Element: compositionstart event - Web APIs

Baseline Widely available

The compositionstart event is fired when a text composition system such as an input method editor starts a new composition session.

For example, this event could be fired after a user starts entering a Chinese character using a Pinyin Input method editor.

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("compositionstart", (event) => { })

oncompositionstart = (event) => { }

This interface also inherits properties of its parent, UIEvent, and its ancestor — Event.

CompositionEvent.data Read only

Returns the characters generated by the input method that raised the event; its varies depending on the type of event that generated the CompositionEvent object.

CompositionEvent.locale Read only Deprecated

Returns the locale of current input method (for example, the keyboard layout locale if the composition is associated with IME).

const inputElement = document.querySelector('input[type="text"]');

inputElement.addEventListener("compositionstart", (event) => {
  console.log(`generated characters were: ${event.data}`);
});

<div class="control">
  <label for="example">
    Focus the text-input control, then open your IME and begin typing.
  </label>
  <input type="text" id="example" name="example" />
</div>

<div class="event-log">
  <label for="eventLog">Event log:</label>
  <textarea
    readonly
    class="event-log-contents"
    rows="8"
    cols="25"
