BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The BluetoothRemoteGattCharacteristic interface of the Web Bluetooth API represents a GATT Characteristic, which is a basic data element that provides further information about a peripheral's service.

Instance properties

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.service Read only Experimental: Returns the BluetoothRemoteGATTService this characteristic belongs to.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.uuid Read only Experimental: Returns a string containing the UUID of the characteristic, for example '00002a37-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb' for the Heart Rate Measurement characteristic.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.properties Read only Experimental: Returns the properties of this characteristic.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.value Read only Experimental: The currently cached characteristic value. This value gets updated when the value of the characteristic is read or updated via a notification or indication.

Instance methods

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.getDescriptor() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves to the first BluetoothRemoteGATTDescriptor for a given descriptor UUID.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.getDescriptors() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves to an Array of all BluetoothRemoteGATTDescriptor objects for a given descriptor UUID.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.readValue() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves to an DataView holding a duplicate of the value property if it is available and supported. Otherwise it throws an error.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValue() Deprecated: Sets the value property to the bytes contained in a given ArrayBuffer, writes the characteristic value with optional response, and returns the resulting Promise.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValueWithResponse() Experimental: Sets the value property to the bytes contained in a given ArrayBuffer, writes the characteristic value with required response, and returns the resulting Promise.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValueWithoutResponse() Experimental: Sets the value property to the bytes contained in a given ArrayBuffer, writes the characteristic value without response, and returns the resulting Promise.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.startNotifications() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when navigator.bluetooth is added to the active notification context.
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.stopNotifications() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when navigator.bluetooth is removed from the active notification context.

Events

characteristicvaluechanged Experimental: Fired on a BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic when its value changes.
