easy signaling

What is this?

WebRTC Signaling with as few complexity as possible. It is compatible with rtc-lib. You can use the signaling server standalone or integrate it in your Node.js project.

Standalone

Install the package with

npm install -g easy-signaling

To use the signaling server in standalone mode simply run

easy-signaling

You can use the environment variables BIND_PORT (defaults to 8080) and BIND_HOST (defaults to 0.0.0.0) to configure the listening socket of the server. A websocket server will be listening on the specified port and provide signaling to clients.

Library

If you want to include the server in your project install add the dependency 'easy-signaling' to your package.json.

You can either use a Hotel to provide multiple rooms ...

var hotel = new require("easy-signaling").Hotel()
hotel.create_guest(connection, "room_name")

... or use Room if you need only one room ...

var room = new require("easy-signaling").Room()
room.create_guest(connection)

The connection object in the examples is a Channel implementing the connectino to the client. You can implement your own Channel or use WebsocketChannel which is a wrapper around WebSockets provided by the ws library.
