WebRTC Signaling with Dat
Raw
gistfile1.txt
WebRTC, unlike Dat, requires doing a handshake through a third party.
With beaker, that third party can be the existing P2P connections that you have.
To connect between two peers you need to do the following:
- Create a Dat Archive for the call website
- Listen on messages in the [dat-peers API](https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/apis/experimental-datpeers)
- Have the user enter a "room"
- Set up the WebRTC connection, send the SDP handshake and the `room` through datPeers
- When you get messages for your room, pass them to the local PeerConnection as being remote SDP or ICE
