data-channels
data-channels is a pion-WebRTC application that shows how you can send/recv DataChannel messages from a web browser
Instructions
Download data-channels
go get github.com/pions/webrtc/examples/data-channels
Open data-channels example page
jsfiddle.net
Run data-channels, with your browsers SessionDescription as stdin
In the jsfiddle the top textarea is your browser's session description, copy that and:
Linux/macOS
Run echo $BROWSER_SDP | data-channels
Windows
- Paste the SessionDescription into a file.
- Run
data-channels < my_file
Copy the text that data-channels
just emitted and copy into second text area
Hit 'Start Session' in jsfiddle
Under Start Session you should see 'Checking' as it starts connecting. If everything worked you should see New DataChannel foo 1
Now you can put whatever you want in the Message
textarea, and when you hit Send Message
it should appear in your browser!
You can also type in your terminal, and when you hit enter it will appear in your web browser.
Congrats, you have used pion-WebRTC! Now start building something cool
