Simple-peer: Unable to destroy peer object

[janesenaj]

I have a peer object defined as var peer = new Peer()

Calling peer.destroy() leads to the error:

ReferenceError:
process is not defined

What I'm trying to achieve is if a remote client refreshes the browser, I want all other clients to destroy the connection to that remote client.

How do you get simple-peer on the page? I think there is something wrong the way bundling is configured in your app. You need to either use browserify or configure your bundles correctly or just use pre-built simplepeer.min.js.

I'm using Angular typescript, hence:

import * as Peer from 'simple-peer'.

I'm able to get the connections and streams across peers, but just unable to destroy them.

For simple-peer to work correctly in angular you need some polyfills.
Add this to your polyfills.ts file:

import * as process from 'process';

(window as any).global = window;
(window as any).process = process;
(window as any).Buffer = [];

And install this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/process

It works! Thank you.

I thought the object was destroyed but came across #553 and realized that this was happening instead. I closed one client without destorying the peer object and 2 errors popped out after about 15s:

1. Uncaught Error: Connecton failed.
2. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_readableState' of undefined.

_readableState is a property on this, maybe you're storing peer.destroy and not peer.destroy.bind(peer) somewhere?

Turns out I didn't install process correctly... problem was resolved after installing the correct package.
