The read-only BroadcastChannel.name
property returns a
DOMString
, which uniquely identifies the given channel with its name.
This name is passed to the BroadcastChannel()
constructor at creation time and is therefore read-only.
Note:
This feature is available in Web Workers.Syntax
var str = channel.name;
Examples
// Connect to a channel
var bc = new BroadcastChannel('test_channel');
// More operations (like postMessage, …)
// Log the channel name to the console
console.log(bc.name); // "test_channel"
// When done, disconnect from the channel
bc.close();
