BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic

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.

Interface

interface BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic {
  readonly attribute BluetoothRemoteGATTService service;
  readonly attribute UUID uuid;
  readonly attribute BluetoothCharacteristicProperties properties;
  readonly attribute DataView? value;
  Promise<BluetoothRemoteGATTDescriptor> getDescriptor(BluetoothDescriptorUUID descriptor);
  Promise<sequence<BluetoothRemoteGATTDescriptor>>
    getDescriptors(optional BluetoothDescriptorUUID descriptor);
  Promise<DataView> readValue();
  Promise<void> writeValue(BufferSource value);
  Promise<void> startNotifications();
  Promise<void> stopNotifications();
};
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic implements EventTarget;
BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic implements CharacteristicEventHandlers;

Properties

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.service Read only

Returns the BluetoothGATTService this characteristic belongs to.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.uuid Read only

Returns a DOMString containing the UUID of the characteristic, for example '00002a37-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb' for the Heart Rate Measurement characteristic.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.properties Read only

Returns the properties of this characteristic.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.value Read only

The currently cached characteristic value. This value gets updated when the value of the characteristic is read or updated via a notification or indication.

Methods

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.getDescriptor() Read only

Returns a Promise that resolves to the first BluetoothGATTDescriptor for a given descriptor UUID.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.getDescriptors() Read only

Returns a Promise that resolves to an Array of all BluetoothGATTDescriptor objects for a given descriptor UUID.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.readValue() Read only

Returns a Promise that resolves to an ArrayBuffer holding a duplicate of the value property if it is available and supported. Otherwise it throws an error.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.writeValue() Read only

Sets the value property to the bytes contained in an ArrayBuffer and returns a Promise.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.startNotifications() Read only

Returns a Promise when navigator.bluetooth is added to the active notification context.

BluetoothRemoteGATTCharacteristic.stopNotifications() Read only

Returns a Promise when navigator.bluetooth is removed from the active notification context.
