react-rtc

react-rtc is a react component that uses firebase to establish webRTC connections.

Simple demo

Usage

/** @jsx React.DOM */
var Firebase = require('firebase');
var React = require('react');
 
var Rtc = require('react-rtc');
 
var myFirebaseRef = new Firebase('https://someFbApp.firebaseio.com');
 
var VideoComponent = React.createClass({
  componentWillReceiveProps: function(newProps) {
    if (this.props.remoteVideo !== newProps.remoteVideo)
      this.setState({src: URL.createObjectURL(newProps.remoteVideo)});
  },
 
  render: function() {
    return <video src={this.state.src} />
  }
});
 
// Then use it like this:
 
<Rtc id="myId" fb={myFirebaseRef}>
  <VideoComponent key="sharedKey">
  <VideoComponent key="anotherKeySharedWithAnotherClient">
</Rtc>

API

Rtc requires id and fb props. It can also take a component prop which decides what DOM element child components will render in. It will default to a DIV element. id must be unique amongst all clients/browsers who share the same firebase ref.

Child components require a key component. Whenever a child component in another browser has the same key, they will establish a webRTC connection, and the child will get two new props injected: localStream and remoteStream. These are webRTC media streams.
