let pc = new RTCPeerConnection({...});
let dc = pc.createDataChannel("msg");
dc.onopen = function (e) {
console.log("Channel Opened", e);
};
dc.onclose = function (e) {
console.log("Channel closed");
};
let offer = await pc.createOffer();
await pc.setLocalDescription(offer);
socket.emit("offer", JSON.stringify(pc.localDescription));
socket.on("answer", function (sdp) {
pc.setRemoteDescription(JSON.parse(sdp));
});
let pc = new RTCPeerConnection({...});
pc.ondatachannel = function (e) {
console.log(e);
};
socket.on("offer", async function (sdp) {
await pc.setRemoteDescription(JSON.parse(sdp));
let ans = await pc.createAnswer();
pc.setLocalDescription(ans);
socket.emit("answer", JSON.stringify(ans));
});
Ideally ondatachannel event should be fired.
Can someone tell me that why this is not working?
Thanks in advance :)

Do npm i to install the server side dependencies.
You are never exchanging ICE candidates (i.e. the address and port to use) and that is necessary to establish a connection (which in turn is necessary to open a datachannel). You have a onicecandidate handler:
pc.onicecandidate = function (e) {
if (e.candidate)
try {
// pc.addIceCandidate(e.candidate);
} catch (e) {}
log("onicecandidate");
};
but the (commented out) attempt to add the candidate to the local connection is wrong. What you need to do is to signal it to the other side via something like
socket.emit("candidate", JSON.stringify(e.candidate));
and then add it in a handler for the candidate event along these lines:
socket.on("candidate", async function (candidate) {
await pc.addIceCandidate(JSON.parse(candidate));
});
