node-webrtc-examples

This project presents a few example applications using node-webrtc.

Usage

Install the project's dependencies and run the tests before starting the application server:

npm install
npm test
npm start

Then, navigate to http://localhost:3000.

Architecture

Each example application under examples/ has a Client and Server component. RTCPeerConnection negotiation is supported via a REST API (described below), and is abstracted away from each example application. Code for RTCPeerConnection negotiation lives under lib/.

RTCPeerConnection Negotiation

RTCPeerConnections are negotiated via REST API. The Server always offers (with host candidates) and the Client always answers. In order to negotiate a new RTCPeerConnection, the Client first POSTs to /connections. The Server responds with an RTCPeerConnection ID and SDP offer. Finally, the Client POSTs an SDP answer to the RTCPeerConnection's URL.

RTCPeerConnection Teardown

RTCPeerConnections can be proactively torn down by sending a DELETE to the RTCPeerConnection's URL; otherwise, ICE disconnection or failure, if unresolved within the timeToReconnect window, will also trigger teardown. The default timeToReconnect value is 10 s.
