BroadcastChannel: name property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2022.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The name read-only property of the BroadcastChannel interface returns a string, which uniquely identifies the given channel with its name. This name is passed to the BroadcastChannel() constructor at creation time and is therefore read-only.
Values
A string.
Examples
js
// 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();
