init

( options ,   [callback] ,   )
  Defined in: source/room-init.js:840      Available since 0.5.5

Initialises and configures Skylink to begin any connection. NOTE that this is the first method that has to be called before using any other functionalities other than debugging features like setLogLevel() and setDebugMode() and after all event subscriptions like on() or once() has been made. This is where the Application Key is configured and attached to Skylink for usage.

Triggers:

readyStateChange

Parameters:

    • defaultRoom {String} Optional
      DEFAULT: options.appKey

      Deprecated feature. The regional server that Skylink should connect to for fastest connectivity. [Rel: Skylink.REGIONAL_SERVER]

    • enableIceTrickle {Boolean} Optional
      DEFAULT: true

      Debugging Feature. The flag that indicates if PeerConnections should enable trickling of ICE to connect the ICE connection. Configuring this value to false may result in a slower connection but a more stable connection.

    • enableDataChannel {Boolean} Optional
      DEFAULT: true

      Debugging feature. The flag that indicates if PeerConnections should have any DataChannel connections. Configuring this value to false may result in failure to use features like sendBlobData(), sendP2PMessage() and sendURLData() or any DataChannel connection related services.

    • enableTURNServer {Boolean} Optional
      DEFAULT: true

      Debugging feature. The flag that indicates if PeerConnections connection should use any TURN server connection. Tampering this flag may disable any successful Peer connection that is behind any firewalls, so set this value at your own risk.

    • enableSTUNServer {Boolean} Optional
      DEFAULT: true

      Debugging feature. The flag that indicates if PeerConnections connection should use any STUN server connection. Tampering this flag may cause issues to connections, so set this value at your own risk.

      DEFAULT: false

      The flag that indicates if PeerConnections connection should only use TURN server connection which enables a quicker connectivity. This configuration will override the settings for enableTURNServer and enableSTUNServer and set enableTURNServer as true and enableSTUNServer as false if the value is set to true.

    • usePublicSTUN {Boolean} Optional
      DEFAULT: true

CORS may be disabled by setting the platform to "Other".

      • startDateTime {String}
        The room start datetime stamp in ISO 8601 format. This will start a new meeting based on the starting datetime stamp in the room that was selected to join for Application Key that is configured with persistent room feature. You may use Date.toISOString() to retrieve ISO 8601 formatted date time stamp. The start date time of the room will not affect non persistent room connection.
      • duration {Number}
        The duration (in hours) that the room duration should be in. This will set the duration starting from the provided startDateTime onwards and after the duration is over, the meeting is over and the room is closed for Application Key that is configured with persistent room feature. The duration will not affect non persistent room connection.The duration of the meeting in hours.
        E.g. 0.5 for half an hour, 1.4 for 1 hour and 24 minutes
      • credentials {String}
        The room credentials for Application Key. This is required for rooms connecting without CORS verification or starting a new persistent room meeting.

        To generate the credentials:
        1. Concatenate a string that consists of the room name the room meeting duration (in hours) and the start date timestamp (in ISO 8601 format).
          Format room + "_" + duration + "_" + startDateTimeStamp
        2. Hash the concatenated string with the Application Key token using SHA-1. You may use the CryptoJS.HmacSHA1 function to do so.
          Example var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(concatenatedString, token);
        3. Convert the hash to a Base64 encoded string. You may use the CryptoJS.enc.Base64 function to do so.
          Example var base64String = hash.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Base64);
        4. Encode the Base64 encoded string to a URI component using UTF-8 encoding with encodeURIComponent().

      The mininum timeout value is 5000.

    • forceTURNSSL {Boolean} Optional
      DEFAULT: false

      The flag to enforce an SSL TURN server connection. If self domain accessing protocol is https:, SSL connections would be automatically used.
