Kurento JavaScript Tutorial

Kurento Client JavaScript demos.

This project contains a set of simple applications built with JavaScript Kurento Client APIs (kurento-client-js and kurento-utils-js).

The source code of this project can be cloned from the GitHub repository.

Installation instructions

Be sure to have installed Node.js and Bower in your system:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g bower

Each demo is located in a single folder (e.g. kurento-hello-world, kurento-magic-mirror, and so on). For example, to install the kurento-hello-world demo dependencies, run:

cd kurento-hello-world
bower install

An HTTP server is required for these demos. A very simple way of doing this is by means of a Node.js server. This server can be installed as follows:

sudo npm install -g http-server

Then, in each demo folder execute this command:

http-server -p 8443 -S -C keys/server.crt -K keys/server.key

Finally, open https://localhost:8443/ in your browser to access to the demo.

Take into account that one demo with Generators (kurento-hello-world-recorder-generator) require co, a generator based flow-control for Node.js and browser. In these demos, the experimental JavaScript support must be enabled. In Chrome, this can done in the flags configuration page:

chrome://flags/#enable-javascript-harmony

After enabling this flag, you'll need to restart your browser.

Optional parameters

The demos accept some optional GET parameters given on the URL, you only need to add them to the query string in the same way you would add them to the Node.js executable on your command line:

https://example.com/index.html?ws_uri=wss://example.org/kurento

All demos accept following parameters:

ws_uri: the WebSocket Kurento MediaServer endpoint. By default it connects to a Kurento MediaServer instance listening on the port 8433 on the same machine where it's being hosted the demo. The KMS must allow WSS (WebSocket Secure).
ice_servers: the TURN and STUN servers to use, formatted as a JSON string holding an array of RTCIceServer objects (the same structure used when configuring a PeerConnection object), or an empty array to disabled them (this is faster and more reliable when doing tests on a local machine or LAN network). By default it use some random servers from a pre-defined list.
```
https://example.com/index.html?ice_servers=[{"urls":"stun:stun1.example.net"},{"urls":"stun:stun2.example.net"}]
https://example.com/index.html?ice_servers=[{"urls":"turn:turn.example.org","username":"user","credential":"myPassword"}]
```

Other parameters specific to each demo can be found defined at the top of their index.js file.
