react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk

React native wrapper for Jitsi Meet SDK Library. This Library implements the Jitsi SDK with a native activity on the Android side and a viewController for iOS part, which gives you a better experience and less problems.

Installation

npm install react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk

Important

We faced some issues with RN >= 0.64 and JitsiSDK, we recommend using a version 0.60 <= RN < 0.64

Usage

Start meeting :

import { startCall, endCall } from 'react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk';

// ...

  // Start the call with url and user

startCall("https://meet.jit.si/react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk", {
      name: "name",
      email: "[email protected]",
      avatar: "https://avatar.png"
    })


  // Call this to end the call programmatically 
endCall()

Options :

import { startCall } from 'react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk';

// ...

  // Start the call with options

   const options = {
    audioMuted: true,
    videoMuted: true,
  }

startCall("https://meet.jit.si/react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk", {
      name: "name",
      email: "[email protected]",
      avatar: "https://avatar.png"
    },
    options)

key	Default
token	null
subject	path of the url
audioMuted	false
videoMuted	false
audioOnly	false

Implement listeners :

import JitsiMeetSdk from 'react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk';

// ...

  useEffect(() => {

    const subscription_will_join = eventManagerEmitter.addListener(
      JitsiMeetSdk.CONST_JS_CONFERENCE_WILL_JOIN_EVENT_NAME,
      (e) => {
        console.log("CONFERENCE_WILL_JOIN_EVENT");
      }
    );

    const subscription_terminated = eventManagerEmitter.addListener(
      JitsiMeetSdk.CONST_JS_CONFERENCE_TERMINATED_EVENT_NAME,
      (e) => {
        console.log("CONFERENCE_TERMINATED_EVENT");
      }
    );

    const subscription_joined = eventManagerEmitter.addListener(
      JitsiMeetSdk.CONST_JS_CONFERENCE_JOINED_EVENT_NAME,
      (e) => {
        console.log("CONFERENCE_JOINED_EVENT");
      }
    );

    const subscription_participant_left = eventManagerEmitter.addListener(
      JitsiMeetSdk.CONST_JS_PARTICIPANT_LEFT_EVENT_NAME,
      (e) => {
        console.log("PARTICIPANT_LEFT_EVENT", e);
      }
    );

    const subscription_participant_joined = eventManagerEmitter.addListener(
      JitsiMeetSdk.CONST_JS_PARTICIPANT_JOINED_EVENT_NAME,
      (e) => {
        console.log("PARTICIPANT_JOINED_EVENT", e);
      }
    );


    //This method called from android for ios you must see example below
    const subscription_retrieve_participants = eventManagerEmitter.addListener(
      JitsiMeetSdk.CONST_JS_RETRIEVE_PARTICIPANT_INFO_EVENT_NAME,
      (e) => {
        console.log("RETRIEVE_PARTICIPANT_INFO_EVENT", e);
      }
    );


    return () => {
      subscription_will_join.remove();
      subscription_joined.remove();
      subscription_terminated.remove();
      subscription_participant_left.remove();
      subscription_participant_joined.remove()
      subscription_retrieve_participants.remove()
    };
  });

Retrieve participants info :

import { retrieveParticipantsInfo } from 'react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk';

// ...

   // For Android you must implement the "subscription_retrieve_participants" listener in order to retrieve the participants.
retrieveParticipantsInfo((retrieveParticipant)=>{

})

Generating release APK

If your having problems with duplicate_classes errors, try exclude them from the react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk project implementation with the following code:

// You may face the same problem in other libraries too, just exclude it like the example below 

implementation(project(':react-native-jitsi-meet-sdk')) {
  // Un-comment below if using hermes
  exclude group: 'com.facebook',module:'hermes'
  // Un-comment any used packages below
   exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community-async-storage'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-locale-detector'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-vector-icons'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community_netinfo'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-svg'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-fetch-blob'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-webview'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-linear-gradient'
  // exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-sound'
}
