# packages/core/src/lib — Shared Library Modules
Non-component logic consumed by multiple components. All modules have an `index.ts` entry point.
## MODULES AT A GLANCE
| Module | Key Export(s) | Purpose |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `audio.ts` | `RTKAudio` | Manages a single `MediaStream` + `HTMLAudioElement` for all participant audio tracks |
| `grid.ts` | `useGrid`, `useGridItemDimensions` | Pure math — computes tile dimensions + CSS `{top, left}` positions for N participants |
| `notification.ts` | `RTKNotificationsAudio` | Plays join/leave/message notification sounds; respects `setSinkId` for speaker routing |
| `visualizer.ts` | `drawBarsVisualizer` | Canvas-based 3-bar audio waveform; reads bar color from computed CSS `color` |
| `overrides.ts` | `Overrides`, `defaultOverrides` | UI override flags passed via store (`disableEmojiPicker`, `disablePrivateChat`) |
| `default-ui-config.ts` | `defaultConfig`, `createDefaultConfig()` | Canonical default `UIConfig` component tree; `createDefaultConfig()` deep-clones it |
| `addons/` | `registerAddons`, `Addon` | Plugin interface + sequential application of addons to a `UIConfig` |
| `builder/` | `RtkUiBuilder`, `UIElemEditor` | Fluent API for mutating `UIConfig`; used by addons and direct config customization |
| `icons/` | `defaultIconPack`, `getIconPack`, `IconPack` | ~70 inline SVG strings; `getIconPack(url)` fetches + merges over defaults |
| `lang/` | `useLanguage`, `defaultLanguage`, `RtkI18n` | ~400-string English dictionary; `useLanguage(partial?)` returns a locale-aware lookup fn |
| `render/` | `Render`, `RenderChildren`, `lenChildren` | UIConfig-driven JSX rendering engine — bridges `config.root` to Stencil JSX |
## KEY APIs
### `RTKAudio` (`audio.ts`)
```ts
const audio = new RTKAudio(meeting, optionalAudioEl?);
audio.addTrack(participantId, mediaStreamTrack);
audio.removeTrack(participantId);
audio.setDevice(deviceId); // setSinkId — guarded by disableSettingSinkId()
audio.play(); // triggers playback; handles autoplay NotAllowedError
audio.onError((err) => {}); // register error callback
```
Used only by `rtk-participants-audio` — instantiated per meeting, tracks added/removed as participants join/leave.
### `useGrid` / grid math (`grid.ts`)
```ts
const { width, height, getPosition } = useGrid({
dimensions: { width, height }, // container px
count: N,
aspectRatio: '16:9',
gap: 8,
});
const { top, left } = getPosition(index); // CSS position for tile i
```
Pure functions — no side effects, no store access. Safe to call in `render()`.
### `createDefaultConfig` / `defaultConfig` (`default-ui-config.ts`)
`defaultConfig` is a singleton constant — **never mutate directly**. Always call `createDefaultConfig()` which returns a deep clone. The `UIConfig.root` tree defines which child web components each parent renders, including state-conditional variants using CSS-selector-style keys:
- `'rtk-controlbar'` — default children
- `'rtk-controlbar.sm'` — small-size override
- `'rtk-meeting[meeting=joined].activeSidebar'` — state-conditional variant
### `RtkUiBuilder` + `UIElemEditor` (`builder/index.ts`)
```ts
const builder = new RtkUiBuilder(existingConfig?);
const editor = builder.find('rtk-controlbar', { activeBreakoutRoom: true });
editor?.add('rtk-breakout-room-toggle');
editor?.remove('rtk-plugins-toggle');
const config = builder.build();
```
`builder.find(elem, states?)` synthesizes the config key automatically (`'rtk-controlbar.activeBreakoutRoom'`).
**STUB WARNING:** `editor.style()`, `editor.setChildrenProps()`, `editor.getChildrenProps()`, `editor.replace()` are all unimplemented — they only `console.log`. Do not rely on them.
### `registerAddons` (`addons/index.ts`)
```ts
const config = registerAddons([myAddon, anotherAddon], meeting, baseConfig?);
```
Each `Addon.register(config, meeting, getBuilder)` receives the threaded config and returns an updated one. If no `baseConfig` is supplied, `generateConfig(meeting)` synthesizes one from the meeting preset.
### `useLanguage` + i18n (`lang/index.ts`)
```ts
const t = useLanguage({ 'mic-on': 'Microphone On' }); // partial override
t('mic-on'); // → 'Microphone On'
t('unknown-key'); // → 'unknown-key' (key as fallback)
```
`RtkI18n` type: `(key: keyof LangDict | (string & {})) => string`
`defaultLanguage` has ~400 keys covering every UI string. Merge any subset to localize.
### `defaultIconPack` + `getIconPack` (`icons/index.ts`)
```ts
const icons = await getIconPack('https://cdn.example.com/my-icons.json');
// Returns merged pack — missing icons fall back to defaultIconPack
```
Icon values are raw SVG strings (injected via `innerHTML` in `rtk-icon`). The `IconPack` type is structurally derived from `defaultIconPack`.
### `Render` / `RenderChildren` (`render/index.tsx`)
```tsx
// Inside a component's render():
const defaults = { meeting, config, size, states, iconPack, t };
// Render one element (asHost = render as <Host> not wrapper div)
<Render element="rtk-meeting" defaults={defaults} asHost />
// Render an array of elements
<RenderChildren elements={children} defaults={defaults} />
// Count children without rendering (for conditional logic)
const count = lenChildren('rtk-sidebar', config, states, size);
```
`Render` resolves `computeSelectors` → `getComputedChildren` + `getComputedStyles` internally. For non-`rtk-*` tags, `div#my-id` syntax sets the element's `id` attribute.
## RENDER ENGINE INTERNALS (`render/utils.ts`)
| Function | What it does |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `computeSelectors({element, states, size, config})` | Builds priority-ordered selector list: `['rtk-stage', 'rtk-stage.sm', 'rtk-stage.activeSidebar', ...]` |
| `getComputedStyles({selectors, styles})` | Merges matched `StyleProps` objects; later selectors win |
| `getComputedChildren({selectors, root})` | Layers children operations in order: set base → `remove[]` → `addBefore{}` → `add[]` → `prepend[]` |
## ANTI-PATTERNS
- **Never** mutate `defaultConfig` directly — call `createDefaultConfig()` for a fresh mutable copy.
- **Never** use `UIElemEditor.style/setChildrenProps/getChildrenProps/replace` — stubs, not implemented.
- **Never** instantiate `RTKAudio` outside the component that owns the meeting listener — create in `@Watch('meeting')`, destroy in `disconnectedCallback`.
- **Prefer preset** over `Overrides.disablePrivateChat` for controlling private chat access.
