vapi.say("Our time's up, goodbye!", true)
You can listen to the following events:
`javascript
vapi.on('speech-start', () => {
console.log('Speech has started');
});
vapi.on('speech-end', () => {
console.log('Speech has ended');
});
vapi.on('call-start', () => {
console.log('Call has started');
});
vapi.on('call-end', () => {
console.log('Call has stopped');
});
vapi.on('volume-level', (volume) => {
console.log(Assistant volume level: ${volume});
});
// Function calls and transcripts will be sent via messages
vapi.on('message', (message) => {
console.log(message);
});
vapi.on('error', (e) => {
console.error(e);
});
`
These events allow you to react to changes in the state of the call or speech.
