This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The read-only property RTCDataChannelEvent.channel returns the RTCDataChannel associated with the event.
var channel = RTCDataChannelEvent.channel;
A RTCDataChannel object representing the data channel linking the receiving RTCPeerConnection to its remote peer.
The first line of code in the datachannel event handler shown below takes the channel from the event object and saves it locally for use by the code handling data traffic.
pc.ondatachannel = function(event) {
inboundDataChannel = event.channel;
inboundDataChannel.onmessage = handleIncomingMessage;
inboundDataChannel.onopen = handleChannelOpen;
inboundDataChannel.onclose = handleChannelClose;
}
