ortc demonstrates Pion WebRTC's ORTC capabilities. Instead of using the Session Description Protocol to configure and communicate ORTC provides APIs. Users then can implement signaling with whatever protocol they wish. ORTC can then be used to implement WebRTC. A ORTC implementation can parse/emit Session Description and act as a WebRTC implementation.
In this example we have defined a simple JSON based signaling protocol.
go install github.com/pion/webrtc/v4/examples/ortc@latest
ortc -offer
this will emit a base64 message. Copy this message to your clipboard.
Run the second client. This should be launched with the message you copied in the previous step as stdin.
echo $BASE64_MESSAGE_YOU_COPIED | ortc
This will emit another base64 message. Copy this new message.
- Run
curl localhost:8080 -d "BASE64_MESSAGE_YOU_COPIED"
.BASE64_MESSAGE_YOU_COPIED
is the value you copied in the last step.
If everything worked you will see Data channel 'Foo'-'' open.
in each terminal.
Each client will send random messages every 5 seconds that will appear in the terminal
Congrats, you have used Pion WebRTC! Now start building something cool
