Rust wrappers for [libdatachannel][], a WebRTC Data Channels standalone implementation in C++.
## Usage
This crate provides two traits that end user must implement, `DataChannelHandler` and
`PeerConnectionHandler`, which defined all callbacks for `RtcPeerConnection` and
`RtcDataChannel` structs respectively.
Aforementioned traits are defined as follows:
```rust
pub trait DataChannelHandler {
fn on_open(&mut self) {}
fn on_closed(&mut self) {}
fn on_error(&mut self, err: &str) {}
fn on_message(&mut self, msg: &[u8]) {}
fn on_buffered_amount_low(&mut self) {}
fn on_available(&mut self) {}
}
pub trait PeerConnectionHandler {
type DCH;
fn data_channel_handler(&mut self) -> Self::DCH;
fn on_description(&mut self, sess_desc: SessionDescription) {}
fn on_candidate(&mut self, cand: IceCandidate) {}
fn on_connection_state_change(&mut self, state: ConnectionState) {}
fn on_gathering_state_change(&mut self, state: GatheringState) {}
fn on_data_channel(&mut self, data_channel: Box<RtcDataChannel<Self::DCH>>) {}
}
```
Note that all `on_*` methods have a default no-operation implementation.
The main struct, `RtcPeerconnection`, takes a `RtcConfig` (which defines ICE servers)
and a instance of `PeerConnectionHandler`.
Here is the basic workflow:
```rust
use datachannel::{DataChannelHandler, PeerConnectionHandler, RtcConfig, RtcPeerConnection};
struct MyChannel;
impl DataChannelHandler for MyChannel {
fn on_open(&mut self) {
// TODO: notify that the data channel is ready (optional)
}
fn on_message(&mut self, msg: &[u8]) {
// TODO: process the received message
}
}
struct MyConnection;
impl PeerConnectionHandler for MyConnection {
type DCH = MyChannel;
/// Used to create the `RtcDataChannel` received through `on_data_channel`.
fn data_channel_handler(&mut self) -> Self::DCH {
MyChannel
}
fn on_data_channel(&mut self, mut dc: Box<RtcDataChannel<Self::DCH>>) {
// TODO: store `dc` to keep receiving its messages (otherwise it will be dropped)
}
}
let ice_servers = vec!["stun:stun.l.google.com:19302"];
let conf = RtcConfig::new(&ice_servers);
let mut pc = RtcPeerConnection::new(&conf, MyConnection)?;
let mut dc = pc.create_data_channel("test-dc", MyChannel)?;
// TODO: exchange `SessionDescription` and `IceCandidate` with remote peer
// TODO: wait for `dc` to be opened (should be signaled through `on_open`)
// ...
// Then send a message
dc.send("Hello Peer!".as_bytes())?;
```
Complete implementation example can be found in the [tests](tests).

## Cargo features
- `log` _Default_ Enables logging provided by the `log` crate (mutually exclusive with
`tracing`).
- `tracing` Enables logging provided by the `tracing` crate (mutally exclusive with `log`).
- `static` Build and link statically (with all dependencies, including `OpenSSL`).
- `media` Enables media support through `libdatachannel`.
## Building
Note that `CMake` is required to compile [libdatachannel][] through
[datachannel-sys](datachannel-sys).
Clone the repo recursively:
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/lerouxrgd/datachannel-rs.git
```
### Static build
By default [libdatachannel][] will be built and linked dynamically. However there is a
`static` Cargo feature that will build and link it statically (with all its
dependencies, including `OpenSSL`).
### Apple macOS
You probably need to set the following environment variables if your build fails with an
`OpenSSL` related error.
```sh
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1i/
export OPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1i/lib
```
With the paths of your local `OpenSSL` installation.
### Ubuntu
Required dependencies:
```sh
# Needed to compile libdatachannel
sudo apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config libssl-dev clang
```
