BroadcastChannel: postMessage() method

Baseline 2022

Newly available

Since March 2022, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The postMessage() method of the BroadcastChannel interface sends a message, which can be of any kind of Object, to each listener in any browsing context with the same origin. The message is transmitted as a message event targeted at each BroadcastChannel bound to the channel.

postMessage(message)

message: Data to be sent to the other window. The data is serialized using the structured clone algorithm. This means you can pass a broad variety of data objects safely to the destination window without having to serialize them yourself.
