Opentok's API wrapped as a Polymer element for sane humans.

Install prerequisites

$ npm install & npm install -g polymer-cli

Trust the local SSL certificate

You can find the certificate in /local-https. You need this because opentok.js (esp. screen-sharing) only work properly on https:// schemes. You can find a guide on how to trust self-signed certificates for MacOS here.

Load the unpacked screen-sharing extensions

You can find extensions for each browser in the /extensions directory. For now it's just Chrome, since the latest versions of Firefox support screen-sharing without extensions.

Start a credentials server

There's a NodeJS credentials server which serves OpenTok credentials using the OpenTok Server SDK's.

You can start it with:

# You need a TokBox account in order to retrieve an actual API key and secret.
$ npm run credentials-server -- --opentok-api-key="your-api-key" --opentok-api-secret="your-api-token"

Important: When running the tests, this server is automatically started so make sure you shut down any running instances of it before running the tests.

Run the element

$ polymer serve -P https/1.1 --key local-https/server.key --cert local-https/server.crt --hostname localhost --port 3000

and visit: https://localhost:3000/components/smooth-opentok.

Important: You will be asked to visit https://127.0.0.1:3000/components/smooth-opentok. Ignore this and visit https://localhost:3000/components/smooth-opentok instead, since the SSL certificates are specifically made for localhost.

Running Tests

Ensure any running credentials server instances are shut down, then:

$ npm install -g mocha
$ npm test -- --opentok-api-key="your-api-key" --opentok-api-secret="your-api-token"
