Step 5: Once, you have successfully got the SDK into your application. It’s time to go with your client’s preferred language implementation.

Terminology#

The below are the common keywords/terminologies used in SDKs with their descriptions

Keyword	Description
`userId`	Unique ID assigned for each user Ex: 12345678 (any alphanumeric). The below characters is not allowed in userId: U+0022 (") U+0026 (&) U+0027 (') U+002F (/) U+003A (:) U+003C (<) U+003E (>) U+0040 (@) userID should follow below specification: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html
`userJid`	userID+@+domain of the chat server Ex. 12345678@xmpp.chatsystem.dev.contus.us
`groupJid`	Unique ID assigned for each group Ex: group123456 (any alphanumeric). GroupJID = groupID +@mix.+domain of the chat server Ex: group123456@mix.xmpp.mirrorfly.dev.contus.us`

Initialize Call SDK#

caution

If you already initialized the SDK, you can add the below callback listeners to receive call related events.

To begin with the initialization process of the call SDK you are required to have certain data that responds to the changes in the connection status in the client's app.

Now, paste the license key on the licensekey param and use the below given method to pass these data through the SDK for further processing.

note

When you are in the trial mode, by default the sandbox servers will be used. After purchase it will be upgraded to dedicated server.

const incomingCallListener = (res) => {};
const callStatusListener = (res) => {};
const userTrackListener = (res) => {};
const muteStatusListener = (res) => {};
const missedCallListener = (res) => {};
const callSwitchListener = (res) => {};
const inviteUsersListener = (res) => {};
const mediaErrorListener = (res) => {};
const callSpeakingListener = (res) => {};
const callUsersUpdateListener = (res) => {};
const callUserJoinedListener = (res) => {};
const callUserLeftListener = (res) => {};
const helper = {}

const initializeObj = {
  licenseKey: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
  callbackListeners: {
    connectionListener,
    incomingCallListener,
    callStatusListener,
    userTrackListener,
    muteStatusListener,
    missedCallListener,
    callSwitchListener,
    inviteUsersListener,
    mediaErrorListener,
    callSpeakingListener,
    callUsersUpdateListener,
    callUserJoinedListener,

    username: "123456789",
    password: "987654321",
    isProfileUpdated: true,
    isSandbox: true,
    userJid: "1234567890@xmppdomain"
  }
}

caution

username is the unique id that allows you to connect with other users to send or receive messages.

Connect to MirrorFly Server#

Step 1: You can use the credentials that you have obtained while registration to make the connection with the server.

Step 2: Once you have created the connection successfully, you will be responded with an approval message as ‘statusCode of 200’ or else will get an execution error.

Step 3: With this you can also trace the connection status that you receive in connectionListener callback function.

Step 4: If you face any error while making a connection with the server, you will receive an error message with callback.

await SDK.connect(`USERNAME`, `PASSWORD`);

Request Params#

Status	Description	Type	Required
`USERNAME`	Username	String	true
`PASSWORD`	Password	String	true

Response Params#

Arguments	Description	Type
statusCode	Status Code	Number
message	Success/Error Message	String

Make a voice call#

Initiate a call by providing the callee’s user JID into the makeVoiceCall method. Once the call initiated successfully, a callStatusListener callback will be triggered and callee user call status will be received here.

caution

If One to one call feature is unavailable for your plan, then it will throw 403 exception

note

To generate your own or others JID using the unique username got in registration response, use the const userJid = SDK.getJid(USER_ID) method.

await SDK.makeVoiceCall(['USER1_JID']);

Request Params#

Param	Description	Type	Required
[`USER_JID`]	User JID	Array	true

Response Format#

{
  statusCode: 200, // Number - status code
  message: "", // String - Success/Error Message 
  callType: "", // String - Call Type - "audio"
  roomId: "" // String - Unique room ID 
}

Response Params#

Arguments	Description	Type
statusCode	Status Code	Number
message	Success/Error Message	String
callType	Call type value as "audio"	String
roomId	Unique ID	String

note

To receive the user track, a userTrackListener callback should already be registered in the caller's client app. Whenever you make the call to a user, you will receive your own track and the callee's track in the same callback method. To differentiate the user, You can use the 'localUser' and 'userJid' param. You will receive both Audio and Video track in the same callback method.

Sample Javascript code to play the track#

<html>
  <audio id="audio" autoplay playsinline></audio>
  <video id="video" autoplay playsinline></video>
  <script>
    //let track = TRACK_OBJECT from the callback method
    //let element = ELEMENT_OBJECT in which you need to play the audio/video
    let stream = new MediaStream([track]);
    try {
        element.srcObject = stream;
    } catch (e) {
        try {
          element.src = URL.createObjectURL(stream);
        } catch (e) {
          console.error("Error attaching stream to element", e);
      }
  }
  </script>
</html>

You need to supply the track object which was received in the callback method to the audio/video element based on the track type that you have received.

warning

For the Audio/Video call, you shouldn't play your own Audio track.

Receive incoming call#

To receive an incoming call, a incomingCallListener callback should already be registered in the callee’s client app. Whenever a user make call to a user, the callee user will receive the calling data in this callback.

// Callback Response Argument Structure
{
    allUsers:["USER1_JID", "USER2_JID",...],
    callTime: 1681905421215,
    callType: "audio|video",
    groupId: null|GROUP_ID,
    localUser: BOOLEAN,
    roomId: "wmupbheao",
    roomLink: "ndy-bmkb-eui"
    status: "calling",
    toUsers: ["USER_JID"],
    userDetails: {},
    userJid: "FROM_USER_JID",
    usersStatus: [{}]
}

Response Params#

Arguments	Description
allUsers	JID's of the users in the call.
callTime	Call intiated time in timestamp format.
callType	Describe the audio or video call.

Answer a call#

To answer a call use the answerCall method.

await SDK.answerCall();

Response Params#

Arguments	Description	Type
statusCode	Status Code	Number
message	Success/Error Message	String

note

To receive the user track, a userTrackListener callback should already be registered in the caller's client app. Whenever you answer the call, you will receive your own track and the caller's track in the same callback method itself. To differentiate the user, You can use the 'localUser' and 'userJid' param. You will receive both Audio and Video track in the same callback method.

Sample Javascript code to play the track#

<html>
  <audio id="audio" autoplay playsinline></audio>
  <video id="video" autoplay playsinline></video>
  <script>
    //let track = TRACK_OBJECT from the callback method
    //let element = ELEMENT_OBJECT in which you need to play the audio/video
    let stream = new MediaStream([track]);
    try {
        element.srcObject = stream;
    } catch (e) {
        try {
          element.src = URL.createObjectURL(stream);
        } catch (e) {
          console.error("Error attaching stream to element", e);
      }
  }
  </script>
</html>

You need to supply the track object which was received in the callback method to the audio/video element based on the track type that you have received.

warning

For the Audio/Video call, you shouldn't play your own Audio track.

End a call#

To end a call use the endCall method.

await SDK.endCall();
