RTCPeerConnection.ondatachannel - Web APIs
the rtcpeerconnection.ondatachannel property is an eventhandler which specifies a function which is called when the datachannel event occurs on an rtcpeerconnection.
... syntax rtcpeerconnection.ondatachannel = function; value set this property to be a function you provide which receives as input a single parameter: an rtcdatachannelevent which provides in its channel property the rtcdatachannel which has been created.
... example pc.ondatachannel = function(ev) { console.log('data channel is created!'); ev.channel.onopen = function() { console.log('data channel is open and ready to be used.'); }; }; specifications specification status comment webrtc 1.0: real-time communication between browsersthe definition of 'rtcpeerconnection.ondatachannel' in that specification.

RTCPeerConnection.createDataChannel() - Web APIs
negotiated optional by default (false), data channels are negotiated in-band, where one side calls createdatachannel, and the other side listens to the rtcdatachannelevent event using the ondatachannel eventhandler .
... // offerer side var pc = new rtcpeerconnection(options); var channel = pc.createdatachannel("chat"); channel.onopen = function(event) { channel.send('hi you!'); } channel.onmessage = function(event) { console.log(event.data); } // answerer side var pc = new rtcpeerconnection(options); pc.ondatachannel = function(event) { var channel = event.channel;  channel.onopen = function(event) { channel.send('hi back!'); } channel.onmessage = function(event) { console.log(event.data); } } alternatively, more symmetrical out-of-band negotiation can be used, using an agreed-upon id (0 here): // both sides var pc = new rtcpeerconnection(options); var channel = pc.createdatachannel("ch...

A simple RTCDataChannel sample - Web APIs
set up the remote peer remoteconnection = new rtcpeerconnection(); remoteconnection.ondatachannel = receivechannelcallback; the remote end is set up similarly, except that we don't need to explicitly create an rtcdatachannel ourselves, since we're going to be connected through the channel established above.
