Gun: Integrate WebRTC

[metasean]

[RangerMauve]

Potentially we could look at webrtc-swarm for inspiration on how to add this. Or maybe even use it for establishing the initial p2p connections

@PsychoLlama has been working on learning WebRTC to add it to gun. Jesse, you should check out what ^ @RangerMauve just mentioned.

[PsychoLlama]

Thanks for the reference @RangerMauve! I'll check out...

[RangerMauve]

I use WebRTC regularly for my job so if you have any questions feel free to ping me on the Gitter chat.

[PsychoLlama]

@RangerMauve there's a lot out there to learn. I might take you up on that :)

Due to changes between 0.2.x and 0.3.0 this has been temporarily put on hold.

[PsychoLlama]

Currently under active development. You can find it here. So far, it's automatically connecting RTC peers with and without ICE trickle, but the get/put drivers haven't been hooked up yet. There is also usability and configuration work to be done.

[amark]

WebRTC isn't finished yet, but all issues relating to it should be moved to ^ its corresponding repos, not gun core. So that way each adapter can track its own bugs. So gonna close here. Thanks!

Any news on this? Repo from @PsychoLlama seems abbandoned. Did somebody else tried it with newer version or gun?

[amark]

All WebRTC libraries we've used are inconsistent, fail frequently, and don't work very well.

However, somebody recently showed us EasyRTC (https://github.com/priologic/easyrtc) which so far I've had good/reliable experience with.

Here is an example transport adapter, very small, only ~100LOC: https://github.com/amark/gun/blob/master/src/adapters/websocket.js

@iBobik we'd love it if you could help contribute a WebRTC adapter!
