Room-before-connect API
In the initial version of LiveKit, it was not possible to create a Room object before it's fully connected. That design decision made it impossible to attach event listeners onto the Room before it was connected. The new API looks like this:
const room = new Room(opts?: RoomOptions)
// attach listeners
room.on(...)
await room.connect(url: string, token: string, opts?: RoomConnectOptions)Top level connect will still be supported for backwards compatibility. Several functions have been moved as well:
createLocalTracks-> LocalParticipant.createTrackscreateLocalVideoTrack-> LocalParticipant.createTracks({video: true})createLocalAudioTrack-> LocalParticipant.createTracks({audio: true})createLocalScreenTracks-> LocalParticipant.createScreenTracks
