JavaScript Kurento Client
The project contains the implementation of the JavaScript Kurento Client for web applications and Node.js.
The source code of this project can be cloned from the GitHub repository.
supports async-await out of the box
Installation instructions
These instructions are intended for code contributors or people willing to compile the browser version themselves. If you are a browser-only developer, it's better that you have a look at the JavaScript Kurento Client for Bower instructions.
Node.js
Be sure to have installed Node.js in your system:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
To install the library, it's recommended to do that from the NPM repository :
npm install kurento-client
Alternatively, or if you want to modify the JavaScript Kurento Client code or generate yourself the browser version of the library, you can download the development code files using git and install manually its dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/Kurento/kurento-client-js
cd kurento-client-js
npm install
In this last case, you will also need to have installed Kurento Module Creator so you can be able to generate the client libraries code.
Browser
To build the browser version of the library, after downloading the development code files, you'll only need to exec the grunt task runner from the root of the project and they will be generated on the dist folder. Alternatively, if you don't have it globally installed, you can run a local copy by executing
node_modules/.bin/grunt
How to test
Tests are autonomous and based on QUnit testing framework. Their only requirement is to exec previously npm install to have installed all the dev dependencies.
Browser
After building the web browser version of the library, just open the file test/index.html with any browser, and the tests will launch automatically. In case of the browser raise some security policy errors, you can host the tests code by running any static web server at the source code root folder, for example by launching the command
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
You can be able to configure to what WebSocket endpoint you want to connect on the dropdown list at the top of the tests page.
Node.js
To exec test in Node.js, you only need to exec npm test, that will launch all the tests automatically using QUnit-cli. Note that a Kurento Media Server instance must be also up, in order to have all tests run against it.
At this moment, the default WebSocket endpoint can not be changed due to limits of the current implementation of NPM. If you need to use a different WebSocket endpoint from the default one, you can exec the underlying test command and append a ws_uri parameter pointing to the alternative WebSocket endpoint:
node_modules/.bin/qunit-cli -c kurentoClient:. -c wock:node_modules/wock -c test/_common.js -c test/_proxy.js test/*.js --ws_uri=ws://localhost:8080
