# MatrixRTC SDK (EXPERIMENTAL)
`@element-hq/matrixrtc-sdk` is the call model under Element Call, on its own:
MatrixRTC memberships and transports, LiveKit connections, publishing, E2EE keys and
the media of every member, as observables. It has no UI. Element Call's own
`CallViewModel` is meant to become one consumer of it; the design is in
[`sdk-plan.md`](../sdk-plan.md).
**Status:** first implementation. `createRtcSession` joins the session, connects to
the transport, publishes the local media and exposes every member's media; the
development harness and its e2e tests in `playwright/sdk` drive it. The
implementation still imports the building blocks it shares with Element Call from
`src/` (connections, memberships, key provider); moving them here is the next slice.
## Using it
```ts
import {
constant,
createRtcSession,
E2eeType,
MatrixRTCMode,
ObservableScope,
} from "@element-hq/matrixrtc-sdk";
const scope = new ObservableScope();
const session = createRtcSession(
scope,
client, // a matrix-js-sdk MatrixClient, logged in and syncing
room, // the matrix-js-sdk Room to hold the session in, from client.getRoom()
{
microphoneEnabled$: constant(true),
cameraEnabled$: constant(true),
audioInputDeviceId$: constant(undefined),
videoInputDeviceId$: constant(undefined),
videoProcessor$: constant(undefined),
},
{
encryptionSystem: { kind: E2eeType.PER_PARTICIPANT },
matrixRTCMode: MatrixRTCMode.Compatibility,
},
);
session.join();
session.remoteMembers$.subscribe((members) => {
// each member has displayName$, media$ and more; a media track is rendered
// by handing it a <video> or <audio> element: track.attach(element)
});
// later
session.leave();
scope.end();
```
[`dev/main.ts`](./dev/main.ts) is this example as a working page.
## Development
Everything runs from the repository root. This directory is a pnpm project of its
own only so that a host can install it as a git dependency (see
`pnpm-workspace.yaml`).
```sh
pnpm dev:sdk # the harness, https://localhost:3002
pnpm build:sdk # dist/matrixrtc-sdk.js and dist/types
pnpm test:playwright playwright/sdk # needs `pnpm backend`
```
## Installing
```sh
pnpm add github:element-hq/element-call#<ref>&path:/sdk
```
The host supplies `matrix-js-sdk`, `livekit-client` and `rxjs`; the build leaves
them external.
