Allow the client to be used in a nodejs instance

Perhaps, if window does not exist import RTCPeerConnection from node-webrtc?

[bil-ash]

Even I would like the same to be implemented because . @yandeu any thoughts on this?

[yandeu]

It should be easy to add this in v2.

Don't close it, github actions bot. I'm interested in this feature.

[KingCosmic]

also interested in this.

[Jalcantara88]

I too need a solution for this

[ChrisDiPiero]

Yes, please. I also need a solution.

I managed to use the client in NodeJS by providing some global variables from wrtc and node-fetch packages.

// Polyfills
import wrtc from "wrtc";
import fetch from "node-fetch";

global.RTCPeerConnection = wrtc.RTCPeerConnection;
global.RTCSessionDescription = wrtc.RTCSessionDescription;
// @ts-ignore
global.fetch = fetch;

// Client can now be used
import geckos from "@geckos.io/client";

[TroyKomodo]

I no longer need this. But @gutnar's solution should likely be PR'ed.

Installing two additional packages that will only be used by a small fraction of people seems like a waste to me. Someone should just make a wrapper module for geckos, so those that need this functionality can install that instead.

[TroyKomodo]

I think, you are confused as to how the node bundle works. If you are using this for web browser I believe this doesn't make a difference

[Codezilluh]

It would add two extra (rather large) dependencies to the package.

It would add two extra (rather large) dependencies to the package.

Which a tree shake algorithm, which most bundlers implement, would filter out.
