RTCSctpTransport: maxMessageSize property
Baseline
2023
Newly available
Since May 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The maxMessageSize
read-only property of the RTCSctpTransport
interface indicates the maximum size of a message that can be sent using the RTCDataChannel.send()
method.
Value
An integer value giving the maximum size, in bytes, of a message which can be sent using the RTCDataChannel.send()
method.
Examples
This example shows how you might split up a string into small enough parts to send based on maximum message size.
js
// Function splits strings to a specified size and returns array.
function splitStringToMax(str, maxLength) {
const result = [];
let i = 0;
while (i < str.length) {
result.push(str.substring(i, i + maxLength));
i += maxLength;
}
return result;
}
const peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection(options);
const channel = peerConnection.createDataChannel("chat");
channel.onopen = (event) => {
const maximumMessageSize = peerConnection.sctp.maxMessageSize;
const textToSend = "This is my possibly overly long string!";
splitStringToMax(textToSend, maximumMessageSize).forEach((elem) => {
channel.send(elem);
});
};
