RTCPeerConnection: iceGatheringState property
The iceGatheringState
read-only property of the RTCPeerConnection
interface returns a string that describes the overall ICE gathering state for this connection.
This lets you detect, for example, when collection of ICE candidates has finished.
You can detect when the value of this property changes by watching for an event of type icegatheringstatechange
.
Note that iceGatheringState
represents the overall gathering state of the connection, including every RTCIceTransport
used by every RTCRtpSender
and every RTCRtpReceiver
on the entire connection.
This contrasts with RTCIceTransport.gatheringState
, which represents the gathering state for a single transport.
Value
The possible values are:
new
-
The peer connection was just created and hasn't done any networking yet.
gathering
-
The ICE agent is in the process of gathering candidates for the connection.
complete
-
The ICE agent has finished gathering candidates. If something happens that requires collecting new candidates, such as a new interface being added or the addition of a new ICE server, the state will revert to
gathering
to gather those candidates.
Example
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection();
const state = pc.iceGatheringState;
