To analyze the code, let's take the version of file conference.js with hash 05436f890771d4, which is available here and can be downloaded with corresponding build 2.0.216218.

Script for video conference uses roomApi designed for video chats, video conferences, webinars and other applications that involve presence of users in one virtual "room". To use RoomApi, the script flashphoner-room-api.js should be included

...


1. Initialization of the API.

Flashphoner.init() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
Flashphoner.init();

...

RDark
Flashphoner.init();

2. Camera and microphone access request

Flashphoner.getMediaAccess() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
    Flashphoner.getMediaAccess(null, localDisplay).then(function() {
        createConnection(url, username);
    }).catch(function(error) {
        console.error("User not allowed media access: "+error);
        $("#failedInfo").text("User not allowed media access. Refresh the page");
        onLeft();
    });

3. Connection to server.

RoomApi.connect() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
function createConnection(url, username) {
    connection = RoomApi.connect({urlServer: url, username: username}).on(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED, function(session){
        ...
    });
}

34.  Receiving Receiving the event confirming successful connection

ConnectionStatusEvent ESTABLISHED code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
connection = RoomApi.connect({urlServer: url, username: username}).on(SESSION_STATUS.FAILED, function(session){
    ...
}).on(SESSION_STATUS.DISCONNECTED, function(session) {
    ...
}).on(SESSION_STATUS.ESTABLISHED, function(session) {
    setStatus('#status', session.status());
    joinRoom();
});

45. Joining a conference.

connection.join() code

To join, name of the conference room is passed to the method. (The name can be specified as parameter in the URL of the client page; otherwise, random name will be generated.)

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
connection.join({name: getRoomName(), record: isRecord()}).on(ROOM_EVENT.STATE, function(room){
    ...
});

56.  Receiving Receiving the event describing chat room state

RoomStatusEvent STATE code

On this event:

  • the length of the array of Participant objects returned by method Room.getParticipants() is determined to get the number of already connected participants
  • if the maximum allowed number of participants had already been reached, the user leaves the "room" (line 85)
  • otherwise, the user starts publishing video stream
Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
connection.join({name: getRoomName(), record: isRecord()}).on(ROOM_EVENT.STATE, function(room){
    var participants = room.getParticipants();
    console.log("Current number of participants in the room: " + participants.length);
    if (participants.length >= _participants) {
        console.warn("Current room is full");
        $("#failedInfo").text("Current room is full.");
        room.leave().then(onLeft, onLeft);
        return false;
    }
    setInviteAddress(room.name());
    if (participants.length > 0) {
        var chatState = "participants: ";
        for (var i = 0; i < participants.length; i++) {
            installParticipant(participants[i]);
            chatState += participants[i].name();
         if (i != participants.length - 1) {
            chatState += ",";
         }
     }
         addMessage("chat", chatState);
     } else {
         addMessage("chat", " room is empty");
     }
     publishLocalMedia(room);
     onJoined(room);
}).on(ROOM_EVENT.JOINED, function(participant){
     ...
}).on(ROOM_EVENT.LEFT, function(participant){
     ...
}).on(ROOM_EVENT.PUBLISHED, function(participant){
     ...
}).on(ROOM_EVENT.FAILED, function(room, info){
     ...
}).on(ROOM_EVENT.MESSAGE, function(message){
     ...
});

67. Low Power Mode checking before publishing on mobile device

Flashphoner.playFirstVideo() code

Code Block
languagejs
themeRDark
    if (Browser.isSafariWebRTC()) {
        var display = document.getElementById("localDisplay");

            publishLocalMedia(room);
        }).catch(function (error) {
            console.log("Can't atomatically publish local stream, use Publish button");
            for (var i = 0; i < display.children.length; i++) {
                if (display.children[i]) {
                    console.log("remove cached instance id " + display.children[i].id);
                    display.removeChild(display.children[i]);
                }
            }
            onMediaStopped(room);
        });
    }
