Class JsSIP.RTCSession

The class JsSIP.RTCSession represents a WebRTC media (audio/video) session. It can be initiated by the local user or by a remote peer.

Internally it holds a RTCPeerConnection instance, accessible via the connection attribute.

Instance Attributes

connection

The underlying RTCPeerConnection instance associated to this session. Use it to set events related to WebRTC (such as onaddstream, onaddtrack, etc).

Note that, for outgoing calls, the RTCPeerConnection is set after calling ua.call(). However, for incoming calls the RTCPeerConnection is set after calling session.answer().

direction

String indicating who started the session. Possible values are ‘incoming’ when the session is started by the remote peer or ‘outgoing’ when the session is started by the local user.

local_identity

JsSIP.NameAddrHeader instance indicating the local identity. It corresponds with the INVITE From header value when the direction is ‘outgoing’, and with the To header value when the direction is ‘incoming’

remote_identity

JsSIP.NameAddrHeader instance indicating the remote identity. It corresponds with the INVITE To header value when the direction is ‘outgoing’, and with the From header value when the direction is ‘incoming’

start_time

Date object indicating the time when the session started. Takes its value at the moment when accepted event was fired.

end_time

Date object indicating the time when the session ended. Takes its value at the moment when ended event was fired.

data

An object for the application to store custom information associated to this session.

data

Custom session empty Object for application usage. The developer can add here custom attribute/value pairs.

Instance Methods

isInProgress()

Returns true if the session is in progress state (not established and not ended).

isEstablished()

Returns true if the session is established.

isEnded()

Returns true if the session is ended.

isReadyToReOffer()

Returns true if the session is ready for a SDP renegotiation (hold(), unhold() or renegotiate() methods).

answer(options)

Answer the incoming session. This method is available for incoming sessions only.

Parameters

options
Optional Object with extra parameters (see below).

Fields in options Object

extraHeaders
Array of Strings with extra SIP headers for the 200 OK response.
mediaConstraints
Object with two valid fields (audio and video) indicating whether the session is intended to use audio and/or video and the constraints to be used. Default value is set according to the received SDP offer.
mediaStream
MediaStream to transmit to the other end.
pcConfig
Object representing the RTCPeerConnection RTCConfiguration.
rtcConstraints
Object representing RTCPeerConnection constraints.
rtcAnswerConstraints
Object representing constraints for RTCPeerConnection createAnswer().
rtcOfferConstraints
Object representing constraints for RTCPeerConnection createOffer() (to be used for future incoming reINVITE without SDP offer).
sessionTimersExpires
Number (in seconds) for the default Session Timers interval (default value is 90, do not set a lower value).

Throws

terminate(options)

Terminate the current session regardless its direction or state.

Depending on the state of the session, this function may send a CANCEL request, a non-2xx final response, a BYE request, or even no request.

For incoming sessions, if the user has not answered the incoming INVITE, this function sends the non-2xx final response with the optionally specified status code and reason phrase. 480 Unavailvable is responded by default.

For outgoing sessions, if the original INVITE has not been already sent, it will never be sent. If the original INVITE has not been answered with a final response, the behavior depends on whether provisional response has been received. If provisional response has been received, a CANCEL request will be sent. If no provisional response has been received, the function will not send a CANCEL as per RFC 3261. If then a provisional response is received, the CANCEL request will be automatically sent.

For both incoming and outgoing, if the INVITE session has been answered with final response, a BYE request will be sent.

Parameters

options
Optional Object with extra parameters (see below).

Fields in options Object

extraHeaders
Array of Strings with extra SIP headers for the MESSAGE request.
status_code
Number between 300 and 699 representing the SIP response code.
reason_phrase
String representing the SIP reason phrase.
body
String representing the SIP message body (in case this parameter is set, a corresponding Content-Type header field must be set in extraHeader field).

NOTE: When generating a CANCEL, status_code can take values from 200 to 699. The status_code and reason_phrase will form a Reason header field as specified in RFC3326. A CANCEL will not take the extraHeaders parameter nor the body paramter.

Throws

tone
String or Number composed by one or multiple valid DTMF symbols.
