The InputEvent() constructor creates a new InputEvent.

Syntax

Values

typeArg

inputEventInitOptional

Is a InputEventInit dictionary, having the following fields:

• inputType: (Optional) A string specifying the type of change for editible content such as, for example, inserting, deleting, or formatting text.
• data: (Optional) A string containing characters to insert. This may be an empty string if the change doesn't insert text (such as when deleting characters, for example).
• dataTransfer: (Optional) A DataTransfer object containing information about richtext or plaintext data being added to or removed from editible content.
• isComposing: (Optional) A boolean indicating that the event is part of a composition session, meaning it is after a compositionstart event but before a compositionend event. The default is false.
• ranges: (Optional) An array of static ranges that will be affected by a change to the DOM if the input event is not canceled.

The InputEventInit dictionary also accepts fields from UIEventInit and from EventInit dictionaries.
