Fantasy Football Draft Room

Hey sports fans, welcome to my latest Node.js experiment. Check out the hosted version of the Twilio Fantasy Football Draft Room.

Features

• Node.js Express - Express 3.0 app configured to use Hogan.js templating
• Twilio Client - Twilio Client lets us easily spin-up conference rooms. Uses the twilio-client-token NPM module to generate the capability tokens.
• Twilio Security - Uses the twiliosig NPM module to validate that TwiML requests are coming from Twilio.
• Redis Storage - conference rooms codes are stored using Redis

Usage

This app contains a single endpoint /voice for Twilio to use in setting-up your conference room. The TwiML is defined in views\voice.hjs and is currently configured to support conference calls with a max of 14 participants and a max duration of 3 hours. You can easily edit this to your liking:
