mediasfu-shared

mediasfu-shared is the framework-agnostic WebRTC runtime at the core of the MediaSFU SDK family. It provides shared room helpers, mediasoup signaling, socket management, media state utilities, and TypeScript types for React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and plain TypeScript. Install with npm install mediasfu-shared.

mediasfu-shared is the framework-agnostic MediaSFU runtime package. It exposes the shared room helpers, mediasoup/socket flows, state utilities, and TypeScript types used by the MediaSFU SDK family.

When To Use This Package

Use mediasfu-shared when you want to:

• build your own browser client on top of MediaSFU primitives without adopting a framework-specific UI package
• share MediaSFU room, media, and participant logic across React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or plain TypeScript codebases
• import low-level helpers such as createRoomOnMediaSFU, joinRoomOnMediaSFU, connectSocket, SocketManager, and the exported consumers, methods, and types entry points

Installation

npm install mediasfu-shared mediasoup-client socket.io-client

mediasoup-client and socket.io-client are peer dependencies, so install them in the host app.

Backend Requirement

The cloud room helpers in this package target https://mediasfu.com/v1/rooms/ by default.

• Use MediaSFU Cloud when you want managed room creation, signaling, and media routing. Pass apiUserName and apiKey.
• Use MediaSFU Open / Community Edition when you self-host. Pass a non-MediaSFU localLink such as http://localhost:3000.

Quick Example

import {
  SocketManager,
  connectSocket,
  createRoomOnMediaSFU,
  joinRoomOnMediaSFU,
} from 'mediasfu-shared';

const createResult = await createRoomOnMediaSFU({
  payload: {
    action: 'create',
    userName: 'Ada',
    duration: 60,
    capacity: 10,
  },
  apiUserName: 'your-api-username',
  apiKey: 'your-64-character-api-key',
});

const joinResult = await joinRoomOnMediaSFU({
  payload: {
    action: 'join',
    meetingID: 'room123',
    userName: 'Ben',
  },
  apiUserName: 'your-api-username',
  apiKey: 'your-64-character-api-key',
});

const socket = await connectSocket({
  apiUserName: 'your-api-username',
  apiKey: 'your-64-character-api-key',
  apiToken: 'your-api-token',
  link: 'https://mediasfu.com/socket',
});

const socketManager = new SocketManager({ socket });

console.log(createResult.success, joinResult.success, socketManager.socket.connected);
