How can I handle errors when integrating a TURN server with WebRTC in React

Error Handling in TURN Server Integration

2. Error Handling in WebRTC Setup:
- WebRTC Configuration: Ensure that the WebRTC peer connection is properly configured. Common errors include incorrect TURN server URLs, missing credentials, or incorrect peer connection settings.

3. Error Handling in ICE Server Array:
- ICE Server Array Configuration: Ensure that the ICE server array is properly configured. Common errors include missing TURN server URLs, incorrect URLs, or missing credentials.

Example Code for Error Handling

javascript
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { RTCPeerConnection, RTCSessionDescription } from 'wrtc';
import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const App = () => {
  const [turnCredentials, setTurnCredentials] = useState(null);
  const [peerConnection, setPeerConnection] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    async function fetchTurnCredentials() {
      try {
        const apiUrl = 'https://<appname>.metered.live/api/v1/turn/credential?secretKey=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>';
        const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            "expiryInSeconds": 3600, // Credential expiry time
            "label": "exampleLabel" // Optional label for the credential
          }),
        });
        if (!response.ok) {
          throw new Error(`Failed to fetch TURN credentials: ${response.statusText}`);
        }
        const data = await response.json();
        setTurnCredentials({
          urls: `turn:<appname>.metered.live:3478`, // Use the appropriate TURN server URL
          username: data.username,
          credential: data.password,
        });
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error fetching TURN credentials:", error);
        setTurnCredentials(null);
      }
    }

    async function setupWebRtcConnection() {
      if (!turnCredentials) {
        return;
      }
      try {
        const peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection({
          iceServers: [
            {
              urls: turnCredentials.urls,
              username: turnCredentials.username,
              credential: turnCredentials.credential,
            },
          ],
        });
        setPeerConnection(peerConnection);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error setting up WebRTC peer connection:", error);
        setPeerConnection(null);
      }
    }

    fetchTurnCredentials();
    setupWebRtcConnection();
  }, []);

  return (
    <div>
      {peerConnection && (
        <button onClick={() => {
          // Handle peer connection events
        }}>
          Start WebRTC Connection
        </button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;
