SaltyRTC WebRTC Task for JavaScript

This is a SaltyRTC WebRTC task implementation for JavaScript, written in TypeScript.

The development is still ongoing, the current version is only at alpha-level and should not be used for production yet.

Installing

Via npm

You can install this library via npm:

npm install --save saltyrtc-task-webrtc saltyrtc-client

Usage

When creating the task instance, you can specify whether or not a handover to a secure data channel is desired.

let task = new WebRTCTask(true);

You can also specify the max DataChannel chunk size:

let task = new WebRTCTask(true, 65536);

If you don't specify any values, handover defaults to true and the chunk size defaults to 16384.

To send offers, answers and candidates, use the following task methods:

• .sendOffer(offer: RTCSessionDescriptionInit): void
• .sendAnswer(answer: RTCSessionDescriptionInit): void
• .sendCandidate(candidate: RTCIceCandidateInit): void
• .sendCandidates(candidates: RTCIceCandidateInit[]): void

The handover can be initiated using the handover method:

let started = task.handover(peerConnection);

You can register and deregister event handlers with the on, once and off methods:

task.on('candidates', (e) => {
    for (let candidateInit of e.data) {
        pc.addIceCandidate(candidateInit);
    }
});

The following events are available:

• offer(saltyrtc.tasks.webrtc.Offer): An offer message was received.
• answer(saltyrtc.tasks.webrtc.Answer): An answer message was received.
• candidates(saltyrtc.tasks.webrtc.Candidates): A candidates message was received.

To know when the handover is finished, please subscribe to the handover event on the client directly.
