This Software Development Kit (SDK) for JavaScript allows developers to simplify Millicast services integration into their own web apps.
You can use the CDN version of the SDK adding this tag to your document's <head>
. Then millicast
global variable will be available to use it.
<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@millicast/sdk@latest/dist/millicast.umd.js'></script>
Or if you are building an application with Node.js, you can install the SDK package to your dependencies.
npm i --save @millicast/sdk
This simple example will show how to broadcast the user camera and microphone to Millicast Media Servers and viewing it.
You will need a Millicast account and a valid publishing token that you can find it in your dashboard (link here).
import { Director, Publish } from '@millicast/sdk'
//Define callback for generate new tokens
const tokenGenerator = () => Director.getPublisher({
token: 'my-publishing-token',
streamName: 'my-stream-name'
})
//Create a new instance
const millicastPublish = new Publish(streamName, tokenGenerator)
//Get User camera and microphone
const mediaStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ audio: true, video: true })
//Publishing Options
const broadcastOptions = {
mediaStream
}
//Start broadcast
try {
await millicastPublish.connect(broadcastOptions)
} catch (e) {
console.log('Connection failed, handle error', e)
}

You can find the latest, most up to date, SDK documentation at our API Reference page. There are more examples with every module available.
In this repo there are two packages that implement a broadcaster and viewer application using the SDK. You can clone this repo and following the steps indicated in each example:
This section is intended to explain how properly integrate this SDK with different JS frameworks, with links to official guides that will contain a more step by step oriented explanation on how to do it.
Right now, we only have a React Native guide.
This SDK can be used for React Native based projects. In order to accomplish this integration, some configuration steps are needed. This library assumes all webRTC methods are natively defined (usually, inside web browsers). However this is not the case for native Android/iOS native applications. In order to solve this, we have tested and worked along with React Native webRTC project for this purpose.
Check out this guide on how to integrate Millicast JS SDK with React Native webRTC!
