The company directory

Most companies have some form of dial-by-name directory. This recipe will show you how to add a company directory to your FreeSWITCH installation using mod_directory.

How to do it...

Enable and build mod_directory by following these steps:

Open modules.conf in your FreeSWITCH source directory.
Uncomment this line:
```
#applications/mod_directory
```
Save the file and exit.
Linux/Unix users have to issue the proper make command:
```
make mod_directory-install
```

Allow mod_directory to be loaded when FreeSWITCH starts:

Open conf/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml in a text editor.
Uncomment this line:
```

```
Save the file and exit.
Restart FreeSWITCH.
Start fs_cli and issue the command show application.

You should see an application named directory in the list. Next, we need to add a simple dialplan extension that will let us test:

Open conf/dialplan/default/01_Custom.xml in a text editor.

Add these lines:

<include>
  <extension name="dial by name"...
