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.
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.
An integer value giving the maximum size, in bytes, of a message which can be sent using the RTCDataChannel.send()
method.
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); }); };
