Overview

BluetoothDevice provides information regarding a given remote bluetooth device.

Interface

• BluetoothDevice
• BluetoothDeviceAttribute

BluetoothDevice

interface BluetoothDevice: EventTarget
{
  readonly attribute DOMString              address;
  readonly attribute BluetoothClassOfDevice cod;
  readonly attribute DOMString              name;
  readonly attribute boolean                paired;
  readonly attribute any                    uuids; // array of DOMString

  attribute EventHandler onattributechanged;

  // DOMString[]
  Promise<any> fetchUuids();
};

BluetoothDeviceAttribute

enum BluetoothDeviceAttribute
{
  "cod",
  "name",
  "paired",
  "uuids"
}

Properties

• BluetoothDevice.address
• BluetoothDevice.cod
• BluetoothDevice.name
• BluetoothDevice.paired
• BluetoothDevice.uuids

address

Description

The address property provides the address of the device on the bluetooth micro-network.

Value type

DOMString

Default value

Empty string ("")

Sample

var address = device.address;

cod

Description

The cod property is a BluetoothClassOfDevice object that provides much information about the device's capabilities.

Value type

BluetoothClassOfDevice

Default value

A BluetoothClassOfDevice object whose attributes are default values.

Sample

var cod = device.cod;

var majorDeviceClass = cod.BluetoothMajorDeviceClass;
var majorServiceClass = cod.BluetoothMajorServiceClass;
var minorDeviceClass = cod.BluetoothMinorDeviceClass;

name

Description

The name property is the human readable name of the device.

Value type

DOMString

Default value

Empty string ("")

Sample

var name = device.name;

paired

Description

The paired property indicates whether this remote device is paired to current device's adapter (true) or not (false).

Value type

boolean

Default value

false

Sample

var paired = device.paired;

uuids

Description

The uuids property stores the cached UUID list of each bluetooth service that the remote device provides. If the up-to-date UUID list is required, call fetchUuids() to update this attribute.

Value type

An array of DOMString

Default value

An empty array (array with length = 0)

Sample

var uuids = device.uuids;

Event Handlers

• BluetoothDevice.onattributechanged

onattributechanged

Description

A handler to trigger when on of the remote device's properties has changed. Note access to the changed property in this event handler would get the updated value.

Paramter

aAttributeEvent

The event is a BluetoothAttributeEvent with property attr as a BluetoothDeviceAttribute.

Sample

device.onattributechanged = function(evt) {
  var attr = evt.attr;
  var value = evt.value;

  switch (attr) {
    case BluetoothDeviceAttribute.name:
      console.log("device name changed to", value);
      break;
    case BluetoothDeviceAttribute.paired:
      console.log("device paired changed to", value);
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
}

Methods

• BluetoothDevice.fetchUuids()

fetchUuids()

Description

The method fetches the up-to-date UUID list of each bluetooth service that the device provides.

Return

A Promise to indicate whether the operation is resolved or rejected. If the Promise is resolved, it returns a DOMString array.

Sample

device.fetchUuids().then { function onResolve(uuids) {
  for (var i = 0; i < uuids.length; i++) {   
    console.log("uuid", i, "is", uuids[i]);
  }
}, function onReject(aReason) {
  console.log("Rejected with this reason: " + aReason);
});
