peerjs

peer.js (Github: peers/peerjs, License: MIT) provides a complete, configurable, and easy-to-use peer-to-peer API built on top of WebRTC, supporting both data channels and media streams. peer.js wraps the browser’s WebRTC implementation to provide a complete, configurable, and easy-to-use peer-to-peer connection API. Equipped with nothing but an ID, a peer can create a P2P data or media stream connection to a remote peer.

npm install peerjs

To broker connections, peer.js connects to a PeerServer (free hosted or host your own). Note that no peer-to-peer data goes through the server – the server acts only as connection broker.

Usage

var Peer = require('peerjs').Peer;

// You can pick your own id or omit the id if you want to get a random one from the server.
var peer = new Peer('pick-an-id', { key: 'myapikey' });

Connect

var conn = peer.connect('another-peers-id');
conn.on('open', function() {
  conn.send('hi!');
});

Receive

peer.on('connection', function(conn) {
  conn.on('data', function(data) {
    // Will print 'hi!'
    console.log(data);
  });
});
