Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The BluetoothGATTDescriptor interface of the Web Bluetooth API provides a GATT Descriptor, which provides further information about a characteristic’s value.
Interface
interface BluetoothGATTDescriptor {
readonly attribute BluetoothGATTCharacteristic characteristic;
readonly attribute UUID uuid;
readonly attribute ArrayBuffer? value;
Promise<ArrayBuffer> readValue();
Promise<void> writeValue(BufferSource value);
};
Properties
BluetoothGATTDescriptor.characteristicRead only- Returns the
BluetoothGATTCharacteristicthis descriptor belongs to. BluetoothGATTDescriptor.uuidRead only- Returns the UUID of the characteristic descriptor, for example '
00002902-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb' for theClient Characteristic Configuration descriptor. BluetoothGATTDescriptor.valueRead only- Returns the currently cached descriptor value. This value gets updated when the value of the descriptor is read.
Methods
BluetoothGATTDescriptor.readValue()- Returns a
Promisethat resolves to anArrayBufferholding a duplicate of thevalueproperty if it is available and supported. Otherwise it throws an error. BluetoothGATTDescriptor.writeValue()- Sets the value property to the bytes contained in an
ArrayBufferand returns aPromise.
