API

The entrypoint to the library is the sylkrtc object. Several objects (Connection, Account and Call) inherit from Node's EventEmitter class, you may want to check its documentation.

sylkrtc

The main entrypoint to the library. It exposes the main function to connect to SylkServer and some utility functions for general use.

sylkrtc.createConnection(options={})

Creates a sylkrtc connection towards a SylkServer instance. The supported options are "server" and optional object "userAgent". Where server should point to the WebSocket endpoint of the WebRTC gateway application. Example: wss://1.2.3.4:8088/webrtcgateway/ws.

It returns a Connection object.

Example:

let connection = sylkrtc.createConnection({server: 'wss://1.2.3.4:8088/webrtcgateway/ws'});

If the optional userAgent object is given, it should contain:

  • name : string with the name of the application.
  • version: version string of the application.

Example with userAgent:

let connection = sylkrtc.createConnection({server: 'wss://1.2.3.4:8088/webrtcgateway/ws', userAgent: {name: 'Some Apllication', version: '0.99.9'}});

sylkrtc.utils

Helper module with utility functions.

  • attachMediaStream: function to easily attach a media stream to an element. It reexports attachmediastream.
  • closeMediaStream: function to close the given media stream.
  • sanatizeHtml: function to XSS sanitize html strings

Connection

Object representing the interaction with SylkServer. Multiple connections can be created with sylkrtc.createConnection, but typically only one is needed. Reconnecting in case the connection is interrupted is taken care of automatically.

Events emitted:

  • stateChanged: indicates the WebSocket connection state has changed. Two arguments are provided: oldState and newState, the old connection state and the new connection state, respectively. Possible state values are: null, connecting, connected, ready, disconnected and closed. If the connection is involuntarily interrupted the state will transition to disconnected and the connection will be retried. Once the closed state is set, as a result of the user calling Connection.close(), the connection can no longer be used or reconnected.
  • publicKey: emitted after a publicKey lookup. One argument is provided: the result from the lookup request. This is an object with the following attributes publicKey and uri.

Connection.addAccount(options={}, cb=null)

Configures an Account to be used through sylkrtc. 2 options are required: account (the account ID) and password. An optional displayName can be set. The account won't be registered, it will just be created. Optionally realm can be passed, which will be used instead of the domain for the HA1 calculation.

The password won't be stored or transmitted as given, the HA1 hash (as used in Digest access authentication) is created and used instead.

If you need to extract SIP headers for incoming calls, an option incomingHeaderPrefixes can be set. This should contain an array of string prefixes for the wanted headers.

The cb argument is a callback which will be called with an error and the account object itself.

Example:

connection.addAccount({account: saghul@sip2sip.info, password: 1234}, function(error, account) {
    if (error) {
        console.log('Error adding account!' + account);
    } else {
        console.log('Account added!');
    }
});

Connection.removeAccount(account, cb=null)

Removes the given account. The callback will be called once the operation completes (it cannot fail). The callback will be called with an error object.

Example:

connection.removeAccount(account, function(error) {
    console('Account removed!');
});

Connection.lookupPublicKey(uri)

Lookup the public key of an uri on the server. A publicKey event will be emitted with the lookup result.

Connection.reconnect()

Starts reconnecting immediately if the state was 'disconnected';

Connection.close()

Close the connection with SylkServer. All accounts will be unbound.

Connection.state

Getter property returning the current connection state.

Account

Object representing a SIP account which will be used for making / receiving calls.
