Integrating TUIRoom (Electron)

Last updated: 2024-09-14 16:38:21

    Overview

    TUIRoom is an open-source audio/video component that comes with a UI kit. It allows you to quickly implement features including audio/video room, screen sharing, and chat messages into your project.
    Note:
    All components of TUIKit use two basic PaaS services of Tencent Cloud, namely TRTC and Chat. When you activate TRTC, Chat and the trial edition of the Chat SDK (which supports up to 100 DAUs) will be activated automatically. For the billing details of Chat, see Pricing.
    
    
    
    You can download the macOS or Windows edition of our TUIRoom Electron demo to try out more features. You can also download the code for TUIRoom and refer to this document to quickly implement a TUIRoom demo project. This document shows you how to integrate the TUIRoom Electron component into your existing project.

    Integration

    The TUIRoom component is developed using Vue 3 + TypeScript + Pinia + Element Plus + SCSS, so your project must be based on Electron + Vue 3 + TypeScript.

    Step 1. Activate the TRTC service

    TUIRoom is based on TRTC and Chat.
    1. Create a TRTC application
    Sign up for a Tencent Cloud account and complete identity verification.
    In the TRTC console, click Application Management on the left sidebar and then click Create Application.
    
    
    2. Get the SDKAppID and key
    2.1 On the Application Management page, find the application you created, and click Application Info to view its SDKAppID (different applications cannot communicate with each other).
    
    
    
    2.2 Select the Quick Start tab to view the application's secret key. Each SDKAppID corresponds to a secret key. They are used to generate the signature (UserSig) required to legitimately use TRTC services.
    
    
    
    2.3 Generate UserSigUserSig is a security signature designed by Tencent Cloud to prevent attackers from accessing your Tencent Cloud account. It is required when you initialize the TUIRoom component.

    Step 2. Download and copy the TUIRoom component

    1. Open an existing Electron + Vue3 + TypeScript project. If you don’t have one, you can use this sample to create a project.
    Note:
    The steps in this document are based on electron-vite-vue 1.0.0.
    We have updated the directory structure of electron-vite-vue. If you use the latest version, some of the paths and configuration described in this document may not apply.
    2. After the template project is successfully generated, run the following script:
    cd electron-vite-vue
    npm install
    npm run dev
    3. Clone or download the TUIRoom code, and copy the TUIRoom/Electron/packages/renderer/src/TUIRoom folder to packages/renderer/src/ of your project.

    Step 3. Import the TUIRoom component

    Import the TUIRoom component into your webpage, such as App.vue.
    The TUIRoom component classifies users as hosts and participants and offers APIs including init, createRoom, and enterRoom.
    Hosts and participants can call init to initialize application and user data. Hosts can call createRoom to create and enter rooms. Participants can call enterRoom to join the rooms created by hosts.
    <template>
    <room ref="TUIRoomRef"></room>
    </template>
    
    <script setup lang="ts">
    import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue';
    // Import the TUIRoom component. Be sure to use the correct import path.
    import Room from './TUIRoom/index.vue';
    // Get the TUIRoom component elements used to call the component’s APIs
    const TUIRoomRef = ref();
    
    onMounted(async () => {
    // Initialize the TUIRoom component
    // A host needs to initialize the TUIRoom component before creating a room
    // A participant needs to initialize the TUIRoom component before entering a room
    await TUIRoomRef.value.init({
    // Get the `SDKAppID` (see step 1)
    sdkAppId: 0,
    // The user's unique ID in your business
    userId: '',
    // For local development and debugging, you can quickly generate a `UserSig` at https://console.tencentcloud.com/trtc/usersigtool. Each `UserID` corresponds to a `UserSig`.
    userSig: '',
    // The user's username in your business
    userName: '',
    // The URL of the user's profile photo in your business
    userAvatar: '',
    // The user's unique ID used for screen sharing. It must be in the format of `share_${userId}`. You don’t need to pass this parameter if you don’t need the screen sharing feature.
    shareUserId: '',
    // Refer to steps 1-3 above and use the `SDKAppID` and `shareUserId` to generate `shareUserSig`
    shareUserSig: '',
    })
    // By default, a room is created at this point. During actual implementation, you can specify when to call `handleCreateRoom()`.
    await handleCreateRoom();
    })
    
    // The host creates a room. Call this API only when you need to create a room.
    async function handleCreateRoom() {
    // `roomId` is the ID of the room to enter, which must be a number.
    // The valid values of `roomMode` are `FreeSpeech` (free speech mode) and `ApplySpeech` (request-to-speak mode). The default value is `FreeSpeech`, which is the only supported mode currently.
    // `roomParam` specifies whether to turn on the mic/camera upon room entry, as well as the default media device ID to use
    const roomId = 123456;
    const roomMode = 'FreeSpeech';
    const roomParam = {
    isOpenCamera: true,
    isOpenMicrophone: true,
    }
    await TUIRoomRef.value.createRoom(roomId, roomMode, roomParam);
    }
    
    // The participant enters a room. This API is called by a participant to join an existing room.
    async function handleEnterRoom() {
    // `roomId` is the ID of the room to enter, which must be a number.
    // `roomParam` specifies whether to turn on the mic/camera upon room entry, as well as the default media device ID to use
    const roomId = 123456;
    const roomParam = {
    isOpenCamera: true,
    isOpenMicrophone: true,
    }
    await TUIRoomRef.value.enterRoom(roomId, roomParam);
    }
    </script>
    
    <style>
    html, body {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    }
    
    #app {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    }
    </style>
    Note:
    Copy the above code to your webpage and replace the parameter values for the APIs with the actual values.

    Step 4. Set up the development environment

    After the TUIRoom component is imported, to ensure that the project can run successfully, complete the following configuration:
    1. Install dependencies
    Install development environment dependencies:
    npm install sass typescript unplugin-auto-import unplugin-vue-components -S -D
    Install production environment dependencies:
    npm install element-plus events mitt pinia trtc-electron-sdk tim-js-sdk tsignaling -S
    2. Register Pinia.
    TUIRoom uses Pinia for room data management. You need to register Pinia in the project entry file packages/renderer/src/main.ts.
    // `src/main.ts` file
    import { createPinia } from 'pinia';
    
    const app = createApp(App);
    // Register Pinia
    createApp(App)
    .use(createPinia())
    .mount('#app')
    .$nextTick(window.removeLoading)
    3. Import Element Plus components
    TUIRoom uses Element Plus UI components, which you need to import in packages/renderer/vite.config.ts. You can manually import only the components you need.
    Note:
    Add the code below in the file. Do not delete the existing configuration.
    // vite.config.ts
    import AutoImport from 'unplugin-auto-import/vite';
    import Components from 'unplugin-vue-components/vite';
    import { ElementPlusResolver } from 'unplugin-vue-components/resolvers';
    const path = require('path');
    
    export default defineConfig({
    // ...
    plugins: [
    AutoImport({
    resolvers: [ElementPlusResolver()],
    }),
    Components({
    resolvers: [ElementPlusResolver({
    importStyle: 'sass',
    })],
    }),
    ],
    css: {
    preprocessorOptions: {
    scss: {
    additionalData: `
    @use '${path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/TUIRoom/assets/style/element.scss')}' as *;
    `,
    },
    },
    },
    });
    Meanwhile, in order to ensure that Element Plus UI components can display styles properly, you need to load Element Plus component styles in the entry file `packages/renderer/src/main.ts`.
    // src/main.ts
    import 'element-plus/theme-chalk/el-message.css'
    import 'element-plus/theme-chalk/el-message-box.css'
    4. Import trtc-electron-sdk In order to import trtc-electron-sdk using the import statement at the UI layer, you need to configure packages/renderer/vite.config.ts as follows (otherwise, you will have to use the require statement):
    Note:
    Replace the configuration in resolve with the following:
    // vite.config.ts
    
    export default defineConfig({
    // ...
    plugins: [
    resolve(
    {
    "trtc-electron-sdk": `
    const TRTCCloud = require("trtc-electron-sdk");
    const TRTCParams = TRTCCloud.TRTCParams;
    const TRTCAppScene = TRTCCloud.TRTCAppScene;
    const TRTCVideoStreamType = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoStreamType;
    const TRTCScreenCaptureSourceType = TRTCCloud.TRTCScreenCaptureSourceType;
    const TRTCVideoEncParam = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoEncParam;
    const Rect = TRTCCloud.Rect;
    const TRTCAudioQuality = TRTCCloud.TRTCAudioQuality;
    const TRTCScreenCaptureSourceInfo = TRTCCloud.TRTCScreenCaptureSourceInfo;
    const TRTCDeviceInfo = TRTCCloud.TRTCDeviceInfo;
    const TRTCVideoQosPreference = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoQosPreference;
    const TRTCQualityInfo = TRTCCloud.TRTCQualityInfo;
    const TRTCStatistics = TRTCCloud.TRTCStatistics;
    const TRTCVolumeInfo = TRTCCloud.TRTCVolumeInfo;
    const TRTCDeviceType = TRTCCloud.TRTCDeviceType;
    const TRTCDeviceState = TRTCCloud.TRTCDeviceState;
    const TRTCBeautyStyle = TRTCCloud.TRTCBeautyStyle;
    const TRTCVideoResolution = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoResolution;
    const TRTCVideoResolutionMode = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoResolutionMode;
    const TRTCVideoMirrorType = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoMirrorType;
    const TRTCVideoRotation = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoRotation;
    const TRTCVideoFillMode = TRTCCloud.TRTCVideoFillMode;
    export {
    TRTCParams,
    TRTCAppScene,
    TRTCVideoStreamType,
    TRTCScreenCaptureSourceType,
    TRTCVideoEncParam,
    Rect,
    TRTCAudioQuality,
    TRTCScreenCaptureSourceInfo,
    TRTCDeviceInfo,
    TRTCVideoQosPreference,
    TRTCQualityInfo,
    TRTCStatistics,
    TRTCVolumeInfo,
    TRTCDeviceType,
    TRTCDeviceState,
    TRTCBeautyStyle,
    TRTCVideoResolution,
    TRTCVideoResolutionMode,
    TRTCVideoMirrorType,
    TRTCVideoRotation,
    TRTCVideoFillMode,
    };
    export default TRTCCloud.default;
    `,
    }
    ),
    ]
    // ...
    });
    5. Configure env.d.ts
    Configure the env.d.ts file in packages/renderer/src/env.d.ts as follows:
    Note:
    Add the code below in env.d.ts. Do not delete the existing configuration in the file.
    // env.d.ts
    
    declare module 'tsignaling/tsignaling-js' {
    import TSignaling from 'tsignaling/tsignaling-js';
    export default TSignaling;
    }
    
    declare module 'tim-js-sdk' {
    import TIM from 'tim-js-sdk';
    export default TIM;
    }
    
    6. If there are dynamic imports in your project, you need to modify the build configuration to generate an ES module.
    Modify the configuration in packages/renderer/vite.config.ts as follows.
    Note:
    Add the code below in the file. Do not delete the existing Vite configuration. Skip this step if your project does not have dynamic imports.
    // vite.config.ts
    
    export default defineConfig({
    // ...
    build: {
    rollupOptions: {
    output: {
    format: 'es'
    }
    }
    },
    });

    Step 5. Run your project in the development environment

    In the console, execute the development environment script. Then, open the page integrated with the TUIRoom component with a browser. If you used the script in step 2 to generate an Electron + Vue3 + TypeScript project, follow the steps below:
    1. Run the development environment command.
    npm run dev
    Note:
    Because Element Plus components are imported manually, it may take a relatively long time for the page to load in the development environment for the first time. This will not be an issue after building.
    2. Try out the features of the TUIRoom component.

    Step 6. Create an installer and run it

    Run the following command in a terminal window to generate an installer in the release directory.
    npm run build
    Note:
    You need macOS to create a macOS installer and Windows to create a Windows installer.
