Provides the API for creating and managing a WebSocket connection to a server, as well as for sending and receiving data on the connection.

Properties

binaryType: BinaryType

Returns a string that indicates how binary data from the WebSocket object is exposed to scripts:

Can be set, to change how binary data is returned. The default is "blob".

readonly
bufferedAmount: number

Returns the number of bytes of application data (UTF-8 text and binary data) that have been queued using send() but not yet been transmitted to the network.

If the WebSocket connection is closed, this attribute's value will only increase with each call to the send() method. (The number does not reset to zero once the connection closes.)

readonly
extensions: string

Returns the extensions selected by the server, if any.

onclose: ((this: WebSocket, ev: CloseEvent) => any) | null
onerror: ((this: WebSocket, ev: Event) => any) | null
onmessage: ((this: WebSocket, ev: MessageEvent) => any) | null
onopen: ((this: WebSocket, ev: Event) => any) | null
readonly
protocol: string

Returns the subprotocol selected by the server, if any. It can be used in conjunction with the array form of the constructor's second argument to perform subprotocol negotiation.

readonly

send(data:
| string
| ArrayBufferLike
| Blob
| ArrayBufferView
): void

Transmits data using the WebSocket connection. data can be a string, a Blob, an ArrayBuffer, or an ArrayBufferView.
