alohasdk.js

alohasdk.js is a client library for viewing AlohaRTC video streams directly in the browser. See the Documentation for details.

Getting started

alohasdk.js is distributed as an NPM module. Add it to your project with:

npm install --save @lanikai/alohasdk.js

In your JavaScript code, import the module and invoke the Connect function:

import * as alohasdk from '@lanikai/alohasdk.js';

...

let pc = alohasdk.Connect({
    deviceId: 'some-device-id',
    authToken: 'some-auth-token',
    remoteVideo: someVideoElement,
});

This returns a RTCPeerConnection object in the connecting state. If the connection succeeds, the device's video stream will start playing in the provided <video> element.

Note: The source code uses ES6 module syntax, which (as of 2019) is supported natively in most mainstream browsers. If you need to support older browser versions, you can use Babel to transpile to older syntax.

Example

The example.html file contains a simple standalone example, where you paste in the device ID that you want to connect to. Just run npm install followed by

npm run example

from your terminal to try it out.
