MetaRTC

Metaverse party system.

Abstracts WebRTC into rooms of peers. Uses a presence server to negotiate P2P connections and presents an API to transmit P2P data and media streams.

The presence server is here.

API

To use the API, first import the script:

import {XRChannelConnection} from 'https://raw.githack.com/webaverse/metartc/master/xrrtc.js';

Alternatively, you can clone the repo and include the files in your project.

XRChannelConnection

Represents a WebSocket connection to the presence server. Create an XRChannelConnection to establish yourself as a peer in the room:

const roomId = 'meta'; // a string identifying the room
const channelConnection = new XRChannelConnection(`wss://presence.exokit.org/?c=${encodeURIComponent(roomId)}`);

close() : void

Closes the XRChannelConnection and any associated peers.

'peerconnection' event

Represents a peer joining the room.

channelConnection.addEventListener('peerconnection', e => {
  const peerConnection = e.data;
  // ...
});

'close' event

Emitted on the XRChannelConnection closing. Do not use the connection after this event.

XRPeerConnection

Represents a connection to a peer. Emitted from XRChannelConnection.

send(method : String, data : any) : void

Sends the given method and data to the peer, where it will be emitted. data must be JSON-serializable.

// local
peerConnection.send('pose', {
  position: [1, 2, 3],
});

// remote
peerConnection.addEventListener('pose', e => {
  console.log(e.data); // logs [1, 2, 3]
});

close() : void

Forcefully closes the XRPeerConnection. Both ends will get a close event.

'open' event

Emitted on the peer connection opening for data transfer.

'close' event

Emitted on the XRPeerConnection closing. Do not use the connection after this event.

Other events

Any method passed to send will become an event type on the other end of the XRPeerConnection.
