fake-mediastreamtrack

Fake W3C MediaStreamTrack implementation. Suitable for for Node.js or testing.

This library is intended for Node.js applications or libraries that depend on the MediaStreamTrack class. The exposed FakeMediaStreamTrack class does not internally manage any audio/video source.

This library provides TypeScript definitions and the FakeMediaStreamTrack extendes the MediaStreamTrack interface, so it can be safely used in any code requiring a MediaStreamTrack object.

Install

$ npm install fake-mediastreamtrack

Usage

const { FakeMediaStreamTrack } = require('fake-mediastreamtrack');
// or
import { FakeMediaStreamTrack } from 'fake-mediastreamtrack';

const track = new FakeMediaStreamTrack({ kind: 'audio' });

track.enabled = false;

console.log(
  'track.readyState: %s, track.enabled: %s', track.readyState, track.enabled
);
// => 'track.readyState: live, track.enabled: false'

const clonedTrack = track.clone();

track.stop();

console.log('track.readyState: %s', track.readyState);
// => 'track.readyState: ended'

console.log('clonedTrack.readyState: %s', clonedTrack.readyState);
// => 'clonedTrack.readyState: live'

clonedTrack.applyConstraints({ frameRate: { max: 30, ideal: 20 } });

console.log('clonedTrack.getConstraints(): %o', clonedTrack.getConstraints());
// => clonedTrack.getConstraints(): { frameRate: { max: 30, ideal: 20 } }

API additions

Constructor

The FakeMediaStreamTrack class constructor accepts an object with the following fields.

const track = new FakeMediaStreamTrack({ kind, id, label, isolated, muted, data })

• kind (string, mandatory): "audio" or "video".
• id (string, optional): Track unique identificator. If not given, a random one is generated.
• label (string, optional): Track label. Defaults to empty string.
• isolated (boolean, optional): See the spec. Defaults to false.
• muted (boolean, optional): Whether this track belongs to a muted source. Defaults to false.
• data (object, options): An object with custom application data.

Custom setters and getters

• track.data getter returns custom application data object. The app can write into it at any time.
• track.enabled = flag setter fires a proprietary "@enabledchange" event if the enabled property changed.

Custom methods and additions

• track.stop() will fire a proprietary "@stop" event if not already stopped.
• track.remoteStop() emulates a stop generated remotely. It will fired a proprietary "@stop" event and "ended" event if not already stopped.
• track.remoteMute() emulates a mute generated remotely. It will fired "mute" event if not already muted.
• track.remoteUnmute() emulates a unmute generated remotely. It will fired "unmute" event if not already unmuted.

const { FakeMediaStreamTrack } = require('fake-mediastreamtrack');
const track = new FakeMediaStreamTrack({ kind: 'video' });

track.onended = () => console.log('track ended (1)');
track.addEventListener('ended', () => console.log('track ended (2)'));

track.addEventListener('@enabledchange', () => {
  console.log('track enabled changed:', track.enabled);
});

track.enabled = false;
track.enabled = false;
track.enabled = true;
track.remoteStop();

// => track enabled changed: false
// => track enabled changed: true
// => track ended (1)
// => track ended (2)

Limitations

Some W3C MediaStreamTrack properties and methods are not implemented:

• track.getCapabilities()
• track.getSettings()
• track.onisolationchange
• track.onoverconstrained
