RTCDataChannel

Das RTCDataChannel Interface repräsentiert einen bidirektionalen Datenkanal zwischen zwei Endpunkten einer direkten Verbindungen.

Ein Objekt dieses Types kann mit RTCDataChannel.createDataChannel() erstellt, oder als Rückgabewert des Events datachannel als Typ RTCDataChannelEvent bei einer bestehenden RTCPeerConnection zurückgegeben werden.

Properties

RTCDataChannel.label Read only

Gibt ein DOMString zurück. Dieser beinhaltet den Namen, welcher den Datenkanal beschreibt. Es gibt keine Einschränkung der Einzigartigkeit.

RTCDataChannel.ordered Read only

Gibt ein Boolean zurück, der aussagt ob das Empfangen der Nachricht garantiert ist, oder nicht

RTCDataChannel.protocol Read only

Returns a DOMString containing the name of the subprotocol in use. If none, it returns "".

RTCDataChannel.id Read only

Returns an unsigned short being a unique id for the channel. It is set at the creation of the RTCDataChannel object.

RTCDataChannel.readyState Read only

Returns an enum of the type RTCDataChannelState representing the state of the underlying data connection. It can be one of the following values:

• "connecting" is the state indicating that the underlying connection is not yet set up and active. This is the initial state of a data channel created with RTCPeerConnection.createDataChannel().
• "open" is the state indicating that the underlying connection is up and running. This is the initial state of a data channel dispatched in a RTCDataChannelEvent.
• "closing" is the state indicating that the underlying connection is in the process of shutting down. No new sending task is accepting but the cached messages are in the process of being sent, or received.
• "closed" is the state indicating that the underlying connection has been shut down (or couldn't be established).

RTCDataChannel.bufferedAmount Read only

Returns an unsigned long containing the amount of bytes that have been queued for sending: that is the amount of data requested to be transmitted via RTCDataChannel.send() that has not been sent yet. Note that if the channel is closed, the buffering continues.

RTCDataChannel.binaryType

Is a DOMString indicating the type of binary data transmitted by the connection. This should be either "blob" if Blob objects are being used or "arraybuffer" if ArrayBuffer objects are being used. Initially it is set to "blob".

RTCDataChannel.maxPacketLifeType Read only

Is an unsigned short indicating the length in milliseconds of the window in when messaging happens in unreliable mode.

RTCDataChannel.maxRetransmits Read only

Is an unsigned short indicating the maximum amount of retransmissions that can happen when messaging happens in unreliable mode.

RTCDataChannel.negotiated Read only

Is a Boolean indicating if the channel has been negotiated by the application, or not.

DataChannel.reliable Read only

Is a Boolean indicating if the connection can send message in unreliable mode.

DataChannel.stream Read only

Is an obsolete synonym for RTCDataChannel.id.

Event Handlers

RTCDataChannel.onopen

Is the event handler called when the open event is received. Such an event is sent when a the underlying data transport, that is the data connection, has been established.

RTCDataChannel.onmessage

Is the event handler called when the message event is received. Such an event is sent when a message is available on the data connection.

RTCDataChannel.onclose

Is the event handler called when the close event is received. Such an event is sent when the underlying data transport has been closed.

RTCDataChannel.onerror

Is the event handler called when the error event is received. Such an event is sent when an error has been encountered.

Methods

RTCDataChannel.close()

Closes the channel. The closing is done in a non abrupt way. The state of the channel is set to "closing", the messages not yet sent are sent, then the channel is closed.

RTCDataChannel.send()

Sends the data in parameter over the channel. The data can be a DOMString, a Blob, an ArrayBuffer or an ArrayBufferView.

Example

var pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
var dc = pc.createDataChannel("my channel");

dc.onmessage = function (event) {
  console.log("received: " + event.data);
};

dc.onopen = function () {
  console.log("datachannel open");
};

dc.onclose = function (
  console.log("datachannel close");
};
