BroadcastChannel: name property

{{APIRef("BroadCastChannel API")}} {{AvailableInWorkers}}

The name read-only property of the {{domxref("BroadcastChannel")}} interface returns a string, which uniquely identifies the given channel with its name. This name is passed to the {{domxref("BroadcastChannel.BroadCastChannel", "BroadcastChannel()")}} constructor at creation time and is therefore read-only.

Values

A string.

Examples

// Connect to a channel
const bc = new BroadcastChannel("test_channel");

// More operations (like postMessage, …)

// Log the channel name to the console
console.log(bc.name); // "test_channel"

// When done, disconnect from the channel
bc.close();
