A Leaner, Cleaner JavaScript API for the Janus WebRTC Gateway

npm install @ndarilek/janus

Works on the server via Node, in the browser via any WebRTC library (WebRTC Adapter known to work for sure) and, hopefully, React Native.

A Note About Fetch

This module expects a fetch implementation to be present in global scope. Unfortunately, providing this automatically is somewhat error-prone because React Native seems to throw a fit if this module tries to set up isomorphic-fetch. The best way to do this is to depend on isomorphic-fetch in consuming modules, and:

import "isomorphic-fetch"

in consuming code to set things up correctly. In React Native this isn't necessary and shouldn't be done since fetch is already set up.

Example

Here is an example of part of the code I use to set up a WebRTC session with Janus in the browser. This is from a React component, with various event-handlers passed in from its container component, and using Toastr for alerts:

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({audio: true, video: {facingMode: "environment"}})
.then((stream) => {
  console.log("Got stream", stream.getAudioTracks())
  console.log("Attaching", this.refs.localVideo)
  this.refs.localVideo.srcObject = stream
  pc.addStream(stream)
  const session = new Session(this.props.janusEndpoint)
  if(this.props.onSessionCreated)
    this.props.onSessionCreated(session)
  this.setState({session})
  session.on("connected", () => {
    session.attach(this.props.plugin)
    .then((handle) => {
      this.setState({handle})
      if(this.props.onHandleReceived)
        this.props.onHandleReceived(handle)
      pc.createOffer()
      .then(gotOffer)
      handle.on("event", (data) => {
        if(this.props.onHandleEvent)
          this.props.onHandleEvent(data)
        if(data.jsep) {
          pc.setRemoteDescription(new RTCSessionDescription(data.jsep))
        }
      })
    })
  })
  session.on("webrtcup", () => {
    toastr.success("Connected")
    if(this.props.onWebRTCUp)
      this.props.onWebRTCUp()
  })
  session.on("media", (data) => {
    if(this.props.onMediaStateChanged)
      this.props.onMediaStateChanged(data)
  })
  session.on("hangup", () => {
    toastr.success("Disconnected")
    if(this.props.onHangup)
      this.props.onHangup()
  })
  session.on("destroyed", () => {
    toastr.success("Disconnected")
    if(this.props.onHangup)
      this.props.onHangup()
  })
})

API

Session

Session represents the entrypoint into the Janus API. In addition to creating new plugin Handle instances, Session also long-polls the Janus API for new events.

Methods

Events

Handle

A Handle is obtained by attaching to a plugin from a Session. It supports directly messaging plugins, in addition to receiving plugin-specific events.
