Closes #68


Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved meeting startup reliability with clearer loading and error states.
    • Added retry support when the meeting cannot initialize within the expected time.
    • Displayed connection errors instead of leaving an empty meeting frame.
    • Improved handling of meeting domains, authentication, and cleanup when leaving a meeting.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The Jitsi meeting component now uses @jitsi/react-sdk. It normalizes domains, validates required inputs, manages loading and error states, handles initialization timeouts, supports retries, and cleans up API listeners. Tests cover SDK configuration and recovery behavior.

Changes

Jitsi SDK integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
SDK lifecycle and meeting configuration
components/organisms/jitsi/JitsiMeeting.jsx
The component uses the React SDK with normalized domains, meeting configuration, lifecycle callbacks, iframe sizing, timeout handling, listener cleanup, and retry remounting.
Validation and recovery states
components/organisms/jitsi/JitsiMeeting.jsx
The component renders distinct states for missing room names, unavailable JWTs, initialization errors, and retry actions.
SDK behavior tests
__tests__/jitsi/JitsiMeeting.test.jsx
Tests verify SDK props, loading output, timeout recovery, retry remounting, and connection error alerts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~40 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1f838

The PR stabilizes meeting startup and recovery, but an empty domain configuration or changes to meeting inputs can still prevent an active meeting from loading correctly, and stale SDK callbacks may interfere with retry or close recovery. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded initialization and lifecycle risks.

never receives an empty domain.
- Around line 63-65: Update the effect in JitsiMeeting so the initialization
timeout is armed only for a fresh mount identity, not when jwt,
normalizedDomain, or roomName changes while the existing meeting/API is retained
via key={attempt}; preserve the ready meeting instead of resetting it to loading
and showing an error. Use the existing timeoutRef and meeting identity logic
around showError to gate timeout setup.

Use meet.jit.si when NEXT_PUBLIC_JITSI_DOMAIN is empty

If NEXT_PUBLIC_JITSI_DOMAIN="", the configuration accepts it, normalizeDomain preserves it, and JitsiMeeting receives an empty domain. Treat empty domains as invalid before normalization.

@jitsi/react-sdk 1.4.4 JitsiMeeting implementation props update onApiReady remount

💡 Result:

In @jitsi/react-sdk version 1.4.4, the onApiReady prop is a callback triggered once the Jitsi Meet External API has been successfully initialized and loaded [1][2]. This callback provides access to the externalApi instance, allowing you to attach event listeners or execute commands (e.g., api.executeCommand('toggleTileView')) [3][4]. Regarding component remounts and prop updates: 1. Lifecycle Behavior: The JitsiMeeting component acts as a wrapper around the Jitsi Meet IFrame API. When the JitsiMeeting component unmounts and remounts, the internal IFrame is destroyed and re-initialized, which triggers onApiReady again. 2. Prop Updates: Changes to core props (like roomName or jwt) typically cause the underlying IFrame to reload to apply the new configuration. If you pass an unstable reference to onApiReady—such as an anonymous arrow function defined inside the component render body—that function reference will change on every re-render, potentially causing unnecessary re-triggers or re-evaluations depending on how the component handles memoization. 3. Recommendation for Stability: To avoid issues related to unwanted re-initialization or reference changes, wrap your onApiReady callback in a useCallback hook. This ensures the function reference remains stable across re-renders: const handleApiReady = useCallback((externalApi) => { console.log('Jitsi API is ready', externalApi); // Add your event listeners or command execution here }, []); // Empty dependencies if no external state is needed <JitsiMeeting... onApiReady={handleApiReady} /> If you observe the component remounting unexpectedly, verify that the parent component is not triggering a full re-render that causes the JitsiMeeting component to be replaced in the DOM tree, as this will force a complete teardown and restart of the meeting session [1][4].

Do not restart the loading timeout for an existing meeting.

When jwt, normalizedDomain, or roomName changes, the effect resets status to 'loading' and starts a new timeout. Because the SDK element keeps key={attempt}, @jitsi/react-sdk 1.4.4 retains its initialized API and does not call onApiReady again. The timeout can therefore replace a ready meeting with the error UI. Arm the timeout only for a fresh mount identity.
