Twilio Client Sending custom call parameters from nodejs server to ios client - ios

Question

we're using a nodejs on the serverside, and then ios sdk (Version 3 w/support for custom parameters)
we need a way to be able to send custom parameters from our nodejs server into the client. In PHP i was able to figure it out by just sending it with the dial verb by doing
$dial->parameter(['name'=>'param','value'=>'value']);
but for nodejs i am not able to find a solution that fits with:
call = await client.api.calls.create({
url: url,
to: 'client:' + defaultIdentity,
from: callerId,
});

Twilio developer evangelist here.
You can absolutely generate TwiML with the Twilio Node.js library. To generate a <Dial> you need code like:
const VoiceResponse = require('twilio').twiml.VoiceResponse;
const response = new VoiceResponse();
const dial = response.dial({
callerId: '[phone]'
});
dial.number('[phone]');
console.log(response.toString());
Let me know if that helps at all.

Okay so, apparantly its the same way you would do it in php, except a bit different
function incoming() {
const voiceResponse = new VoiceResponse();
const dial = voiceResponse.dial({action:'http://21402340.ngrok.io/endCall'});
let client = dial.client({
statusCallback: 'completed',
statusCallback: 'http://21402340.ngrok.io/endCall',
statusCallbackMethod: 'POST'
},'alice');
client.parameter({name:'subscriber_name',value:'Richard abear'});
return voiceResponse.toString();
}
here is a sample function that sends a custom parameter subscriber_name to the client's customCallParameters
