InputEvent

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

The InputEvent interface represents an event notifying of editable content change.

This interface inherits properties from its parents, UIEvent and Event.

InputEvent.dataRead only: Returns a DOMString with the inserted characters. This may be an empty string if the change doesn't insert text (such as when deleting characters, for example).
InputEvent.dataTransferRead only: Returns a DataTransfer object containing information about richtext or plaintext data being added to or removed from editable content.
InputEvent.inputTypeRead only: Returns the type of change for editable content such as, for example, inserting, deleting, or formatting text. See the property page for a complete list of input types.
InputEvent.isComposingRead only: Returns a Boolean value indicating if the event is fired after compositionstart and before compositionend.

This interface inherits methods from its parents, UIEvent and Event.

InputEvent.getTargetRanges(): Returns an array of static ranges that will be affected by a change to the DOM if the input event is not canceled.
