RTCPeerConnection.setLocalDescription()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The RTCPeerConnection.setLocalDescription() method changes the local description associated with the connection. This description specifies the properties of the local end of the connection, including the media format. The actual connection is affected by this change, so it must be able to support both the old and new descriptions in order for the change to actually take place. The method takes a single parameter—the session description—and it returns a Promise which is fulfilled once the description has been changed, asynchronously.

Syntax

aPromise = pc.setLocalDescription(sessionDescription);

pc.setLocalDescription(sessionDescription, successCallback, errorCallback);  

Parameters

sessionDescription
An RTCSessionDescriptionInit or RTCSessionDescription which specifies the configuration to be applied to the local end of the connection.

Return value

A Promise which is fulfilled once the value of RTCPeerConnection.localDescription is successfully changed or rejected if the change cannot be applied (for example, if the specified description is incompatible with one or both of the peers on the connection).

The process of changing descriptions actually involves intermediary steps handled by the WebRTC layer to ensure that an active connection can be changed without losing the connection if the change does not succeed. See "Pending and current descriptions" in WebRTC connectivity for more details on this process.

Deprecated parameters

In older code and documentation, you may see a callback-based version of this function used. This has been deprecated and its use is strongly discouraged. You should update any existing code to use the Promise-based version of setLocalDescription() instead. The parameters for the older form of setLocalDescription() are described below, to aid in updating existing code.

successCallback
A JavaScript Function which accepts no input parameters to be be called once the description has been successfully set. At that time, the offer can be sent to a remote peer via the signaling server.
errorCallback
A function matching the signautre RTCPeerConnectionErrorCallback which gets called if the description can't be set. It takes one input parameter:
  • errorInformation: A DOMString describing the reason why the description couldn't be set.

This deprecated form of the method returns instantaneously without waiting for the actual setting to be done: in case of success, the successCallback will be called; in case of failure, the errorCallback will be called.

Deprecated exceptions

When using the deprecated callback-based version of setLocalDescription(), the following exceptions may occur:

InvalidStateError
The connection's signalingState is "closed", indicating that the connection is not currently open, so negotiation cannot take place.
InvalidSessionDescriptionError
The RTCSessionDescription specified by the sessionDescription parameter is invalid.

Example

In the example below, we see the implementation of a handler for the negotiationneeded event.

function handleNegotiationNeededEvent() {
  pc.createOffer().then(function(offer) {
    return pc.setLocalDescription(offer);
  })
  .then(function() {
    // Send the offer to the remote peer using the signaling server
  })
  .catch(reportError);
}

This begins by creating an offer by calling createOffer(); when that succeeds, we call setLocalDescription(). The fulfillment handler for that promise can then send the newly-created offer along to the other peer using the signaling server.
