Highlights from the 2024 Rails Community Survey
A record 2,709 developers participated in the 2024 Ruby on Rails Community Survey, revealing key tools, practices, and trends shaping the Rails ecosystem.
webrtc-adapter
Advanced tools
The webrtc-adapter npm package is a shim to insulate apps from spec changes and prefix differences in WebRTC APIs. It helps developers write code that works across different browsers by providing a consistent API.
Browser Compatibility
The webrtc-adapter package helps ensure that WebRTC code is compatible across different browsers by normalizing the API differences. This code sample demonstrates how to use the adapter to get browser details.
const adapter = require('webrtc-adapter');
console.log(adapter.browserDetails.browser); // Outputs the browser name
console.log(adapter.browserDetails.version); // Outputs the browser version
Unified API
The webrtc-adapter package provides a unified API for accessing media devices, making it easier to write cross-browser WebRTC applications. This code sample shows how to use the adapter to access the user's media devices.
const adapter = require('webrtc-adapter');
const getUserMedia = navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia || navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia;
getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true })
.then(stream => {
console.log('Got MediaStream:', stream);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error accessing media devices.', error);
});
Peer Connection
The webrtc-adapter package helps manage peer connections by normalizing the API across different browsers. This code sample demonstrates how to create a peer connection and handle ICE candidates.
const adapter = require('webrtc-adapter');
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
pc.onicecandidate = event => {
if (event.candidate) {
console.log('New ICE candidate:', event.candidate);
}
};
pc.createOffer()
.then(offer => pc.setLocalDescription(offer))
.then(() => console.log('Offer created and set as local description'))
.catch(error => console.error('Error creating offer:', error));
The simple-peer package is a lightweight wrapper around the WebRTC API that simplifies peer-to-peer data, video, and audio connections. Unlike webrtc-adapter, which focuses on normalizing the WebRTC API across browsers, simple-peer provides a higher-level abstraction for creating and managing peer connections.
The peerjs package is a library that simplifies WebRTC peer-to-peer data, video, and audio connections. It provides a server component for managing peer connections, which is different from webrtc-adapter's focus on API normalization. PeerJS is more focused on providing an easy-to-use API for creating peer connections.
The rtcpeerconnection package is a simple wrapper around the RTCPeerConnection API, providing a more straightforward interface for creating and managing WebRTC connections. Unlike webrtc-adapter, which aims to normalize the WebRTC API across different browsers, rtcpeerconnection focuses on simplifying the use of the RTCPeerConnection API.
