# firepeer
Secure p2p signalling and authentication for [simple-peer](https://github.com/feross/simple-peer) using [firebase realtime database](https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/).
[](https://npmjs.org/package/firepeer)
[](https://npmjs.org/package/firepeer)

## Setup firebase
1. [Create a firebase project and setup the javascript client SDK](https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/start).
2. Add these security rules in the firebase console to secure the signalling data.
```json
{
"rules": {
"peers": {
"$uid": {
"$id": {
".read": "auth != null && auth.uid == $uid",
".write": "auth != null && auth.uid == $uid",
"$otherUid": {
"$otherId": {
".read": "auth != null && auth.uid == $otherUid",
".write": "auth != null && auth.uid == $otherUid",
"sdp": {
".validate": "newData.isString() && newData.val().length < 4000"
},
"type": {
".validate": "newData.val() == 'offer' || newData.val() == 'answer' || newData.val() == 'error'"
},
"$other": { ".validate": false }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Signaling data is exchanged in `/peers/$uid/$id/$otherUid/$otherId`. Security rules ensure that only intended users can access signalling data and signals are valid.

3. Enable your prefered sign-in method in the firebase console. Firepeer requires authentication, so at the very least, you have to select [anonymous authentication](https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/anonymous-auth).

### Install
```js
npm install --save firepeer
```
```html
```
### Usage
```javascript
//alice side
firebase.initializeApp({
//values from firebase console
});
const alice = new FirePeer(firebase);
console.log(alice.id) // peer id of alice
//authenticate with the sign-in method you enabled in the console
await firebase.auth().signInWith*()
console.log(alice.uid) // uid of alice
// connect
const connection = await alice.connect(BOB_UID, BOB_ID);
// send a mesage to bob
connection.send('hello')
```
```javascript
// bob side
firebase.initializeApp({
//values from firebase console
});
const bob = new FirePeer({
app: firebase.app()
});
console.log(bob.id) // id
//authenticate
await firebase.auth().signInWith*()
console.log(bob.uid) // peer id of bob
// wait for connection and receive message
bob.on('connection', (connection)=>{
connection.on('data', (data)=>{
console.log(data) //hello
})
})
```
Connections are just instances of [simple-peer](https://github.com/feross/simple-peer#api) already connected!
