如何在没有浏览器或任何 HTML 的情况下在 Node.js 中使用 WebRTC API？

Question

So i'm making a command line application which will send text messages between two clients using WebRTC and Node.js with socket.io signalling. But when i'm using the RTCPeerConnection api there is this error:

myConnection = new RTCPeerConnection(configuration, { 
    ^

ReferenceError: RTCPeerConnection is not defined

The code segment is:

var configuration = { 
    "iceServers": [{ "url": "stun:stun.1.google.com:19302" }] 
}; 

myConnection = new RTCPeerConnection(configuration, { 
        optional: [{RtpDataChannels: true}] 
     }); 

     console.log("RTCPeerConnection object was created"); 
     console.log(myConnection); 

     //setup ice handling 
     //when the browser finds an ice candidate we send it to another peer 
     myConnection.onicecandidate = function (event) { 
        console.log("Ice candidates found");
        if (event.candidate) { 
           send({ 
              type: "candidate", 
              candidate: event.candidate 
           });
        } 
     }; 

But when I include this js file in an HTML file as a script then it works fine. Does it have something to with the fact that WebRTC is a browser API and doesn't work outside it? I really don't wanna use a library for WebRTC. What should I do to make use of WebRTC apis without a browser?

Answer 1

It is mandatory to use a library for WebRTC in node. Why do you not want to use wrtc ? It is the same exact API as the browser.

If you are willing to use other languages you could also do C/C++, Go or Python. I don't know of bindings in other languages.
