binaryType

binaryType: BinaryType

Returns a string that indicates how binary data from the WebSocket object is exposed to scripts:

Can be set, to change how binary data is returned. The default is "blob".

Readonly bufferedAmount

bufferedAmount: number

Returns the number of bytes of application data (UTF-8 text and binary data) that have been queued using send() but not yet been transmitted to the network.

onopen

onopen: null | ((this: WebSocket, ev: Event) => any)
