TwimlTemplate

TwiML templates for Tilt.

An easy way to work with TwiML for responding to Twilio webhooks in Rails or Sinatra applications using template files.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'twiml_template'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install twiml_template

By including the twiml_template gem in your Rails project Gemfile you will be able to write TwiML templates easily.

Create a controller, like below:

class VoiceController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @name = "World"
  end
end

Add a route:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  get 'voice' => 'voice#index'

  # Other routes...
end

And then add your TwiML view:

  twiml.Say "Hello #{@name}"

Save the file as #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/voice/index.twiml.

Run the app using rails s and visit http://localhost:3000/voice and you will see:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
  <Say>Hello World!</Say>
</Response>

Create your application file like below:

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/twiml'

helpers Sinatra::TwiML

get '/voice' do
  @name = "World!"
  twiml :voice
end

And then add your TwiML view:

  twiml.Say "Hello #{@name}"

Save the file as #{APP_ROOT}/views/voice.twiml.

Start the app with ruby app.rb and visit http://localhost:4567/voice and you will see:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
  <Say>Hello World!</Say>
</Response>
