Variable EventTarget

Type declaration

• • new (): {
        addEventListener: any;
        dispatchEvent: any;
        removeEventListener: any;
    }

  • Returns {
        addEventListener: any;
        dispatchEvent: any;
        removeEventListener: any;
    }

    • addEventListener:function

      • addEventListener(type: string, listener: EventListener | EventListenerObject, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions): void

      • Adds a new handler for the type event. Any given listener is added only once per type and per capture option value.

        If the once option is true, the listener is removed after the next time a type event is dispatched.

        The capture option is not used by Node.js in any functional way other than tracking registered event listeners per the EventTarget specification. Specifically, the capture option is used as part of the key when registering a listener. Any individual listener may be added once with capture = false, and once with capture = true.

        Parameters

        • type: string

        • listener: EventListener | EventListenerObject

        • Optional options: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions

        Returns void

    • dispatchEvent:function

      • dispatchEvent(event: Event): boolean

      • Dispatches a synthetic event event to target and returns true if either event's cancelable attribute value is false or its preventDefault() method was not invoked, and false otherwise.

        Parameters

        • event: Event

        Returns boolean

    • removeEventListener:function

      • removeEventListener(type: string, listener: EventListener | EventListenerObject, options?: boolean | EventListenerOptions): void

      • Removes the event listener in target's event listener list with the same type, callback, and options.

        Parameters

        • type: string

        • listener: EventListener | EventListenerObject

        • Optional options: boolean | EventListenerOptions

        Returns void

• prototype: {
      addEventListener: any;
      dispatchEvent: any;
      removeEventListener: any;
  }

  • addEventListener:function

    • addEventListener(type: string, listener: EventListener | EventListenerObject, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions): void
