USBDevice

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The USBDevice interface of the WebUSB API provides access to metadata about a paired USB device and methods for controlling it.

Instance properties

USBDevice.configuration Read only Experimental: A USBConfiguration object for the currently selected interface for a paired USB device.
USBDevice.configurations Read only Experimental: An array of device-specific interfaces for controlling a paired USB device.
USBDevice.deviceClass Read only Experimental: One of three properties that identify USB devices for the purpose of loading a USB driver that will work with that device. The other two properties are USBDevice.deviceSubclass and USBDevice.deviceProtocol.
USBDevice.deviceProtocol Read only Experimental: One of three properties that identify USB devices for the purpose of loading a USB driver that will work with that device. The other two properties are USBDevice.deviceClass and USBDevice.deviceSubclass.
USBDevice.deviceSubclass Read only Experimental: One of three properties that identify USB devices for the purpose of loading a USB driver that will work with that device. The other two properties are USBDevice.deviceClass and USBDevice.deviceProtocol.
USBDevice.deviceVersionMajor Read only Experimental: The major version number of the device in a semantic versioning scheme.
USBDevice.deviceVersionMinor Read only Experimental: The minor version number of the device in a semantic versioning scheme.
USBDevice.deviceVersionSubminor Read only Experimental: The patch version number of the device in a semantic versioning scheme.
USBDevice.manufacturerName Read only Experimental: The name of the organization that manufactured the USB device.
USBDevice.opened Read only Experimental: Indicates whether a session has been started with a paired USB device.
USBDevice.productId Read only Experimental: The manufacturer-defined code that identifies a USB device.
USBDevice.productName Read only Experimental: The manufacturer-defined name that identifies a USB device.
USBDevice.serialNumber Read only Experimental: The manufacturer-defined serial number for the specific USB device.
USBDevice.usbVersionMajor Read only Experimental: One of three properties that declare the USB protocol version supported by the device. The other two properties are USBDevice.usbVersionMinor and USBDevice.usbVersionSubminor.
USBDevice.usbVersionMinor Read only Experimental: One of three properties that declare the USB protocol version supported by the device. The other two properties are USBDevice.usbVersionMajor and USBDevice.usbVersionSubminor.
USBDevice.usbVersionSubminor Read only Experimental: One of three properties that declare the USB protocol version supported by the device. The other two properties are USBDevice.usbVersionMajor and USBDevice.usbVersionMinor.
USBDevice.vendorId Read only Experimental: The official usb.org-assigned vendor ID.

Instance methods

USBDevice.claimInterface() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when the requested interface is claimed for exclusive access.
USBDevice.clearHalt() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when a halt condition is cleared.
USBDevice.controlTransferIn() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves with a USBInTransferResult when a command or status operation has been transmitted to the USB device.
USBDevice.controlTransferOut() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves with a USBOutTransferResult when a command or status operation has been transmitted from the USB device.
USBDevice.close() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when all open interfaces are released and the device session has ended.
USBDevice.forget() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves after all open interfaces are released, the device session has ended, and the permission is reset.
USBDevice.isochronousTransferIn() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves with a USBIsochronousInTransferResult when time sensitive information has been transmitted to the USB device.
USBDevice.isochronousTransferOut() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves with a USBIsochronousOutTransferResult when time sensitive information has been transmitted from the USB device.
USBDevice.open() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when a device session has started.
USBDevice.releaseInterface() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when a claimed interface is released from exclusive access.
USBDevice.reset() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when the device is reset and all app operations canceled and their promises rejected.
USBDevice.selectAlternateInterface() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when the specified alternative endpoint is selected.
USBDevice.selectConfiguration() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves when the specified configuration is selected.
USBDevice.transferIn() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves with a USBInTransferResult when bulk or interrupt data is received from the USB device.
USBDevice.transferOut() Experimental: Returns a Promise that resolves with a USBOutTransferResult when bulk or interrupt data is sent to the USB device.
