Readme
A tiny browser module that gives us a simple API for getting access to a user's screen.
It gives us a cleaner node.js-style, error-first API and cross-browser handling. No browser support checking necessary; lack of support is treated in the same way as when the user rejects the request: the callback gets passed an error as the first argument.
Suitable for use with browserify/CommonJS on the client.
npm install getscreenmedia
First build and install a domain-specific extension for Chrome. Firefox and Microsoft Edge will work out of the box.
Use the snippet below to get a screen stream, similar to getUserMedia.
var getScreenMedia = require('getscreenmedia');
getScreenMedia(function (err, stream) {
// if the browser doesn't support user media
// or the user says "no" the error gets passed
// as the first argument.
if (err) {
console.log('failed');
} else {
console.log('got a stream', stream);
}
});
All supported browsers require the use of an extension and don't offer an cross-browser API which is annoying and error-prone. Node-style (error-first) APIs that are cross-browser, installable with npm and runnable on the client === win!
Error handling (denied requests, etc) are handled mostly by the underlying getUserMedia lib. However this adds one more error type:
"HTTPS_REQUIRED"
Because that's a current requirement of Chrome.
See the handling errors section of the getUserMedia lib for details about how errors are handled.
MIT The Firefox sample extension is licensed under MPL 2.0
