Members

boolean

# bubbles

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.

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1820

boolean

# cancelable

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.

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1825

boolean

# composed

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.

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1830

Array

# composedPath

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.

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1874

EventTarget | null

# currentTarget

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1835

boolean

# defaultPrevented

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1840

number

# eventPhase

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1845

boolean

# isTrusted

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1850

void

# preventDefault

If 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.

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.

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1884

void

# stopPropagation

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1889

EventTarget | null

# target

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1859

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

View Source js/lib.dom.d.ts, line 1864
