Custom Signalling: Cordova/Ionic SDK – Video API

Your Application might need to send instructions, data to one or more recipients connected in a Session to deploy new features, business workflow. For example, you want to create a Polling mechanism among participants. EnableX supports the Custom Signalling method through which you can build such a utility that requires the passing of messages among participants.

Using Custom Signaling Method, you might send messages to all or selected participants in a Room. You can define your custom data structure to pass to meet your business requirement.

Method:  sendUserData( message, isBroadcast, RecipientIDs )

Parameters:

• @param {JSON} message – JSONObject containing the following custom keys. This object is passed to Recipients in its original form. EnableX doesn’t enforce its structure. Be advised to define keys effectively for signaling needs.
  • sender: Sender’s name
  • message: Message body
  • custom_key: Data
• @param {boolean} isBroadcast– Boolean. Use true for Public Broadcast, false for signaling to one or more recipients.
• @param {Array} RecipientIDs – Array of Client IDs whom you wish to send private messages.

Event Listener: 

• onReceivedChatDataRoom – Receives signaling in JSONObject. Available up till Android Toolkit v1.5.2. Deprecated on v1.5.3
• onUserDataReceived – Receives signaling in a JSONObject. Available Android Toolkit v1.5.3 onwards.

message = “”; // JSON
var broadcast = true; // Incase of public messaging
Var broadcast = false; // Incase of private messaging.
var array = []; // Incase of public messaging
Var array = [clientiid_1]; // Incase of private messaging.
window.EnxRtc.sendUserData( message,true,array);
