SIP.Transport

SIP.js Transport provides a parent class in which an implementation transport layer is built on top of. This layer handles the actual sending and receiving of SIP requests and responses.

Construction

The construction of a transport is not meant to be done manually. Instead, SIP.js user agents create a transport to use for themselves. As of 0.11.0, transport in SIP.js represents a generic layer upon which an implementation is built, with websockets being the default. A transport implementation can be specified in the UA passing in the constructor as the transportConstructor configuration option. Any configuration options required for the transport layer will be passed in as the transportOptions UA configuration option.

When constructed, the UA will assign the new Transport as its own transport property before automatically attempting to connect (configurable by ua.configuration.autostart).

Instance Methods

send(msg)

Send a message and automatically emits a messageSent event. Implementation delegated to abstract method sendPromise.

Parameters

Name Mandatory? Type Description
msg Yes SIP.OutgoingRequest | String A SIP Request (represented as a String or SIP.OutgoingRequest) to send along the WebSocket.
options No Object Object to pass to sendPromise()

Returns

Promise

sendPromise()

Abstract Implementation of sending a message over the transport. MUST return a promise that resolves with an object with mandatory parameter msg and optional parameter overrideEvent.

Parameters

Name Mandatory? Type Description
msg Yes SIP.OutgoingRequest | String A SIP Request (represented as a String or SIP.OutgoingRequest) to send along the WebSocket.
options No Object Options to pass to the implementation

Returns

Promise that resolves with an object with 2 parameters, overrideEvent and msg.

Name Mandatory? Type Description
msg Yes String A SIP Request (represented as a String or SIP.OutgoingRequest) to send along the WebSocket.
overrideEvent No Boolean If set to true, the default messageSent event emitted by send() will not be emitted. If you override the event in this fashion, you SHOULD emit it in your implementation of sendPromise()

connect()

Connects the transport and automatically emits a connected event. Implementation is delegated to abstract method connectPromise().

Parameters

Name Mandatory? Type Description
options No Object Object to pass to connectPromise()

Returns

Promise

connectPromise()

Abstract Implementation of connecting the transport. Called by connect(). MUST return a promise that resolves with an object.

Returns

Promise that resolves with an object with properties:

Name Mandatory? Type Description
overrideEvent No Boolean If set to true, the default connected event emitted by connect() will not be emitted. If you override the event in this fashion, you SHOULD emit it in your implementation of connectPromise()

disconnect()

Disconnects the transport and automatically emits a disconnected event. Implementation is delegated to abstract method disconnectPromise().

Parameters

Name Mandatory? Type Description
options No Object Object to pass to disconnectPromise()

Returns

Promise

disconnectPromise()

Abstract Implementation of disconnecting the transport. Called by disconnect(). MUST return a promise that resolves with an object.

Returns

Promise that resolves with an object with properties:

Name Mandatory? Type Description
overrideEvent No Boolean If set to true, the default disconnected event emitted by disconnect() will not be emitted. If you override the event in this fashion, you SHOULD emit it in your implementation of disconnectPromise()

isConnected()

Abstract

Returns

Type Description
Boolean true if the connection is established, false otherwise

afterConnected()

If the transport is connected, the callback is executed immediately- otherwise sets up a once listener on own connected event supplying the given callback. Checks connection state via own isConnected() method.

Parameters

Name Type Description
callback Function A callback to be executed

Events

Transport objects extends EventEmitter interface. Each event emitted by the transport passes specific relevant arguments to its callbacks. Additional events MAY be added for child implementations.

connecting

Fired when the transport is attempting to connect.

on('connecting', function() {})

There are no documented arguments for this event.

connected

Fired when the connection is established.

on('connected', function () {})

There are no documented arguments for this event.

disconnecting

Fired when the connection is attempting to disconnect.

on('disconnecting', function() {})

There are no documented arguments for this event.

disconnected

Fired when the connection is interrupted or lost

on('disconnected', function () {})

There are no documented arguments for this event.

messageSent

Fired when a message is sent over the transport

on('messageSent', function (message) {})

Arguments

message - String - The message that was sent

message

Fired when a message is received over the transport

on('message', function (message) {})

Arguments

message - String - The message that was received

transportError

Fired when an error occurs in the transport layer and other layers need to be notified

on('transportError', function () {})

There are no documented arguments for this event.
