Documentation

Documentation is available here.

For a more comprehensive tutorial on Fishjam, its capabilities and usage in production, refer to the Fishjam docs.

Usage

Prerequisites:

  • A running Fishjam server.
  • A created room and a peer's token in that room. You can use the dashboard example to create a room and a peer token.

The following code snippet is based on the minimal example.

import { FishjamClient, WebRTCEndpoint } from '@fishjam-dev/ts-client';

const SCREEN_SHARING_MEDIA_CONSTRAINTS = {
  video: {
    frameRate: { ideal: 20, max: 25 },
    width: { max: 1920, ideal: 1920 },
    height: { max: 1080, ideal: 1080 },
  },
};

// Example metadata types for peer and track
// You can define your own metadata types, just make sure they are serializable
type PeerMetadata = {
  name: string;
};

type TrackMetadata = {
  type: 'camera' | 'screen';
};

// Create a new FishjamClient object to interact with Fishjam
const client = new FishjamClient<PeerMetadata, TrackMetadata>();

const peerToken = prompt('Enter peer token') ?? 'YOUR_PEER_TOKEN';

// Start the peer connection
client.connect({
  peerMetadata: { name: 'peer' },
  token: peerToken,
  // if the 'signaling' field is missing, the client will connect to ws://localhost:5002/socket/peer/websocket
});

// You can listen to events emitted by the client
client.on('joined', (peerId, peersInRoom) => {
  // Check if webrtc is initialized
  if (!client.webrtc) return console.error('webrtc is not initialized');

  // To start broadcasting your media, you will need a source of MediaStream like a camera, microphone, or screen
  // In this example, we will use screen sharing
  startScreenSharing(client.webrtc);
});

// To receive media from other peers, you need to listen to the onTrackReady event
client.on('trackReady', (ctx) => {
  const peerId = ctx.peer.id;

  document.getElementById(peerId)?.remove(); // remove previous video element if it exists

  // Create a new video element to display the media
  const videoPlayer = document.createElement('video');
  videoPlayer.id = peerId;
  videoPlayer.oncanplaythrough = function () {
    // Chrome blocks autoplay of unmuted video
    videoPlayer.muted = true;
    videoPlayer.play();
  };
  document.body.appendChild(videoPlayer);

  videoPlayer.srcObject = ctx.stream; // assign MediaStream to video element
});

// Cleanup video element when track is removed
client.on('trackRemoved', (ctx) => {
  const peerId = ctx.peer.id;
  document.getElementById(peerId)?.remove(); // remove video element
});

async function startScreenSharing(webrtc: WebRTCEndpoint) {
  // Get screen sharing MediaStream
  const screenStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(
    SCREEN_SHARING_MEDIA_CONSTRAINTS,
  );

  // Add local MediaStream to webrtc
  screenStream
    .getTracks()
    .forEach((track) => webrtc.addTrack(track, { type: 'screen' }));
}
