Example

Server

var holla = require('holla');
var server = http.createServer().listen(8080);
var rtc = holla.createServer(server);

console.log('Server running on port 8080');

Note: Express 3 is no longer a httpServer so you need to do something like:

var server = require('http').createServer(app).listen(8080);

before passing it to holla.createServer

Client

Sending a call:

var rtc = holla.createClient();
rtc.register("tom", function(worked) {
  holla.createFullStream(function(err, stream) {

    var call = rtc.call("bob");
    call.addStream(stream);
    holla.pipe(stream, $("#me"));

    call.on("answered", function() {
      console.log("Remote user answered the call");
    });

    console.log("Calling ", call.user);
  });
});

Receiving a call:

var rtc = holla.createClient();
rtc.register("bob", function(worked) {
  rtc.on("call", function(call) {
    console.log("Inbound call from ", call.user);

    holla.createFullStream(function(err, stream) {

      call.addStream(stream);
      call.answer();
      holla.pipe(stream, $("#me"));

      call.ready(function(stream) {
        holla.pipe(stream, $("#them"));
      });

    });

  });
