WebRTC Conductor

A lightweight ES6 module to allow for efficient and simple management, creation, reuse and destruction of WebRTC DataChannels - independent of the signalling channel used for negotiation.

Presently, the module is extremely unstable and is functional up to the point where I can use it with a small amount of difficulty in my projects. Over time, I will fix and extend this module as needed.

Overview

One of the main goals of this library is to decouple the signalling channel used to initialise WebRTC connections from the management library itself - a move that I'm surprised no other library appears to have taken.

To connect to another peer:

//Assuming the existence of a channel implementation, FooChannel(webSocketAddr){...}
var Conductor = require("webrtc-conductor");

var myConductor = Conductor.create({
  channel: new FooChannel("ws://somesite.com:9999")
});

myConductor.onconnection = /* Function handling connections made to this system. */;
 
myConductor.connectTo(/* String containing your partner's id. */)
  .then(
    result => {
      //Code handling the connection.
    }, reason => {
      //Code handling a failed connection attempt.
    }
  );
