# Jitsi Meet React Component

[![license](https://badgen.now.sh/badge/license/MIT)](./LICENSE)

An **_unofficial_** React component which wraps the standard [Jitsi Meet JS API](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/api.md).
It is written in Typescript to help you configure the library with ease, and get _your super important meetings_ up and going, in a blink of an eye🌪.

> ## [Live Demo](https://gatteo.github.io/react-jitsi/)

### Install

```bash
npm install react-jitsi --save
```

## Usage

### Basic

The easiest way for you to create a meeting is by simply including the React Jitsi component in your app.

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import Jitsi from 'react-jitsi'

export const App = () => (
<>

My First Meeting!



>
)
```

> However, this is **not recommended**, as it will create and join a random room (ex. `hp6y791054a`), which is possibly not unique.

### Basic, but better

We advise you to create a meeting specifying at least a room name (that you know is unique) and the user's display name.

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import Jitsi from 'react-jitsi'

const roomName = 'my-super-secret-meeting-123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000'
const userFullName = 'Joseph Strawberry'

export const App = () => (
<>

My First Meeting!



>
)
```

### A more complete example

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import Jitsi from 'react-jitsi'
import Loader from './components/Loader'

export const App = () => {

const [displayName, setDisplayName] = useState('')
const [roomName, setRoomName] = useState('')
const [password, setPassword] = useState('')
const [onCall, setOnCall] = useState(false)

return onCall
? (
console.log('Good Morning everyone!')}
/>)
: (
<>

Create a Meeting


setRoomName(e.target.value)} />
setDisplayName(e.target.value)} />
setOnCall(true)}> Let's start!
>
)

}

```

## Custom styles

The Jitsi Meet conference iframe is wrapped by two containers

```jsx







```

You can specify custom styles for each container in two ways:

- Using CSS, through the `#react-jitsi-container` and `#react-jitsi-frame` selectors
- Using inline styling, through the `containerStyle` and `frameStyle` props

For example

```jsx

```

## Conference Configuration

Configuration over both the conference [core settings](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/config.js) (such as `startAudioOnly` option) and the [interface settings](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/interface_config.js) (such as `filmStripOnly` option) can be passed through the `config` and `interfaceConfig` props.

For example

```jsx

```

## Available props

| Prop | Required | Description | Default |
| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| containerStyle | no | Object containing main container styles (see above for details) | `{ width:'800px', height: '400px' }` |
| frameStyle | no | Object containing frame container styles (see above for details) | `{ display: loading?'none' : 'block',width: '100%',height: '100% }'` |
| loadingComponent | no | Component shown until the Jitsi Meet video conference is not started | `

Loading meeting...
` |
| onAPILoad | no | Callback function invoked with Jitsi Meet API object when the library is loaded |
| onIframeLoad | no | Callback function invoked when the conference iframe is loaded |
| domain | no | Domain used to build the conference URL | meet.jit.si |
| roomName | no | Name of the room to join | A random string |
| password | no | Password to set for the meeting room |
| displayName | no | Participant's name |
| config | no | Overrides for the default meeting settings |
| interfaceConfig | no | Overrides for default meeting interface options |
| noSSL | no | Boolean indicating if the server should be contacted using HTTP or HTTPS | true |
| jwt | no | JWT token to pass to the domain |
| devices | no | A map containing information about the initial devices that will be used in the call. |
| userInfo | no | Object containing information about the participant opening the meeting |

## Controlling the Conference

The Jitsi Meet API exposes [several methods](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/api.md#controlling-the-embedded-jitsi-meet-conference) which allow great control over the conference. Such methods can be accessed through the `api` object passed as an argument to the callback specified in the `onAPILoad` prop.

For example, to retrieve the device list:

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import Jitsi from 'react-jitsi'

const handleAPI = (JitsiMeetAPI) => {
JitsiMeetAPI.executeCommand('toggleVideo')
}

export const App = () => (
<>

My First Meeting!



>
)
```
