🎯 Type Definitions

Core WebRTC Types

// WebRTC configuration with type safety
const config: RTCConnectionConfig = {
  iceServers: [
    { urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' },

      username: 'user',
      credential: 'password'

// Type-safe WebRTC usage
const connection: WebRTCConnection = {
  async connect(peerId: string) {
    // TypeScript ensures correct parameter types
    return Promise.resolve();
  },
  
  on(event, handler) {
    // Event names and handler signatures are type-checked
  },
  
  addStream(stream) {
    // MediaStream type is enforced
