### Establishing Audio-Only Calls with PeerJS

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Provides examples for establishing audio-only connections using PeerJS. It covers both initiating an audio call and answering an incoming audio call. This is useful for voice chat applications where video is not required.

```javascript
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: false, audio: true })
  .then((audioStream) => {
    const call = peer.call('remote-peer-id', audioStream);

    call.on('stream', (remoteAudioStream) => {
      const audio = new Audio();
      audio.srcObject = remoteAudioStream;
      audio.play();
    });
  });

// Receiving peer
peer.on('call', (call) => {
  navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: false, audio: true })
    .then((audioStream) => {
      call.answer(audioStream);

      call.on('stream', (remoteAudioStream) => {
        const audio = new Audio();
        audio.srcObject = remoteAudioStream;
        audio.play();
      });
    });
});
```

--------------------------------

### Initiate Data Connection

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Starts a data connection to another peer by calling the `connect` method on the Peer object, providing the destination peer's ID. This returns a DataConnection object.

```javascript
var conn = peer.connect('dest-peer-id');
```

### JavaScript PeerJS Video Conference Implementation

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Implements a multi-peer video conference room using PeerJS. It handles getting the local media stream, establishing peer connections, managing incoming and outgoing calls, and dynamically adding/removing video elements for participants. Requires a PeerServer for signaling and TURN servers for NAT traversal in production.

```javascript
const peer = new Peer();
const videoCalls = new Map();
let localStream;

// Get local video stream
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true })
  .then((stream) => {
    localStream = stream;
    document.getElementById('local-video').srcObject = stream;
  });

peer.on('open', (myId) => {
  console.log('Join conference with ID:', myId);
});

// Join conference by calling all existing participants
function joinConference(participantIds) {
  participantIds.forEach((participantId) => {
    if (!videoCalls.has(participantId)) {
      const call = peer.call(participantId, localStream, {
        metadata: { username: 'User-' + peer.id.slice(0, 4) }
      });

      call.on('stream', (remoteStream) => {
        videoCalls.set(participantId, call);
        addVideoElement(participantId, remoteStream);
        console.log('Connected to participant:', participantId);
      });

      call.on('close', () => {
        videoCalls.delete(participantId);
        removeVideoElement(participantId);
      });
    }
  });
}

// Handle incoming calls
peer.on('call', (call) => {
  console.log('Incoming call from:', call.peer);
  call.answer(localStream);

  call.on('stream', (remoteStream) => {
    videoCalls.set(call.peer, call);
    addVideoElement(call.peer, remoteStream);
  });

  call.on('close', () => {
    videoCalls.delete(call.peer);
    removeVideoElement(call.peer);
  });
});

function addVideoElement(peerId, stream) {
  const container = document.getElementById('remote-videos');
  const video = document.createElement('video');
  video.id = 'video-' + peerId;
  video.srcObject = stream;
  video.autoplay = true;
  video.playsInline = true;
  container.appendChild(video);
}

function removeVideoElement(peerId) {
  const video = document.getElementById('video-' + peerId);
  if (video) video.remove();
}

// Leave conference
function leaveConference() {
  videoCalls.forEach((call) => call.close());
  videoCalls.clear();
  localStream.getTracks().forEach(track => track.stop());
}
```

--------------------------------

### Establish Data Connections with PeerJS

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Demonstrates establishing bidirectional data connections between peers. The initiating peer connects using a remote peer ID and optional configuration. The receiving peer listens for incoming connections. Both peers handle 'open', 'data', and 'close' events for communication.

```javascript
// Initiating peer
const conn = peer.connect('remote-peer-id', {
  label: 'chat-channel',
  metadata: { username: 'Alice', timestamp: Date.now() },
  serialization: 'json',
  reliable: true
});

conn.on('open', () => {
  console.log('Connection established');
  conn.send({ type: 'greeting', message: 'Hello from Alice!' });
});

conn.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log('Received:', data);
});

conn.on('close', () => {
  console.log('Connection closed');
});

// Receiving peer
peer.on('connection', (conn) => {
  console.log('Incoming connection from:', conn.peer);
  console.log('Connection metadata:', conn.metadata);

  conn.on('open', () => {
    conn.on('data', (data) => {
      console.log('Received:', data);
      conn.send({ type: 'response', message: 'Hi ' + conn.metadata.username + '!' });
    });
  });
});
```

### Managing PeerJS Connection Lifecycle

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Illustrates how to manage the lifecycle of PeerJS connections, including opening, disconnecting, and destroying peers. It demonstrates reconnection logic after a disconnection and proper shutdown procedures.

```javascript
const peer = new Peer('my-peer-id');

peer.on('open', (id) => {
  console.log('Connected to PeerServer with ID:', id);
});

peer.on('disconnected', () => {
  console.log('Disconnected from PeerServer');
  console.log('Existing connections remain active:', !peer.disconnected);

  // Attempt reconnection after 5 seconds
  setTimeout(() => {
    if (!peer.destroyed) {
      peer.reconnect();
      console.log('Attempting to reconnect...');
    }
  }, 5000);
});

peer.on('close', () => {
  console.log('Peer closed - no new connections possible');
});

// Manually disconnect (keeps existing connections alive)
function disconnect() {
  peer.disconnect();
}

// Clean shutdown
function shutdown() {
  peer.destroy(); // Closes all connections and frees resources
  console.log('Peer destroyed:', peer.destroyed);
}
```

--------------------------------

### Initialize Peer Connection with PeerJS

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Initializes a PeerJS connection, allowing for automatic ID generation or a custom ID. The 'open' event provides the peer ID, which should be shared for establishing connections. Error handling for the peer connection is also demonstrated.

```javascript
const peer = new Peer();

peer.on('open', (id) => {
  console.log('My peer ID is:', id);
});

const customPeer = new Peer('my-unique-peer-id', {
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 9000,
  path: '/myapp',
  secure: true,
  config: {
    iceServers: [
      { urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' },
      { urls: 'turn:turn.example.com:3478', username: 'user', credential: 'pass' }
    ],
    sdpSemantics: 'unified-plan'
  },
  debug: 3
});

customPeer.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('Peer error:', err.type, err.message);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Listen for Peer Events (JavaScript)

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Sets up event listeners for various PeerJS events. This includes 'open' for server connection, 'connection' for incoming data connections, 'call' for incoming media calls, 'close' when the peer is destroyed, and 'disconnected' when the peer loses its connection to the server.

```javascript
peer.on(event, callback);
```

```javascript
peer.on('open', function(id) { ... });
```

```javascript
peer.on('connection', function(dataConnection) { ... });
```

```javascript
peer.on('call', function(mediaConnection) { ... });
```

```javascript
peer.on('close', function() { ... });
```

```javascript
peer.on('disconnected', function() { ... });
```

--------------------------------

### Create Peer Object Initialization

### Answering Incoming Media Calls with PeerJS

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Demonstrates how to receive and answer incoming media calls using PeerJS. It includes obtaining the local media stream and handling remote streams. The snippet also shows how to answer a call without sending your own stream, making it a one-way call.

```javascript
let localStream;

// Get local media stream
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true })
  .then((stream) => {
    localStream = stream;
    const localVideo = document.getElementById('local-video');
    localVideo.srcObject = localStream;
  });

peer.on('call', (call) => {
  console.log('Incoming call from:', call.peer);
  console.log('Call metadata:', call.metadata);

  // Answer with local stream
  call.answer(localStream);

  call.on('stream', (remoteStream) => {
    const remoteVideo = document.getElementById('remote-video');
    remoteVideo.srcObject = remoteStream;
    console.log('Receiving remote stream');
  });

  call.on('close', () => {
    console.log('Call closed');
  });

  // One-way call: answer without sending own stream
  // call.answer(); // Remote peer sends video, you only receive
});
```

--------------------------------

### Make Video/Audio Calls with PeerJS

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Enables real-time audio and video communication using PeerJS. It utilizes `navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia` to access the local media stream, displays it, and then establishes a media call to a remote peer. The remote stream is then displayed, and call events like 'close' and 'error' are handled.

```javascript
navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true })
  .then((localStream) => {
    const localVideo = document.getElementById('local-video');
    localVideo.srcObject = localStream;

    const call = peer.call('remote-peer-id', localStream, {
      metadata: { caller: 'Alice', callType: 'video' }
    });

    call.on('stream', (remoteStream) => {
      const remoteVideo = document.getElementById('remote-video');
      remoteVideo.srcObject = remoteStream;
    });

    call.on('close', () => {
      console.log('Call ended');
      remoteVideo.srcObject = null;
    });

    call.on('error', (err) => {
      console.error('Call error:', err);
    });
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error('Media access denied:', err);
  });
```

--------------------------------

### Establish Media Connection (JavaScript)

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Initiates a media connection (for audio/video) to a remote peer. This requires the remote peer's ID and the caller's media stream. It returns a MediaConnection object, and errors should be handled via the 'error' event.

```javascript
const mediaConnection = peer.call(id, stream, [options]);
```

--------------------------------

Initiates a data connection to a remote peer specified by their ID. This method returns a DataConnection object. It's crucial to handle potential connection errors by listening to the 'error' event on the returned connection.

```javascript
const dataConnection = peer.connect(id, [options]);
```

--------------------------------

### Manage Media Connections and Streams in JavaScript

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Initiates a media call to a remote peer, handles incoming media streams, and provides options for stream manipulation like muting audio tracks. It also includes logic for automatically closing the call after a specified duration. No external dependencies are strictly required beyond a browser environment supporting WebRTC.

```javascript
const call = peer.call('remote-peer-id', localStream, {
  metadata: { roomId: 'room-123' }
});

call.on('stream', (remoteStream) => {
  console.log('Call answered:', call.open);
  console.log('Remote peer:', call.peer);
  console.log('Connection type:', call.type); // 'media'
  console.log('Metadata:', call.metadata);

  // Get stream tracks
  const audioTracks = remoteStream.getAudioTracks();
  const videoTracks = remoteStream.getVideoTracks();

  console.log('Audio tracks:', audioTracks.length);
  console.log('Video tracks:', videoTracks.length);

  // Mute/unmute
  audioTracks.forEach(track => track.enabled = false); // Mute

  // End call
  setTimeout(() => {
    call.close();
  }, 60000); // 1 minute call
});
```

--------------------------------

### Check Browser Compatibility

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Determine if the current browser supports necessary WebRTC features for data and media connections. This check is vital for progressive enhancement and user experience.

```javascript

}
if (util.supports.data) {
  console.log('Browser supports data channels.');
}
```

--------------------------------

### Configure Peer with TURN Server

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Configures the Peer object to use a TURN server for NAT traversal. This is done by passing an 'iceServers' array within the 'config' option when creating the Peer object. This enhances connectivity for users behind restrictive NATs.

```javascript
var peer = new Peer({
	config: {'iceServers': [
	  { url: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' },
	  { url: 'turn:homeo@turn.bistri.com:80', credential: 'homeo' } 
	]} /* Sample servers, please use appropriate ones */
  });
  
```

--------------------------------

### Implement PeerJS Real-Time Game State Synchronization

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Synchronizes game state between peers with low latency using PeerJS's unreliable data channels. It sends player positions at approximately 60 FPS and updates the game state on the receiving end, triggering a re-render.

```javascript
// Game peer setup
const peer = new Peer();
let gameState = { players: {} };

peer.on('open', (id) => {
  document.getElementById('peer-id').textContent = id;
});

// Connect to opponent
function connectToOpponent(opponentId) {
  const conn = peer.connect(opponentId, {
    label: 'game-state',
    serialization: 'json',
    reliable: false // Low latency for real-time gaming
  });

  conn.on('open', () => {
    console.log('Game connection established');

    // Send local player position every frame
    setInterval(() => {
      conn.send({
        type: 'position',
        playerId: peer.id,
        x: gameState.players[peer.id]?.x || 0,
        y: gameState.players[peer.id]?.y || 0,
        timestamp: Date.now()
      });
    }, 16); // ~60 FPS
  });

  conn.on('data', (data) => {
    if (data.type === 'position') {
      // Update opponent position
      gameState.players[data.playerId] = {
        x: data.x,
        y: data.y,
        timestamp: data.timestamp
      };
      renderGame();
    }
  });
}

// Handle incoming game connections
peer.on('connection', (conn) => {
  if (conn.label === 'game-state') {
    conn.on('data', (data) => {
      if (data.type === 'position') {
        gameState.players[data.playerId] = {
          x: data.x,
          y: data.y,
          timestamp: data.timestamp
        };
        renderGame();
      }
    });
  }
});

function renderGame() {
  // Render all players
  Object.entries(gameState.players).forEach(([playerId, player]) => {
    console.log('Player', playerId, 'at', player.x, player.y);
  });
}
```

--------------------------------

### Manage Multiple Peer Connections in JavaScript

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Provides a pattern for managing multiple simultaneous peer connections in a mesh network using a `Map` to track active connections. It includes functions to connect to new peers, handle incoming connections, send data to specific peers or broadcast to all, and manage connection lifecycle events like 'open' and 'close'.

```javascript
const peer = new Peer();
const connections = new Map(); // Track connections manually

peer.on('open', (myId) => {
  console.log('My ID:', myId);
});

// Connect to multiple peers
function connectToPeer(peerId) {
  if (connections.has(peerId)) {
    console.log('Already connected to', peerId);
    return;
  }

  const conn = peer.connect(peerId, {
    metadata: { timestamp: Date.now() }
  });

  conn.on('open', () => {
    connections.set(peerId, conn);
    console.log('Connected to', peerId, '- Total connections:', connections.size);

    conn.send({ type: 'hello', from: peer.id });
  });

  conn.on('data', (data) => {
    console.log('From', peerId, ':', data);
  });

  conn.on('close', () => {
    connections.delete(peerId);
    console.log('Disconnected from', peerId);
  });
}

// Handle incoming connections
peer.on('connection', (conn) => {
  conn.on('open', () => {
    connections.set(conn.peer, conn);
    console.log('Incoming connection from', conn.peer);
  });

  conn.on('data', (data) => {
    console.log('From', conn.peer, ':', data);
  });

  conn.on('close', () => {
    connections.delete(conn.peer);
  });
});

// Broadcast to all connected peers
function broadcast(message) {
  connections.forEach((conn, peerId) => {
    if (conn.open) {
      conn.send(message);
    }
  });
  console.log('Broadcasted to', connections.size, 'peers');
}

// Connect to multiple peers
connectToPeer('peer-1');
connectToPeer('peer-2');
connectToPeer('peer-3');

// Later: broadcast a message
setTimeout(() => {
  broadcast({ type: 'announcement', text: 'Hello everyone!' });
}, 5000);
```

### Listen for Data on DataConnection

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Sets up a listener for the 'data' event on a `DataConnection`. This callback function is executed whenever data is received from the remote peer. The received data is passed as an argument to the callback.

```javascript
dataConnection.on('data', function(data) {
  console.log('Received data:', data);
});
```

--------------------------------

### PeerJS Error Handling

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Details how to handle various error types that can occur with PeerJS connections. It includes specific error codes like 'browser-incompatible', 'invalid-id', and 'network' errors, along with general error handling for connections.

```javascript
peer.on('error', (err) => {
  switch(err.type) {
    case 'browser-incompatible':
      console.error('Browser does not support WebRTC');
      alert('Please use a modern browser');
      break;

    case 'invalid-id':
      console.error('Invalid peer ID:', err.message);
      break;

    case 'invalid-key':
      console.error('Invalid API key');
      break;

    case 'network':
      console.error('Network error - cannot reach PeerServer');
      // Retry logic
      break;

    case 'peer-unavailable':
      console.error('Target peer does not exist or is offline');
      break;

    case 'ssl-unavailable':
      console.error('SSL not supported by cloud server');
      break;

    case 'unavailable-id':
      console.error('Peer ID already taken');
      // Generate new ID
      break;

    case 'webrtc':
      console.error('WebRTC error:', err.message);
      break;

    default:
      console.error('Unknown error:', err);
  }
});

// Connection-specific error handling
const conn = peer.connect('target-peer-id');
conn.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('Connection error:', err);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Answer Incoming Video/Audio Call

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Handles incoming call requests by listening for the 'call' event on the Peer object. The call is answered using `call.answer`, optionally providing the local `mediaStream`.

```javascript
peer.on('call', function(call) {
	// Answer the call, providing our mediaStream
	call.answer(mediaStream);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Implement PeerJS File Transfer with Binary Serialization

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Transfers files between peers using PeerJS, supporting large files through binary serialization and chunking. It first sends file metadata (name, size, mimeType) and then the file data as an ArrayBuffer. The receiver reconstructs the file and prompts a download.

```javascript
// Sender
const conn = peer.connect('receiver-peer-id', {
  serialization: 'binary',
  reliable: true
});

function sendFile(file) {
  conn.on('open', () => {
    // Send file metadata first
    conn.send({
      type: 'file-info',
      name: file.name,
      size: file.size,
      mimeType: file.type
    });

    // Send file data
    const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = (e) => {
      conn.send({
        type: 'file-data',
        data: e.target.result
      });
      console.log('File sent:', file.name, file.size, 'bytes');
    };
    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
  });
}

const fileInput = document.getElementById('file-input');
fileInput.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  sendFile(file);
});

// Receiver
let receivedFileInfo = null;
let receivedFileData = null;

peer.on('connection', (conn) => {
  conn.on('data', (data) => {
    if (data.type === 'file-info') {
      receivedFileInfo = data;
      console.log('Receiving file:', data.name, data.size, 'bytes');
    } else if (data.type === 'file-data') {
      receivedFileData = data.data;

      // Create download link
      const blob = new Blob([receivedFileData], { type: receivedFileInfo.mimeType });
      const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
      const a = document.createElement('a');
      a.href = url;
      a.download = receivedFileInfo.name;
      a.click();

      console.log('File received and downloaded');
    }
  });
});
```

--------------------------------

### Handle Peer Open Event

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listens for the 'open' event on the Peer object, which is triggered when the Peer object is ready and has been assigned a unique ID. This ID is crucial for other peers to connect to this instance.

```javascript
peer.on('open', function(id) {
	console.log('My peer ID is: ' + id);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Handle DataConnection Open Event

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listens for the 'open' event on a `DataConnection`. This event signifies that the data connection has been successfully established and is ready for read and write operations. It's typically used to initiate data transfer once the connection is confirmed.

```javascript
dataConnection.on('open', function() {
  console.log('Data connection is open');
});
```

--------------------------------

### Browser and WebRTC Feature Detection in JavaScript

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Checks browser compatibility and specific WebRTC feature support (data, audio/video, binary, reliable channels) using the `util` object. This helps in conditionally executing code based on browser capabilities, preventing errors in unsupported environments. It logs browser information and feature support to the console.

```javascript
// Check browser type
console.log('Current browser:', util.browser);
// Output: 'chrome', 'firefox', 'safari', 'edge', 'Not a supported browser.', etc.

// Check WebRTC feature support
if (util.supports.data) {
  console.log('Data connections supported');
  const conn = peer.connect('target-peer-id');
} else {
  console.error('Data connections not supported in this browser');
}

if (util.supports.audioVideo) {
  console.log('Media connections supported');
  navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true })
    .then((stream) => {
      const call = peer.call('target-peer-id', stream);
    });
} else {
  console.error('Media connections not supported');
}

if (util.supports.binary) {
  console.log('Binary data channels supported');
}

if (util.supports.reliable) {
  console.log('Reliable data channels supported');
}

// Conditional features based on browser
if (util.browser === 'firefox') {
  console.log('Firefox-specific optimizations enabled');
} else if (util.browser === 'chrome') {
  console.log('Chrome-specific features available');
}
```

--------------------------------

### Answer Media Connection

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Accept an incoming media call and optionally provide your own media stream. This method is crucial for establishing two-way audio/video communication.

```javascript
mediaConnection.answer(stream, { sdpTransform: myTransform });
```

--------------------------------

### Peer Destroy Method

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Closes all connections, including the server connection and all existing data/media connections. Sets `peer.destroyed` to true.

```APIDOC
## Destroy Peer Instance

### Description
Close the connection to the server and terminate all existing connections. `peer.destroyed` will be set to `true`. This cannot be undone; the respective peer object will no longer be able to create or receive any connections, its ID will be forfeited on the (cloud) server, and all of its data and media connections will be closed.

### Method
`peer.destroy()`

### Example
```javascript
peer.destroy();
```
```

--------------------------------

### DataConnection Send Method

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Sends data to the remote peer over an established DataConnection. Data is serialized using BinaryPack by default.

```APIDOC
## Send Data

### Description
Sends data to the remote peer. The `data` can be any serializable type, including objects, strings, and blobs.

### Method
`dataConnection.send(data)`

### Parameters
- `data` (any) - The data to send.

### Example
```javascript
// Assuming dataConnection is an established DataConnection object
dataConnection.send({ message: 'Hello!' });
```
```

--------------------------------

### Handle Remote Stream

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listen for the 'stream' event on a MediaConnection to receive and play the remote peer's media stream. This is fundamental for displaying video or audio from the connected peer.

```javascript
mediaConnection.on('stream', function(stream) {
  // Play the remote stream
});
```

--------------------------------

### Manage DataConnection Events and Data Transfer

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Handles 'open' and 'data' events for a DataConnection object. It allows receiving data sent from the remote peer and sending data to it. Supports various data types including JSON, Blobs, and ArrayBuffers.

```javascript
conn.on('open', function() {
	// Receive messages
	conn.on('data', function(data) {
	  console.log('Received', data);
	});

	// Send messages
	conn.send('Hello!');
});
```

--------------------------------

### Send Complex Data Types over PeerJS

Source: https://context7.com/context7/peerjs/llms.txt

Illustrates sending various complex data types, including nested objects, Blobs, and ArrayBuffers, over a PeerJS data connection. It also shows how to handle file uploads by sending a File object as a Blob.

```javascript
const conn = peer.connect('target-peer-id');

conn.on('open', () => {
  conn.send({
    strings: 'Hello World',
    numbers: 12345,
    arrays: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    nested: {
      bool: true,
      float: 3.14159,
      nullValue: null
    },
    binary: new Blob(['Binary content'], { type: 'text/plain' }),
    buffer: new ArrayBuffer(8)
  });

  const fileInput = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
  fileInput.addEventListener('change', (e) => {
    const file = e.target.files[0];
    conn.send({
      type: 'file',
      filename: file.name,
      data: file
    });
  });
});
```

--------------------------------

### Peer Error Event

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Handles errors that occur within the PeerJS instance. These errors are often fatal and can lead to the destruction of the peer object.

```APIDOC
## Peer Error Handling

### Description
Errors on the peer are almost always fatal and will destroy the peer. Errors from the underlying socket and PeerConnections are forwarded here.

### Event
`error`

### Callback
`function(err)`

### Error Types
- `browser-incompatible`: The client's browser does not support some or all WebRTC features.
- `disconnected`: The peer has already been disconnected from the server.
- `invalid-id`: The ID passed into the Peer constructor contains illegal characters.
- `invalid-key`: The API key passed into the Peer constructor is invalid or not in the system.
- `network`: Lost or cannot establish a connection to the signalling server.
- `peer-unavailable`: The peer you're trying to connect to does not exist.
- `ssl-unavailable`: PeerJS is being used securely, but the cloud server does not support SSL.
- `server-error`: Unable to reach the server.
- `socket-error`: An error from the underlying socket.
- `socket-closed`: The underlying socket closed unexpectedly.
- `unavailable-id`: The ID passed into the Peer constructor is already taken (sometimes fatal).
- `webrtc`: Native WebRTC errors.

### Example
```javascript
peer.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('An error occurred:', err.type, err.message);
});
```
```

--------------------------------

### DataConnection Event Listener

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Attaches event listeners to a DataConnection to handle incoming data, connection status changes, and errors.

```APIDOC
## DataConnection Event Listeners

### Description
Set listeners for data connection events to handle various states and data exchanges.

### Method
`dataConnection.on(event, callback)`

### Events
- `data`: Emitted when data is received from the remote peer. Callback receives `data`.
- `open`: Emitted when the connection is established and ready for use.
- `close`: Emitted when either you or the remote peer closes the data connection.
- `error`: Emitted when an error occurs on the data connection. Callback receives `err`.

### Example
```javascript
// Assuming dataConnection is an established DataConnection object
dataConnection.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log('Received data:', data);
});

dataConnection.on('open', () => {
  console.log('Data connection is open');
});

dataConnection.on('close', () => {
  console.log('Data connection closed');
});

dataConnection.on('error', (err) => {
  console.error('Data connection error:', err);
});
```
```

--------------------------------

### Receive Data Connection Event

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listens for incoming connection requests from other peers. When another peer attempts to connect, the 'connection' event is emitted, providing a DataConnection object.

```javascript
peer.on('connection', function(conn) { ... });
```

--------------------------------

### Handle DataConnection Close Event

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Sets up a listener for the 'close' event on a `DataConnection`. This event is triggered when either the local or remote peer closes the data connection, indicating that communication on this channel has ended.

```javascript
dataConnection.on('close', function() {
  console.log('Data connection closed');
});
```

--------------------------------

### Handle Peer Error Events

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listens for the 'error' event on a peer. This event captures various errors, most of which are fatal and will destroy the peer. It's crucial for diagnosing connection issues and understanding the state of the peer.

```javascript
peer.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error('Peer error:', err);
});
```

--------------------------------

### Reconnect Peer to Server

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Attempts to re-establish a connection to the signalling server using the `reconnect()` method. This is only possible for peers that have been disconnected. If the reconnection fails (e.g., ID is taken), relevant error events will fire.

```javascript
peer.reconnect();
```

--------------------------------

### Peer Reconnect Method

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Attempts to re-establish connection to the PeerServer using the peer's previous ID. Only applicable for disconnected peers.

```APIDOC
## Reconnect to Server

### Description
Attempt to reconnect to the server with the peer's old ID. Only disconnected peers can be reconnected. Destroyed peers cannot be reconnected. If the connection fails, the peer's existing connections will not close, but any associated errors events will fire.

### Method
`peer.reconnect()`

### Example
```javascript
peer.reconnect();
```
```

--------------------------------

### Send Data Over DataConnection

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Sends data to a remote peer using the `send()` method of a `DataConnection`. The data is automatically serialized using BinaryPack by default and can be of various types, including objects, strings, and blobs.

```javascript
dataConnection.send(dataToSend);
```

--------------------------------

### Send Complex Data Types via DataConnection

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Demonstrates sending complex data structures, including nested objects, arrays, Blobs, and booleans, through a PeerJS data connection. PeerJS handles the serialization using BinaryPack.

```javascript
conn.send({
	strings: 'hi!',
	numbers: 150,
	arrays: [1,2,3],
	evenBinary: new Blob([1,2,3]),
	andMore: {bool: true}
});
```

--------------------------------

### Destroy Peer and Connections

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Terminates all connections and closes the connection to the signalling server using the `destroy()` method. This action sets the `destroyed` property to `true`, forfeits the peer's ID, and closes all associated data and media channels.

```javascript
peer.destroy();
```

--------------------------------

### Peer Disconnect Method

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Closes the connection to the PeerServer, leaving existing data and media connections intact. Sets `peer.disconnected` to true.

```APIDOC
## Disconnect from Server

### Description
Close the connection to the server, leaving all existing data and media connections intact. `peer.disconnected` will be set to `true` and the `disconnected` event will fire. This cannot be undone; the respective peer object will no longer be able to create or receive any connections and its ID will be forfeited on the (cloud) server.

### Method
`peer.disconnect()`

### Example
```javascript
peer.disconnect();
```
```

--------------------------------

### DataConnection Close Method

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Gracefully closes the data connection, releasing underlying resources like DataChannels and PeerConnections.

```APIDOC
## Close Data Connection

### Description
Closes the data connection gracefully, cleaning up underlying DataChannels and PeerConnections.

### Method
`dataConnection.close()`

### Example
```javascript
// Assuming dataConnection is an established DataConnection object
dataConnection.close();
```
```

--------------------------------

### Handle Remote MediaStream in Call

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listens for the 'stream' event on a MediaConnection object. This event is triggered when the remote peer's audio or video stream becomes available. The received MediaStream can then be attached to HTML media elements.

```javascript
call.on('stream', function(stream) {
	// `stream` is the MediaStream of the remote peer.
	// Here you'd add it to an HTML video/canvas element.
});
```

--------------------------------

### Handle DataConnection Error Event

Source: https://peerjs.com/docs/index

Listens for the 'error' event on a `DataConnection`. This callback is invoked when an error occurs during the data connection lifecycle. It's essential for monitoring and debugging connection problems.

```javascript
dataConnection.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error('Data connection error:', err);
});
```
