The requestData()
method of the MediaRecorder
interface is used to raise a dataavailable
event containing a Blob
object of the captured media as it was when the method was called. This can then be grabbed and manipulated as you wish.
When the requestData()
method is invoked, the browser queues a task that runs the following steps:
MediaRecorder.state
is "inactive", raise a DOM InvalidState
error and terminate these steps. If MediaRecorder.state
is not "inactive", continue to the next step.dataavailable
event containing a Blob
of the currently captured data (the Blob is available under the event's data
attribute.)None.
Return valueNone (undefined
).
InvalidStateError
DOMException
Thrown if the MediaRecorder
is currently "inactive"
; you cannot capture the recording if the MediaRecorder
is not active.
captureMedia.onclick = () => {
mediaRecorder.requestData();
// makes snapshot available of data so far
// ondataavailable fires, then capturing continues
// in new Blob
};
