An event which takes place in the DOM.
Properties Jump to heading
Jump to headingbubbles: booleanReturns 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.
Jump to headingcancelBubble: booleanJump to headingcancelable: booleanReturns 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.
Jump to headingcomposed: booleanReturns 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.
Jump to headingcurrentTarget: EventTarget | nullReturns the object whose event listener's callback is currently being invoked.
Jump to headingdefaultPrevented: booleanReturns true if preventDefault() was invoked successfully to indicate cancellation, and false otherwise.
Jump to headingeventPhase: numberReturns the event's phase, which is one of NONE, CAPTURING_PHASE, AT_TARGET, and BUBBLING_PHASE.
Jump to headingisTrusted: booleanReturns true if event was dispatched by the user agent, and false otherwise.
Jump to headingreturnValue: booleanJump to headingsrcElement: EventTarget | nullJump to headingtarget: EventTarget | nullReturns the object to which event is dispatched (its target).
Jump to headingtimeStamp: numberReturns the event's timestamp as the number of milliseconds measured relative to the time origin.
Jump to headingtype: stringReturns the type of event, e.g. "click", "hashchange", or "submit".
Jump to headingNONE: 0Jump to headingCAPTURING_PHASE: 1Jump to headingAT_TARGET: 2Jump to headingBUBBLING_PHASE: 3Methods Jump to heading
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.
Jump to headinginitEvent(type: string,bubbles?: boolean,cancelable?: boolean,): voidJump to headingpreventDefault(): voidIf invoked when the cancelable attribute value is true, and while executing a listener for the event with passive set to false, signals to the operation that caused event to be dispatched that it needs to be canceled.
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.
Jump to headingstopPropagation(): voidWhen dispatched in a tree, invoking this method prevents event from reaching any objects other than the current object.
