The sample react-native App demonstrates the use of EnableX platform Server APIs and react-native Toolkit to build 1-to-1 RTC (Real-Time Communication) Application. It allows developers to ramp up on app development by hosting on their own devices.
This App creates a virtual Room on the fly hosted on the Enablex platform using REST calls and uses the Room credentials (i.e. Room Id) to connect to the virtual Room as a Moderator or Participant using a mobile client. The same Room credentials can be shared with others to join the same virtual Room to carry out an RTC (Real-Time Communication) session.

- Register with EnableX [https://portal.enablex.io/cpaas/trial-sign-up/]
- Create your Application
- Get your App ID and App Key delivered to your email
You need to setup an Application Server to provision Web Service API for your react-native Application to enable Video Sessions.
To help you try our react-native Application quickly, without having to set up an Application Server, this Application is shipped pre-configured to work in a "try" mode with EnableX hosted Application Server i.e. https://demo.enablex.io.
Our Application Server restricts a single Session Duration to 10 minutes and allows 1 moderator and not more than 1 participant in a Session.
Once you tried EnableX react-native Sample Application, you may need to set up your own Application Server and verify your Application to work with your Application Server. Refer to point 2 for more details on this.
- Open the App
- Go to EnxJoinScreen.JS and change the following:
/* To try the app with Enablex hosted service you need to set the kTry = true
When you setup your own Application Service, set kTry = false */*/
/*Your webservice host URL, Keet the defined host when kTry = true */
**const kBaseURL = "https://demo.enablex.io/";**
/* To try the app with Enablex hosted service you need to set the kTry = true */
**const kTry = true;**
/*Use enablec portal to create your app and get these following credentials*/
**const kAppId = "App-id";**
**const kAppkey = "App-key";**
Note: The distributable comes with a demo username and password for the Service.
- Open the App on your Device. You get a form to enter Credentials i.e. Name & Room Id.
- You need to create a Room by clicking the "Create Room" button.
- Once the Room ID is created, you can use it and share it with others to connect to the Virtual Room to carry out an RTC Session either as a Moderator or a Participant (Choose applicable Role in the Form).
Note: Only one user with a Moderator Role is allowed to connect to a Virtual Room while trying with EnableX Hosted Service. Your Own Application Server can allow up to 5 Moderators.
Note:- In the case of an emulator/simulator your local stream will not be created. It will be created only on a real device.
You may need to set up your own Application Server after you try the Sample Application with EnableX hosted Server. We have different variants of the Application Server Sample Code. Pick the one in your preferred language and follow the instructions given in the respective README.md file.
- NodeJS: [https://github.com/EnableX/Video-Conferencing-Open-Source-Web-Application-Sample.git]
- PHP: [https://github.com/EnableX/Group-Video-Call-Conferencing-Sample-Application-in-PHP]
Note the following:
- You need to use App ID and App Key to run this Service.
- Your React-native Client EndPoint needs to connect to this Service to create a Virtual Room and Create a Token to join the session.
- Application Server is created using EnableX Server API while Rest API Service helps in provisioning, session access, and post-session reporting.
