The Broadcast_channel interface represents a named channel that any browsing context of a given origin can subscribe to. It allows communication between different documents (in different windows, tabs, frames or iframes) of the same origin. Messages are broadcasted via a message event fired at all Broadcast_channel objects listening to the channel. Reference
Jsoo_broadcastchannel is a binding for the BroadcastChannel Api.
let channel = Broadcast_channel.create "my_first_channel"
let _ = Broadcast_channel.post channel (Js.string "Hello World")(* Retreive the channel *)
let channel : Js.string Js.t Broadcast_channel.t =
Broadcast_channel.create "my_first_channel"
(* You have to fix the type of the channel, you can also use [Broadcast_channel.create_with] *)
let _ =
Broadcast_channel.on
channel
(fun ev ->
(* Use the ev object *)
Js._true
)(* Retreive the channel *)
let channel : Js.string Js.t Broadcast_channel.t =
Broadcast_channel.create "my_first_channel"
(* You have to fix the type of the channel, you can also use [Broadcast_channel.create_with] *)
let _ =
Broadcast_channel.addEventListener
channel
(Broadcast_channel.message channel)
(Dom.handler (fun ev -> ... Js._true))
Js._trueOr you can use Broadcast_channel.create_with (for a more convenient usage, without type annotation)
(* Retreive the channel *)
let (channel, message_event) =
Broadcast_channel.create_with
"my_first_channel"
(Js.string "a sample")
let _ =
Broadcast_channel.addEventListener
channel
message_event
(Dom.handler (fun ev -> ... Js._true))
Js._true(* Retreive the channel *)
let channel : Js.string Js.t Broadcast_channel.t =
Broadcast_channel.create "my_first_channel"
let _ =
Lwt_js_events.async_loop
Broadcast_channel.lwt_js_message
channel
(fun ev _ ->
...
Lwt.return_unit
)I would like to sincerely thank @drup for his advice on the implementation and the design of the API !
