Vapi is the Voice AI platform for developers.

Vapi AI

This is the method we are using start the connect and stop the connection:


useEffect(() => {
    try {
      vapiRef.current = new Vapi('api-key');
      vapiRef.current.on('message', (message) => {
       
      });

      vapiRef.current.on('speech-start', () => {
      });

      vapiRef.current.on('speech-end', () => {
        // setGhostVolume(0);
      });

      vapiRef.current.on('call-start', () => {
       
      });

      vapiRef.current.on('call-end', () => {
        
      });

      vapiRef.current.on('volume-level', (volume) => {});

      vapiRef.current.on('error', (e) => {
        console.error(e);
      });
    } catch (e) {
      console.log('error when mounting vapi', e.message);
    }
  }, []);


const handleStartVapi = () => {
  try {
    vapiRef.current.start(vapiConfig);
  }
  catch(e) {
    console.error(e)
  }
}

const handleStopVapi = () => {
  try {
    vapiRef.current.stop()
  }
  catch(e) {
    console.error(e)
  }
}

It looks like you've implemented a solid structure for managing the lifecycle of your Vapi connection within a React component using the `useEffect` hook for setup and cleanup, and separate handlers for starting and stopping the Vapi connection. 

Your `useEffect` hook is set up to initialize the Vapi instance and define various event handlers for different events such as `message`, `speech-start`, `speech-end`, `call-start`, `call-end`, `volume-level`, and `error`. This is a good practice as it helps you manage the state and behavior of your application in response to these events.

The `handleStartVapi` and `handleStopVapi` functions are straightforward and are designed to start and stop the Vapi connection, respectively. It's good that you've included try-catch blocks to handle any potential errors that might occur during these operations.

If you have any specific questions or need further assistance with your Vapi implementation, feel free to ask!

Got it. Tagging <@&1231325148079194222> for additional help.

<@&1231325148079194222> The connection is still on, in background stop doesn't work

Looks like you guys have quite a lot of questions. How about we schedule a 15-minute call and address those issues?
