Properties

bubbles boolean

Returns true or false depending on how event was initialized. True if event goes through its target’s ancestors in reverse tree order, and false otherwise.

cancelable boolean

Returns true or false depending on how event was initialized. Its return value does not always carry meaning, but true can indicate that part of the operation during which event was dispatched, can be canceled by invoking the preventDefault() method.

changedTouches MouseEventArgs[]|TouchEventArgs[]

A TouchList with touched points.

clientX number

The horizontal coordinate point of client area.

clientY number

The vertical coordinate point of client area.

composed boolean

Returns true or false depending on how event was initialized. True if event invokes listeners past a ShadowRoot node that is the root of its target, and false otherwise.

currentTarget EventTarget|null

Returns the object whose event listener’s callback is currently being invoked.

defaultPrevented boolean

Returns true if preventDefault() was invoked successfully to indicate cancelation, and false otherwise.

eventPhase number

Returns the event’s phase, which is one of NONE, CAPTURING_PHASE, AT_TARGET, and BUBBLING_PHASE.

isTrusted boolean

Returns true if event was dispatched by the user agent, and false otherwise.

Returns the object to which event is dispatched (its target).

timeStamp number

Returns the event’s timestamp as the number of milliseconds measured relative to the time origin.

type string

Returns the type of event, e.g. “click”, “hashchange”, or “submit”.

Methods

Returns EventTarget[]

preventDefault

Cancel the default action.

Returns void

stopImmediatePropagation

Invoking this method prevents event from reaching any registered event listeners after the current one finishes running and, when dispatched in a tree, also prevents event from reaching any other objects.

Returns void

stopPropagation

When dispatched in a tree, invoking this method prevents event from reaching any objects other than the current object.

Returns void
