twilio-video.js VS Express

A good example of this is twilio-video, a JavaScript library that lets you add real time voice and video to your web applications (like Zoom). In this library, The Room always instantiates as an empty room. The class keeps a pointer to a LocalParticipant, (when you join a video chat room you are the LocalParticipant on your screen) but the LocalParticipant doesn't actually run or become instantiated yet until it connects and is finished subscribing to the room which is only possible in running code.

Their core objects like Participant implements this pattern extensively which enable consumers of the api to create an event driven video chat experiences in their apps.

Hi. I'm still digging, but in the meantime I think it's worth registering an issue at https://github.com/twilio/twilio-video.js/issues

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
