Overview

caution

The RELAY v4 is the most up-to-date version of the Realtime Relay SDK. Consider reading the Upgrading to Relay v4 page to understand the benefits of RELAY v4 and how to upgrade.

The SignalWire Realtime SDK v3 revolutionizes real-time communication by simplifying the creation and management of various communication services. Through the straightforward installation process and the initiation of a realtime client, developers can easily engage with Video, Chat, Messaging, PubSub, Tasks, and Voice functionalities. The transition to v3 emphasizes ease of use with product-specific constructors, eliminating the need for manual client creation, and offering an enhanced event-driven model for more intuitive interaction and control over communication services.

Installation​

npm install @signalwire/realtime-api@~3

Get started​

To get started, create a realtime client, for example with Video.Client and listen for events. For example:

import { Video } from "@signalwire/realtime-api";

const video = new Video.Client({
  project: "<project-id>",
  token: "<project-token>",
});

video.on("room.started", async (roomSession) => {
  console.log("Room started");

  roomSession.on("member.joined", async (member) => {
    console.log(member);
  });
});
