Is there a way to serialize Peer object?

[DeepBhat]

I wanted to share the Peer instance between multiple tabs using a SharedWorker, but I realized Peer objects are not really serializable and cannot be converted to a string. What are my options? Is it even possible?

Serializing is not possible, as you can transfer neither the WebRTC connection nor the connection to the PeerServer.

I think the main problem is that WebRTC itself is not available in a Worker.
Working around that, you could:

• Use PeerJS in one tab and relay messages to all tabs
• Use one PeerJS instance per tab, sharing the IDs through the worker
