Usage

To place a SIP call, either utilize the SimpleUser class...

import { Web } from "sip.js";

// Helper function to get an HTML audio element
function getAudioElement(id: string): HTMLAudioElement {
  const el = document.getElementById(id);
  if (!(el instanceof HTMLAudioElement)) {
    throw new Error(`Element "${id}" not found or not an audio element.`);
  }
  return el;
}

// Options for SimpleUser
const options: Web.SimpleUserOptions = {
  aor: "sip:alice@example.com", // caller
  media: {
    constraints: { audio: true, video: false }, // audio only call
    remote: { audio: getAudioElement("remoteAudio") } // play remote audio
  }
};

// WebSocket server to connect with
const server = "wss://sip.example.com";

// Construct a SimpleUser instance
const simpleUser = new Web.SimpleUser(server, options);

// Connect to server and place call
simpleUser.connect()
  .then(() => simpleUser.call("sip:bob@example.com"))
  .catch((error: Error) => {
    // Call failed
  });

Or, alternatively, use the full API framework...

import { Inviter, SessionState, UserAgent } from "sip.js";

// Create user agent instance (caller)
const userAgent = new UserAgent({
  uri: UserAgent.makeURI("sip:alice@example.com"),
  transportOptions: {
    server: "wss://sip.example.com"
  },
});

// Connect the user agent
userAgent.start().then(() => {

  // Set target destination (callee)
  const target = UserAgent.makeURI("sip:bob@example.com");
  if (!target) {
    throw new Error("Failed to create target URI.");
  }

  // Create a user agent client to establish a session
  const inviter = new Inviter(userAgent, target, {
    sessionDescriptionHandlerOptions: {
      constraints: { audio: true, video: false }
    }
  });

  // Handle outgoing session state changes
  inviter.stateChange.addListener((newState) => {
    switch (newState) {
      case SessionState.Establishing:
        // Session is establishing
        break;
      case SessionState.Established:
        // Session has been established
        break;
      case SessionState.Terminated:
        // Session has terminated
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  });

  // Send initial INVITE request
  inviter.invite()
    .then(() => {
      // INVITE sent
    })
    .catch((error: Error) => {
      // INVITE did not send
    });

});
