RTCPeerConnection.onsignalingstatechange

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 RTCPeerConnection.onsignalingstatechange event handler is a property containing the code to execute whent the signalingstatechange event, of type Event, is received by this RTCPeerConnection. Such an event is sent when the value of RTCPeerConnection.signalingState changes, as the result of a call of RTCCPeerConnection.setLocalDescription() or RTCPeerConnection.setRemoteDescription().

Syntax

peerconnection.onsignalingstatechange = function;

Values

  • function is the name of a user-defined function, without the () suffix or any parameters, or an anonymous function declaration, such as function(event) {...}. An event handler always has one single parameter, containing the event, here of type Event.

Example

pc.onsignalingstatechange = function(ev) {
  console.log("onsignalingstatechange event detected!");
};

[2] Before Firefox 36, the event handler was passed the signaling state value instead of the event as required by the specification. This has been fixed.
