Usage

Example Component (Data Channels only)

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { LioWebRTC } from 'react-liowebrtc'
import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
 
class Example extends Component {
 
  handlePeerData = (webrtc, type, payload, peer) => {
    if (type === 'event-label') {
      console.log(payload);
    }
  }
 
  render () {
    return (
      <LioWebRTC
        options={{ dataOnly: true }}
        onReady={this.joinRoom}
        onCreatedPeer={this.handleCreatedPeer}
        onReceivedPeerData={this.handlePeerData}
        onRemovedPeer={this.handlePeerLeft}
      >
        <MyComponent />
      </LioWebRTC>
    )
  }
}

MyComponent

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withWebRTC } from 'react-liowebrtc';
 
class MyComponent extends Component {
 
  handleClick = () => this.props.webrtc.shout('event-label', 'payload');
 
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={this.handleClick}>
          Click Me
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
 
export default withWebRTC(MyComponent);

Video Chat Example

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { LioWebRTC, LocalVideo, RemoteVideo } from 'react-liowebrtc'
 
class ExampleVideoChat extends Component {
 
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      peers: []
    };
  }
 
  join = (webrtc) => webrtc.joinRoom('video-chat-room-arbitrary-name');
 
  handleCreatedPeer = (webrtc, peer) => {
    this.setState({ peers: [...this.state.peers, peer] });
  }
 
  handleRemovedPeer = () => {
    this.setState({ peers: this.state.peers.filter(p => !p.closed) });
  }
 
  generateRemotes = () => this.state.peers.map((peer) => (
    <RemoteVideo key={`remote-video-${peer.id}`} peer={peer} />
  ));
 
  render () {
    return (
      <LioWebRTC
        options={{ debug: true }}
        onReady={this.join}
        onCreatedPeer={this.handleCreatedPeer}
        onRemovedPeer={this.handleRemovedPeer}
      >
        <LocalVideo />
        {
          this.state.peers &&
          this.generateRemotes()
        }
      </LioWebRTC>
    )
  }
}
 
export default ExampleVideoChat;

Component Props

LioWebRTC Component

LioWebRTC.propTypes = {
  options: PropTypes.object, // Initializing options passed into the liowebrtc library
  onReady: PropTypes.func, // Event listeners
  onJoinedRoom: PropTypes.func, // When we successfully join a room
  onReceivedPeerData: PropTypes.func, // When we receive a shout or whisper from a peer
  onChannelOpen: PropTypes.func, // When a new data channel is established with a peer
  onConnectionReady: PropTypes.func, // When the signaling connection is ready
  onCreatedPeer: PropTypes.func, // When a new peer connects
  onPeerStreamAdded: PropTypes.func, // When a peer media stream is added
  onPeerStreamRemoved: PropTypes.func, // When a peer media stream is removed
  onIceConnectionStateChange: PropTypes.func, // When the connection state with a peer changes
  onSignalingStateChange: PropTypes.func, // When the connection to the signaling server changes
  onLeftRoom: PropTypes.func, // When exited the room
  onPeerMute: PropTypes.func, // When a peer mutes themselves
  onReceivedSignalData: PropTypes.func, // When we get a message via the signaling server from a peer
  onPeerUnmute: PropTypes.func, // When a peer unmutes themselves
  onRemovedPeer: PropTypes.func, // When a peer disconnects from us
  onConnectionError: PropTypes.func // When an error occurs in connecting to a peer
};

All event emitters pass a webrtc session manager object to the listener functions. For example, the onReceivedPeerData event passes the following objects: (webrtc, type, data, peer). The onCreatedPeer event passes (webrtc, peer). Take a look at the LioWebRTC docs for more information on LioWebRTC's events and methods. All events emitted by LioWebRTC will have a preceding webrtc object when using react-liowebrtc.

LocalVideo Component

LocalVideo.propTypes = {
  videoProps: PropTypes.object, // props passed to the inner video element
};

RemoteVideo Component

RemoteVideo.propTypes = {
  videoProps: PropTypes.object, // props passed to the inner video element
  peer: PropTypes.instanceOf(Peer) // the Peer instance
};

These props are needed to initialize and set event listeners for the liowebrtc library. Take a look at the liowebrtc docs for more info.
