ngx-webrtc-lib

ngx-webrtc-lib

Angular microapp/library for Agora WebRTC client from Agora.io using agora-rtc-sdk-ng.

This library was generated with Angular CLI version 12.2.0.

Prerequisites

To get started with Agora, follow this guide to retrieve the AppID.

Installation

Install ngx-webrtc-lib from npm:

npm install ngx-webrtc-lib --save

Standalone Component support

To use the library in standalone mode, follow these steps:

Provide WebRtc configuration in app.configs.ts file

import { provideWebRtc } from 'ngx-webrtc-lib';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideWebRtc({
      AppID: 'Agora AppID',
    }),
    // Other providers
  ],
};

Import WebRtcComponent into the host component's imports:

import { WebRtcComponent } from 'ngx-webrtc-lib';

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [
    WebRtcComponent,
  ],
  ...
})
export class HostComponent {
  // Host component logic
}

NgModule support

To use the library with NgModules, import WebRtcModule into your module's imports:

import { WebRtcModule } from 'ngx-webrtc-lib';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    WebRtcModule.forRoot({
      AppID: 'Agora AppID',
    }),
  ]
  ...
})

Basic usage

Add WebRtcComponent to your component template:

<ngx-webrtc
  [channel]="channel"
  [displaySmallScreen]="true"
  [debug]="true"
  [uid]="uid"
  [token]="token"
  (callEnd)="onCallEnd()"
></ngx-webrtc>

Advanced usage

The library allows you to display a video call confirmation dialog. To use the dialog service:

1. Inject VideoCallDialogService into your component or service.
2. Call the open method with the required data.

This returns VideoCallDialog object with an API that allows you to:

• Programmatically close the dialog
• Accept the call, which will open WebRtcComponent
• Subscribe to the dialog state

import { VideoCallDialogService, VideoCallDialogData } from 'ngx-webrtc-lib';

constructor(private dialogService: VideoCallDialogService) { }

onDialogOpen(): void {
  const dialog = this.dialogService.open({
    uid: this.uid,
    token: this.token,
    channel: this.channelId,
    outcome: this.outcome,
    user: this.user,
  });

  setTimeout(() => dialog.close(), 7000);
  dialog.afterConfirmation().subscribe((data: VideoCallDialogData) => console.log(data));
}

Import assets in your angular.json file

"assets": [
  {
    "glob": "**/*",
    "input": "./node_modules/ngx-webrtc-lib/src/assets/",
    "output": "./assets/"
  }
],

For real-life video call confirmation behavior with multiple clients, where one client declines the call, and the result immediately reflects on the other clients, you need to implement your own custom solution. This is an example of the implementation using web-sockets.
