Event: Event() constructor - Web APIs

Event: Event() constructor

Baseline Widely available

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The Event() constructor creates a new Event object. An event created in this way is called a synthetic event, as opposed to an event fired by the browser, and can be dispatched by a script.

Syntax
new Event(type)
new Event(type, options)
Values
type

A string with the name of the event.

options Optional

An object with the following properties:

bubbles Optional

A boolean value indicating whether the event bubbles. The default is false.

cancelable Optional

A boolean value indicating whether the event can be cancelled. The default is false.

composed Optional

A boolean value indicating whether the event will trigger listeners outside of a shadow root (see Event.composed for more details). The default is false.

Return value

A new Event object.

Example
// create a look event that bubbles up and cannot be canceled

const evt = new Event("look", { bubbles: true, cancelable: false });
document.dispatchEvent(evt);

// event can be dispatched from any element, not only the document
myDiv.dispatchEvent(evt);
