As a FYI, there wasn't a body parser loaded in this example, so when I went to test my changes (even with the right Content-Type header), the custom request fields weren't being loaded since req.body was not being set. This should fix that!


app.post('/createToken', async (req, res) => {
const { roomName = 'demo-room', participantName = 'demo-user' } = req.body ?? {};
res.send(await createToken({ roomName, participantName }));
const body = req.body ?? {};
body.roomName = body.roomName ?? `room-${crypto.randomUUID()}`;
body.participantName = body.participantName ?? `user-${crypto.randomUUID()}`;

try {
res.send({
server_url: process.env.LIVEKIT_URL,
participant_token: await createToken(body),
});
} catch (err) {
console.error('Error generating token:', err);
res.status(500).send({ message: 'Generating token failed' });
}
});
