RTCDataChannelEvent()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.

The RTCDataChannelEvent() constructor creates a new RTCDataChannelEvent.

Syntax

 var event = new RTCDataChannelEvent(type, rtcDataChannelEventInit);

Values

type
Is a DOMString containing the name of the event, like datachannel.
rtcDataChannelEventInit
Is a RTCDataChannelEventInit dictionary, having the following fields:
  • "channel" of type RTCDataChannel representing the data channel being concerned by the event.
  • "bubbles", optional and defaulting to false, inherited from EventInit, and indicating if the event must bubble or not.
  • "cancelable", optional and defaulting to false, inherited from EventInit, and indicating if the event can be canceled or not.

Example

//dcs is a RTCDataChannel 
var event = new RTCDataChannelEvent("datachannel", {"channel": dc});
