Improve Your WebRTC Application with AdapterJS Comprehensive Guide

Introduction to AdapterJS

AdapterJS is a powerful library that ensures cross-browser WebRTC compatibility. It acts as a wrapper around the different WebRTC implementations offered by major browsers, unifying their APIs and behaviors.

Getting Started

To include AdapterJS in your project, you can use a CDN:

  
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Temasys/AdapterJS/adapter.min.js"></script>
  

Or you can install it via npm:

  
  npm install adapterjs
  

Example APIs

getUserMedia

This API allows you to access the user’s media devices like camera and microphone.

  
  navigator.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true }, function(stream) {
    document.querySelector('video').srcObject = stream;
  }, function(error) {
    console.error('getUserMedia error: ', error);
  });
  

RTCPeerConnection

RTCPeerConnection is the core API for WebRTC that handles the establishment of a network connection.

  
  var pc = new RTCPeerConnection();

  pc.onicecandidate = function(event) {
    if (event.candidate) {
      console.log('New ICE candidate: ', event.candidate.candidate);
    }
  };

  pc.onaddstream = function(event) {
    var video = document.createElement('video');
    video.srcObject = event.stream;
    document.body.appendChild(video);
  };

  // Add a stream to the connection
  navigator.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true }, function(stream) {
    pc.addStream(stream);
  }, function(error) {
    console.error('getUserMedia error: ', error);
  });
  

createOffer and createAnswer

These methods generate SDP (Session Description Protocol) offers and answers, which are essential for establishing a connection.

  
  pc.createOffer(function(offer) {
    pc.setLocalDescription(offer);
    // Send offer to the remote peer
  }, function(error) {
    console.error('createOffer error: ', error);
  });
  
  
  pc.createAnswer(function(answer) {
    pc.setLocalDescription(answer);
    // Send answer to the remote peer
  }, function(error) {
    console.error('createAnswer error: ', error);
  });
  

App Example

Below is an example of a simple WebRTC video chat application using AdapterJS:

  
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
    <title>WebRTC Video Chat</title>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Temasys/AdapterJS/adapter.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>WebRTC Video Chat</h1>
    <video id="localVideo" autoplay></video>
    <video id="remoteVideo" autoplay></video>
    <script>
      var localVideo = document.getElementById('localVideo');
      var remoteVideo = document.getElementById('remoteVideo');
      var pc = new RTCPeerConnection();

      pc.onicecandidate = function(event) {
        if (event.candidate) {
          // Send the ICE candidate to the remote peer
        }
      };

      pc.onaddstream = function(event) {
        remoteVideo.srcObject = event.stream;
      };

      navigator.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true }, function(stream) {
        localVideo.srcObject = stream;
        pc.addStream(stream);

        pc.createOffer(function(offer) {
          pc.setLocalDescription(offer);
          // Send the offer to the remote peer
        }, function(error) {
          console.error('createOffer error:', error);
        });
      }, function(error) {
        console.error('getUserMedia error:', error);
      });
    </script>
  </body>
  </html>
