Interface DragEvent

A DOM event that represents a drag and drop interaction. The user initiates a drag by placing a pointer device (such as a mouse) on the touch surface and then dragging the pointer to a new location (such as another DOM element). Applications are free to interpret a drag and drop interaction in an application-specific way.

Readonlycomposed

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.

ReadonlydataTransfer

dataTransfer: null | DataTransfer

Returns the DataTransfer object for the event.

MDN Reference

ReadonlydefaultPrevented

defaultPrevented: boolean

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

MDN Reference

Readonlydetail

detail: number

ReadonlyeventPhase

eventPhase: number

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

Methods

composedPath

  • composedPath(): EventTarget[]

  • 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[]

getModifierState

  • getModifierState(keyArg: string): boolean

  • MDN Reference

    Parameters

  • Parameters

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

    Returns void

    Deprecated

preventDefault

  • preventDefault(): void

  • 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

stopImmediatePropagation

  • stopImmediatePropagation(): 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
