InputEvent: InputEvent() constructor

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨January 2020⁩.

The InputEvent() constructor creates a new InputEvent object.

Syntax

new InputEvent(type)
new InputEvent(type, options)

A string with the name of the event. It is case-sensitive and browsers set it to beforeinput, or input.

An object that, in addition of the properties defined in UIEvent(), can have the following properties:

inputType Optional: A string specifying the type of change for editable 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).
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.
