CallsKit

CallsKit is a toolkit for building call experiences with Cloudflare Realtime.

CallsKit provides vanilla JS APIs as well as React hooks that makes development with the core APIs easier in React.

»Usage

»Server setup

»API Server

First you would need to route API requests in an API server like so:

import { routeApiRequest } from 'callskit/server';

app.all('/partytracks/*', (c) => {
	return routeApiRequest({
		appId: c.env.REALTIME_APP_ID,
		token: c.env.REALTIME_API_TOKEN,
		turnServerAppId: c.env.TURN_TOKEN_ID,
		turnServerAppToken: c.env.TURN_API_TOKEN,
		request: c.req.raw,
	});
});

Make sure to put your env variables in the .dev.vars file.

Deploy this and use the URL in the client side.

»Socket Server using PartyKit

CallsKit provides a PartyKit worker that you can use to handle room state.

Just create a PartyKit project using:

npm create partykit@latest

Then, replace the contents of the src/server.ts with this:

import { PartyKitServer } from 'callskit/server';

export default PartyKitServer;

Then just deploy and use this URL in the client side.

npm run deploy

»Core API Usage (Vanilla JS)

const call = await createCall({ room: 'abc-xyz' });

// then access APIs like so
call.started_at;
call.room;
call.self;
call.self.name;
call.participants.joined.toArray();
call.participants.joined.toArray()[0].name;
call.chat;

»React Hooks

You set up the provider like so:

import { useCreateCall, CallProvider } from 'callskit/react';

function App() {
	const [call, createCall] = useCreateCall();

	useEffect(() => {
		createCall({
			room: 'abc-xyz',
			socketBaseUrl: 'YOUR_SOCKET_URL',
			// API Base should exclude `/partytracks` at the end
			apiBaseUrl: 'YOUR_API_URL',
		});
	}, []);

	return (
		<CallProvider call={call} fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
			<MyCallApp />
		</CallProvider>
	);
}

Then your app can use the provided hooks like so.

import { useCall, useCallSelector } from 'callskit/react';

function MyCallApp() {
	const call = useCall();
	const participants = useCallSelector(
		(call) => call.participants.joined,
	).toArray();

	const chatMessages = useCallSelector((call) => call.chat.messages);

	// ...
}
