The WebTransportSendStream
interface of the WebTransport API is a specialized WritableStream
that is used to send outbound data in both unidirectional or bidirectional WebTransport
streams.
The send stream is a writable stream of Uint8Array
, that can be written to in order to send data to a server. It additionally provides streaming features such as setting the send order, and getting stream statistics.
Objects of this type are not constructed directly. When creating a unidirectional stream the WebTransport.createUnidirectionalStream()
returns an object of this type for sending data. When creating a bidirectional stream using WebTransport.createBidirectionalStream()
, the method returns a WebTransportBidirectionalStream
, and the send stream object can be obtained from its writable
property. When a bidirectional stream is initiated by the remote end, an object of this type can similarly be obtained using WebTransport.incomingBidirectionalStreams
.
WebTransportSendStream
is a transferable object.
