# Telnyx WebRTC - React Native SDK
Build real-time voice communication into React Native apps (Android & iOS) using the `@telnyx/react-voice-commons-sdk` library.
> **Prerequisites**: Create WebRTC credentials and generate a login token using the Telnyx server-side SDK. See the `telnyx-webrtc-*` skill in your server language plugin (e.g., `telnyx-python`, `telnyx-javascript`).
## Features
- **Reactive Streams**: RxJS-based state management
- **Automatic Lifecycle**: Background/foreground handling
- **Native Call UI**: CallKit (iOS) and ConnectionService (Android)
- **Push Notifications**: FCM (Android) and APNs/PushKit (iOS)
- **TypeScript Support**: Full type definitions
## Installation
```bash
npm install @telnyx/react-voice-commons-sdk
```
---
## Basic Setup
```tsx
import { TelnyxVoiceApp, createTelnyxVoipClient } from '@telnyx/react-voice-commons-sdk';
// Create VoIP client instance
const voipClient = createTelnyxVoipClient({
enableAppStateManagement: true, // Auto background/foreground handling
debug: true, // Enable logging
});
export default function App() {
return (
<TelnyxVoiceApp
voipClient={voipClient}
enableAutoReconnect={false}
debug={true}
>
<YourAppContent />
</TelnyxVoiceApp>
);
}
```
---
## Authentication
### Credential-Based Login
```tsx
import { createCredentialConfig } from '@telnyx/react-voice-commons-sdk';
const config = createCredentialConfig('sip_username', 'sip_password', {
debug: true,
pushNotificationDeviceToken: 'your_device_token',
});
await voipClient.login(config);
```
### Token-Based Login (JWT)
```tsx
import { createTokenConfig } from '@telnyx/react-voice-commons-sdk';
const config = createTokenConfig('your_jwt_token', {
debug: true,
pushNotificationDeviceToken: 'your_device_token',
});
await voipClient.loginWithToken(config);
```
### Auto-Reconnection
The library automatically stores credentials for seamless reconnection:
```tsx
// Automatically reconnects using stored credentials
const success = await voipClient.loginFromStoredConfig();
if (!success) {
// No stored auth, show login UI
}
```
---
## Reactive State Management
```tsx
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
function CallScreen() {
const [connectionState, setConnectionState] = useState(null);
const [calls, setCalls] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
// Subscribe to connection state
const connSub = voipClient.connectionState$.subscribe((state) => {
setConnectionState(state);
});
// Subscribe to active calls
const callsSub = voipClient.calls$.subscribe((activeCalls) => {
setCalls(activeCalls);
});
return () => {
connSub.unsubscribe();
callsSub.unsubscribe();
};
}, []);
return (/* UI */);
}
```
### Individual Call State
```tsx
useEffect(() => {
if (call) {
const sub = call.callState$.subscribe((state) => {
console.log('Call state:', state);
});
return () => sub.unsubscribe();
}
}, [call]);
```
---
## Making Calls
```tsx
const call = await voipClient.newCall('+18004377950');
```
---
## Receiving Calls
Incoming calls are handled automatically via push notifications and the `TelnyxVoiceApp` wrapper. The native call UI (CallKit/ConnectionService) is displayed automatically.
---
## Call Controls
```tsx
// Answer incoming call
await call.answer();
// Mute/Unmute
await call.mute();
await call.unmute();
// Hold/Unhold
await call.hold();
await call.unhold();
// End call
await call.hangup();
// Send DTMF
await call.dtmf('1');
```
---
## Push Notifications - Android (FCM)
### 1. Place `google-services.json` in project root
### 2. MainActivity Setup
```kotlin
// MainActivity.kt
import com.telnyx.react_voice_commons.TelnyxMainActivity
class MainActivity : TelnyxMainActivity() {
override fun onHandleIntent(intent: Intent) {
super.onHandleIntent(intent)
// Additional intent processing
}
}
```
### 3. Background Message Handler
```tsx
// index.js or App.tsx
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';
import { TelnyxVoiceApp } from '@telnyx/react-voice-commons-sdk';
messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async (remoteMessage) => {
await TelnyxVoiceApp.handleBackgroundPush(remoteMessage.data);
});
```
---
## Push Notifications - iOS (PushKit)
### AppDelegate Setup
```swift
// AppDelegate.swift
import PushKit
import TelnyxVoiceCommons
@UIApplicationMain
public class AppDelegate: ExpoAppDelegate, PKPushRegistryDelegate {
public override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil
) -> Bool {
// Initialize VoIP push registration
TelnyxVoipPushHandler.initializeVoipRegistration()
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
// VoIP Push Token Update
public func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry,
didUpdate pushCredentials: PKPushCredentials,
for type: PKPushType) {
TelnyxVoipPushHandler.shared.handleVoipTokenUpdate(pushCredentials, type: type)
}
// VoIP Push Received
public func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry,
didReceiveIncomingPushWith payload: PKPushPayload,
for type: PKPushType,
completion: @escaping () -> Void) {
TelnyxVoipPushHandler.shared.handleVoipPush(payload, type: type, completion: completion)
}
}
```
> **Note**: CallKit integration is automatically handled by the internal CallBridge component.

## Configuration Options
### createTelnyxVoipClient Options
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `enableAppStateManagement` | boolean | true | Auto background/foreground handling |
| `debug` | boolean | false | Enable debug logging |
### TelnyxVoiceApp Props
| Prop | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `voipClient` | TelnyxVoipClient | The VoIP client instance |
| `enableAutoReconnect` | boolean | Auto-reconnect on disconnect |
| `debug` | boolean | Enable debug logging |
---
## Storage Keys (Managed Automatically)
The library manages these AsyncStorage keys internally:
- `@telnyx_username` - SIP username
- `@telnyx_password` - SIP password
- `@credential_token` - JWT token
- `@push_token` - Push notification token
> You don't need to manage these manually.
---
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Double login | Don't call `login()` manually when using `TelnyxVoiceApp` with auto-reconnect |
| Background disconnect | Check `enableAutoReconnect` setting |
| Android push not working | Verify `google-services.json` and MainActivity extends `TelnyxMainActivity` |
| iOS push not working | Ensure AppDelegate implements `PKPushRegistryDelegate` and calls `TelnyxVoipPushHandler` |
| Memory leaks | Unsubscribe from RxJS observables in useEffect cleanup |
| Audio issues | iOS audio handled by CallBridge; Android check ConnectionService |
### Clear Stored Auth (Advanced)
```tsx
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';
await AsyncStorage.multiRemove([
'@telnyx_username',
'@telnyx_password',
'@credential_token',
'@push_token',
]);
```

<!-- BEGIN AUTO-GENERATED API REFERENCE -- do not edit below this line -->
**[references/webrtc-server-api.md](references/webrtc-server-api.md) has the server-side WebRTC API — credential creation, token generation, and push notification setup. You MUST read it when setting up authentication or push notifications.**
## API Reference
### TelnyxVoipClient
# Class: TelnyxVoipClient
The main public interface for the react-voice-commons module.
This class serves as the Façade for the entire module, providing a simplified
API that completely hides the underlying complexity. It is the sole entry point
for developers using the react-voice-commons package.
The TelnyxVoipClient is designed to be state-management agnostic, exposing
all observable state via RxJS streams. This allows developers to integrate it
into their chosen state management solution naturally.
