performRpc

• performRpc(params): Promise<string>

• Initiate an RPC call to a remote participant

  Parameters

  • params: PerformRpcParams

    Parameters for initiating the RPC call, see PerformRpcParams

  Returns Promise<string>

  A promise that resolves with the response payload or rejects with an error.

  Throws

  Error on failure. Details in message.

publishData

• publishData(data, options?): Promise<void>

• Publish a new data payload to the room. Data will be forwarded to each participant in the room if the destination field in publishOptions is empty

  Parameters

  • data: Uint8Array

    Uint8Array of the payload. To send string data, use TextEncoder.encode
  • options: DataPublishOptions = {}

    optionally specify a reliable, topic and destination

  Returns Promise<void>

publishDtmf

• publishDtmf(code, digit): Promise<void>

• Publish SIP DTMF message to the room.

  Parameters

  • code: number

    DTMF code
  • digit: string

    DTMF digit

  Returns Promise<void>

publishTrack

• publishTrack(track, options?): Promise<LocalTrackPublication>

• Publish a new track to the room

  Parameters

  • track: MediaStreamTrack | LocalTrack<Kind>
  • Optionaloptions: TrackPublishOptions

  Returns Promise<LocalTrackPublication>

registerRpcMethod

• registerRpcMethod(method, handler): void

• Establishes the participant as a receiver for calls of the specified RPC method. Will overwrite any existing callback for the same method.

  Parameters

  • method: string

    The name of the indicated RPC method
  • handler: ((data: RpcInvocationData) => Promise<string>)

    Will be invoked when an RPC request for this method is received

    • • (data): Promise<string>

      • Parameters

        • data: RpcInvocationData

        Returns Promise<string>

  Returns void

  A promise that resolves when the method is successfully registered

  Example

  room.localParticipant?.registerRpcMethod(
    'greet',
    async (data: RpcInvocationData) => {
      console.log(`Received greeting from ${data.callerIdentity}: ${data.payload}`);
      return `Hello, ${data.callerIdentity}!`;
    }
  );
  Copy

  The handler should return a Promise that resolves to a string. If unable to respond within responseTimeout, the request will result in an error on the caller's side.

  You may throw errors of type RpcError with a string message in the handler, and they will be received on the caller's side with the message intact. Other errors thrown in your handler will not be transmitted as-is, and will instead arrive to the caller as 1500 ("Application Error").
