RealtimeClient

:::caution Deprecated Its no longer needed to create the client manually. You can use the product constructors, like [Video.Client](../video/video-client.mdx), to access the same functionality. ::: A real-time Client. To construct an instance of this class, please use [createClient](../00-realtime-sdk-reference.mdx#createclient). Example usage: typescript import { createClient } from @signalwire/realtime-api; // Obtain a client: const client = await createClient({ project, token }); // Listen on events: client.video.on(room.started, async (room) => {}); // Connect: await client.connect(); ## Properties ## Methods ### ~~connect~~ ▸ **connect**(): Promise Connects this client to the SignalWire network. As a general best practice, it is suggested to connect the event listeners _before_ connecting the client, so that no events are lost. #### Returns Promise Upon connection, asynchronously returns an instance of this same object. #### Example typescript const client = await createClient({ project, token }); client.video.on(room.started, async (roomSession) => {}); // connect events await client.connect(); ### ~~disconnect~~ ▸ **disconnect**(): void Disconnects this client from the SignalWire network. #### Returns void ### ~~off~~ ### ~~on~~ ### ~~once~~ ### ~~removeAllListeners~~
