To track media devices, we were previously relying on a combination of LiveKit's useMediaDeviceSelect hook, and an object called UserChoices. Device settings should be accessible from outside a call, but the latter hook should only be used with a room or set of preview tracks, so it couldn't be raised to the app's top level. I also felt that the UserChoices code was hard to follow due to lack of clear ownership of the object.
To bring clarity to media device handling and allow device settings to be shown outside a call, I refactored these things into a single MediaDevicesContext which is instantiated at the top level of the app. Then, I had to manually sync LiveKit's device state with whatever is present in the context. This refactoring ended up fixing a couple other bugs with device handling along the way.
by fixing the cause rather than the symptom: this upgrades the code to use the new, recommended JSX transform mode of React 17+, which no longer requires you to import React manually just to write JSX.
This version is not supposed to properly work, this is a work in
progress.
Main changes:
* Completely removed the PTT logic (for simplicity, it could be
introduced later).
* Abstracted away the work with the media devices.
* Defined confined interfaces of the affected components so that they
only get the data that they need without importing Matris JS SDK or
LiveKit SDK, so that we can exchange their "backend" at any time.
* Started using JS/TS SDK from LiveKit as well as their React SDK to
define the state of the local media devices and local streams.
