Web/API/RTCDataChannelEvent/RTCDataChannelEvent

This is an experimental technologyCheck the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The RTCDataChannelEvent() constructor creates a new RTCDataChannelEvent.

You will rarely if ever construct an RTCDataChannelEvent by hand; these events are normally created and sent by the WebRTC layer itself.

Syntax

 var event = new RTCDataChannelEvent(type, rtcDataChannelEventInit);

type: A DOMString which specifies the name of the event. There is only one type of RTCDataChannelEvent, so this will always be "datachannel".
rtcDataChannelEventInit: A RTCDataChannelEventInit dictionary, which has following fields:

"channel" of type RTCDataChannel, representing the data channel being concerned by the event.

"bubbles", optional, inherited from EventInit. Indicates if the event must bubble or not. Default is false.

"cancelable", optional, inherited from EventInit. Indicates if the event can be canceled or not. Default is false.

A new RTCDataChannelEvent configured as specified.

In this example, a new datachannel event is created. dc is a data channel which already exists.

var event = new RTCDataChannelEvent("datachannel", {"channel": dc});
