Referenced types

class Event

  • readonly AT_TARGET: 2
  • readonly 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.

    MDN Reference

  • readonly BUBBLING_PHASE: 3
  • readonly 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.

    MDN Reference

  • readonly CAPTURING_PHASE: 1
  • readonly 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.

    MDN Reference

  • readonly currentTarget: null | EventTarget

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly defaultPrevented: boolean

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly eventPhase: number

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly isTrusted: boolean

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly NONE: 0
  • readonly target: null | EventTarget

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly timeStamp: number

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly type: string

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

    MDN Reference

  • readonly static AT_TARGET: 2
  • readonly static BUBBLING_PHASE: 3
  • readonly static CAPTURING_PHASE: 1
  • readonly static NONE: 0

  • Returns the invocation target objects of event's path (objects on which listeners will be invoked), except for any nodes in shadow trees of which the shadow root's mode is "closed" that are not reachable from event's currentTarget.

    MDN Reference

  • Sets the defaultPrevented property to true if cancelable is true.

  • Stops the invocation of event listeners after the current one completes.

  • This is not used in Node.js and is provided purely for completeness.
