Just a proof of concept, please be kind.
How to
- Start all the things
- Client, create-react-app + grpc-web signaling + webrtc extensions
cd client
yarn
yarn start
- Client v2, same but using Improbable version with client and bidi-streaming
cd client-improbable
yarn
yarn start
- Server, grpc server + grpc-web signaling + pion/webrtc
cd server
go run .
- Click on buttons in your browser
- Profit!
Notes
Regular gRPC client/server are implemented in client/src/echo.tsx and server/echo.go. They should look like business as usual.
To simplify establishing the connection, this uses a simple grpc-web api defined by signaling.proto. It expects to run on localhost so there is no fancy ICE candidate exchange, that would be out of scope.
For the grpc-web client, the magic happens in client/src/grtc/adapter.ts which introduces a WebRtcClientBase to replace GrpcWebClientBase.
For the improbable client, instead of using a new transport which manipulates chunks, client-improbable/src/grpc/client.ts dispatches between the original GrpcClient and WebRtcClient. The other files in client-improbable/src/grpc are just linking to that new client function.
