BluetoothGatt (Firefox OS)

The BluetoothGatt interface of the Web Bluetooth API handles initial communications and connections with Gatt services.

Properties

BluetoothGatt.services Read only

Returns the list of GATT services offered by the remote LE device. This property is set to an empty array by default before a connection is established.

BluetoothGatt.connectionState

The current connection state of GATT client to the remote LE device. This property is set to disconnected by default, before a connection is established.

Event handlers

BluetoothGatt.oncharacteristicchanged

Defines a handler to trigger as a result of the characteristicchanged event firing; this occurs when a remote characteristic changes.

BluetoothGatt.onconnectionstatechanged

Defines a handler to trigger as a result of the connectionstatechanged event firing; this occurs when the connection state of the GATT client to the remote LE device (i.e. the BluetoothGatt.connectionState property) changes.

Methods

BluetoothGatt.connect()

Connects to the remote LE device.

BluetoothGatt.disconnect()

Disconnects an already-established connection to a remote LE device.

BluetoothGatt.discoverServices()

Discovers services, characteristics, and descriptors offered by the remote GATT server.

BluetoothGatt.readRemoteRssi()

Reads the RSSI for a connected remote LE device.

BluetoothGatt.beginReliableWrite()

Initiates a reliable write transaction for the remote LE device.

BluetoothGatt.executeReliableWrite()

Executes all queued up characteristic value write operations for the remote LE device.

BluetoothGatt.abortReilableWrite()

Cancels all queued characteristic value write operations for the remote LE device.
