The MessageChannel interface of the Channel Messaging API allows us to create a new message channel and send data through it via its two MessagePort properties.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Properties

MessageChannel.port1 Read only
Returns port1 of the channel.
MessageChannel.port2 Read only
Returns port2 of the channel.

Constructor

MessageChannel()

Returns a new MessageChannel object with two new MessagePort objects.

Example

In the following code block, you can see a new channel being created using the MessageChannel() constructor. When the <iframe> has loaded, we pass MessageChannel.port2 to the <iframe> using MessagePort.postMessage along with a message. The handleMessage handler then responds to the message being sent back from the <iframe> (using MessagePort.onmessage), by putting it into a paragraph.

var channel = new MessageChannel();
var para = document.querySelector('p');
    
var ifr = document.querySelector('iframe');
var otherWindow = ifr.contentWindow;

ifr.addEventListener("load", iframeLoaded, false);
    
function iframeLoaded() {
  otherWindow.postMessage('Hello from the main page!', '*', [channel.port2]);
}

channel.port1.onmessage = handleMessage;
function handleMessage(e) {
  para.innerHTML = e.data;
}   

For a full working example, see our channel messaging basic demo on Github (run it live too).
