Interface TouchEvent

    An event sent when the state of contacts with a touch-sensitive surface changes. This surface can be a touch screen or trackpad, for example. The event can describe one or more points of contact with the screen and includes support for detecting movement, addition and removal of contact points, and so forth.

    Properties

    altKey: boolean
    AT_TARGET: 2
    bubbles: boolean

    Returns true or false depending on how event was initialized. True if event goes through its target's ancestors in reverse tree order, and false otherwise.

    MDN Reference

    BUBBLING_PHASE: 3
    cancelable: boolean

    Returns true or false depending on how event was initialized. Its return value does not always carry meaning, but true can indicate that part of the operation during which event was dispatched, can be canceled by invoking the preventDefault() method.

    MDN Reference

    cancelBubble: boolean

    MDN Reference

    CAPTURING_PHASE: 1
    changedTouches: TouchList
    composed: boolean

    Returns true or false depending on how event was initialized. True if event invokes listeners past a ShadowRoot node that is the root of its target, and false otherwise.

    MDN Reference

    ctrlKey: boolean
    currentTarget: EventTarget

    Returns the object whose event listener's callback is currently being invoked.

    MDN Reference

    defaultPrevented: boolean

    Returns true if preventDefault() was invoked successfully to indicate cancelation, and false otherwise.

    MDN Reference

    detail: number
    eventPhase: number

    Returns the event's phase, which is one of NONE, CAPTURING_PHASE, AT_TARGET, and BUBBLING_PHASE.

    MDN Reference

    isTrusted: boolean

    Returns true if event was dispatched by the user agent, and false otherwise.

    MDN Reference

    metaKey: boolean
    NONE: 0
    returnValue: boolean

    MDN Reference

    shiftKey: boolean
    srcElement: EventTarget

    MDN Reference

    target: EventTarget

    Returns the object to which event is dispatched (its target).

    MDN Reference

    targetTouches: TouchList
    timeStamp: number

    Returns the event's timestamp as the number of milliseconds measured relative to the time origin.

    MDN Reference

    touches: TouchList
    type: string

    Returns the type of event, e.g. "click", "hashchange", or "submit".

    view: Window
    which: number

    Methods

    • Returns the invocation target objects of event's path (objects on which listeners will be invoked), except for any nodes in shadow trees of which the shadow root's mode is "closed" that are not reachable from event's currentTarget.

      MDN Reference

      Returns EventTarget[]

    • Parameters

      • type: string
      • Optionalbubbles: boolean
      • Optionalcancelable: boolean

      Returns void

      MDN Reference

    • Parameters

      • typeArg: string
      • OptionalbubblesArg: boolean
      • OptionalcancelableArg: boolean
      • OptionalviewArg: Window
      • OptionaldetailArg: number

      Returns void

      MDN Reference

    • If invoked when the cancelable attribute value is true, and while executing a listener for the event with passive set to false, signals to the operation that caused event to be dispatched that it needs to be canceled.

      MDN Reference

      Returns void

    • Invoking this method prevents event from reaching any registered event listeners after the current one finishes running and, when dispatched in a tree, also prevents event from reaching any other objects.

      MDN Reference

      Returns void

    • When dispatched in a tree, invoking this method prevents event from reaching any objects other than the current object.

      MDN Reference

      Returns void
