This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The RTCPeerConnection.ondatachannel
property is an EventHandler
which specifies a function which is called when the datachannel
event occurs on an RTCPeerConnection
. This event, of type RTCDataChannelEvent
, is sent when an RTCDataChannel
is added to the connection by the remote peer calling createDataChannel()
.
At the time this event is received, the RTCDataChannel
it indicates may not yet actually be open. Be sure to wait for the "open"
event to be fired on the new RTCDataChannel
before using it.
RTCPeerConnection.ondatachannel = function;
Set this property to be a function you provide which receives as input a single parameter: an RTCDataChannelEvent
which provides in its channel
property the RTCDataChannel
which has been created.
pc.ondatachannel = function(ev) { console.log('Data channel is created!'); ev.channel.onopen = function() { console.log('Data channel is open and ready to be used.'); }; };
