Elixir WebRTC is an implementation of the W3C WebRTC API in the Elixir programming language.

Installation

Add ex_webrtc to the list of dependencies in mix.exs

def deps do
  [
    {:ex_webrtc, "~> 0.6.3"}
  ]
end

Elixir WebRTC comes with optional support for DataChannels, but it must be explicitely turned on by adding optional ex_sctp dependency

def deps do
  [
    {:ex_webrtc, "~> 0.6.3"},
    {:ex_sctp, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Please note that ex_sctp requires you to have Rust installed in order to compile.

Elixir WebRTC vs Membrane

Elixir WebRTC is the W3C WebRTC standard implementation written in almost pure Elixir. It does not use Membrane under the hood, and it aims to be as close to the W3C (and hence JavaScript) API as possible.

Membrane, on the other hand, is a multimedia framework. It supports a lot of diffrent protocols, codecs and containers. Membrane uses Elixir WebRTC in its membrane_webrtc_plugin making it possible to use WebRTC with other Membrane elements.
