In newest version you can define installation configuration in package.json (or .npmrc, while package.json has a higher priority), usually you can just provide "prebuilt", and "arch".

// package.json
{
  ...
  "agora_electron": {
    "prebuilt": true,
    "arch": "x64"
  }
  ...
}


// .npmrc
agora_electron_sdk_pre_built=true // defalut value is true
agora_electron_sdk_arch=x64 // only support windows:

Properties detail:

  • prebuilt whether to automatically download prebuilt NodeJS C++ Addon or build locally(which need to provide development env)
  • arch: If not set, the script will automatically choose the arch. only support windows
  • platform darwin or win32
## Automatic platform and architecture selection
npm install agora-electron-sdk

or

## or select 32 bit architecture on Windows
npm install --agora_electron_sdk_arch=ia32

## or select 64 bit architecture on Windows
npm install --agora_electron_sdk_arch=x64

🔨 Usage

import createAgoraRtcEngine from "agora-electron-sdk";

const rtcEngine = createAgoraRtcEngine();
rtcEngine.initialize({appId: "<your agora app id>"});

When using without electron-webpack

When using directly within a web electron project with custom webpack configuration, you may see errors when compiling. It's because you have not properly configured loader for node addon. A convenient way to skip the compile process is to set externals property of your webpack config to {"agora-electron-sdk": "commonjs2 agora-electron-sdk"}
