In this project I demonstrate how to setup a WebRTC connection between two browers.
In order to make this work you also need a signal server, e.g. the one I've made here: https://github.com/sce/local-signal .
$ npm install
$ npm run devstart
devstart will restart the server when you change any files, so you just need
to refresh the browser to see the effect.
WebRTC requires a medium (a signal channel) where clients can exchange information (e.g. about how they can setup a connection between each other) before a WebRTC connection can be made.
I've written a proof-of-concept signal server in Ruby that can be used with this demo.
$ git clone https://github.com/sce/local-signal.git
$ cd local-signal
# Follow setup procedures in that project, but it's probably just:
$ bundle
$ ./local-signal.rb
Go to http://localhost:3000/client in one tab and
http://localhost:3000/server in another and watch the magic unfold (maybe).

The code is just a demo / proof of concept and is quite buggy as of writing. Specifically you need to refresh the server and/or client a couple of times before they actually connect.
