Event types

type 'a type'

The type for events which can pose as values of type 'a. See the predefined event types.

module Type : sig ... end

Event types.

type void = Type.void type'

The type for events that do not expose further data.

Events

type target

The type for EventTarget abiding objects.

type init

The type for event initialisation objects.

val init : ?bubbles:bool -> ?cancelable:bool -> ?composed:bool -> unit -> init

init is an event initialisation object with given parameters.

type 'a t

The type for Event objects which can pose as events of type 'a.

type 'a event

See t.

val create : ?init:init -> 'a type' -> 'a t

create ?init t is an event of type t initialised with init.

val as_type : 'a t -> 'a

as_type e specialises the event to its type.

val type' : 'a t -> 'a type'

type' e is the type of e.

val target : 'a t -> target

target e is the target on which e was originally dispatched.

val current_target : 'a t -> target

current_target e is the target currently handling e. See also target.

val composed_path : 'a t -> target list

composed_path e are the targets on which listeners will be invoked.

val event_phase : 'a t -> [ `None | `Capturing | `At_target | `Bubbling ]

event_phase e is e's event phase, see here for details. This picture may help.

val bubbles : 'a t -> bool

bubbles e is true whether the event can bubble up through the DOM.

val stop_propagation : 'a t -> unit

stop_propagation e prevents the propagation of e in the DOM, remaining handlers of e on the current_target are still invoked use stop_immediate_propagation to stop these. The user agent's default action for e still occurs, use prevent_default to prevent that.

val stop_immediate_propagation : 'a t -> unit

stop_immediate_propagation e is like stop_propagation but it also prevents the invocation of other handlers for e that may be listening on the current_target.

val cancelable : 'a t -> bool

cancelable e indicates whether e can be cancelled, that is whether prevent_default will succeed.

val prevent_default : 'a t -> unit

prevent_default e prevents the user agent's default action for e to happen. This may have no effect if cancelable is false, see default_prevented.

val default_prevented : 'a t -> bool

default_prevented e is true indicates whether a call to prevent_default succeded.

val composed : 'a t -> bool

composed e is the composed property of e.

val is_trusted : 'a t -> bool

is_trusted e is true if e was dispatched by the user agent and false otherwise.

val timestamp_ms : 'a t -> float

timestamp_ms e is the time in milleseconds since the POSIX epoch when the event was created.

val dispatch : 'a t -> target -> bool

dispatch e t dispatches event e on target t.

Listening

type listen_opts

The type for listening options.

val listen_opts : 
  ?capture:bool ->
  ?once:bool ->
  ?passive:bool ->
  unit ->
  listen_opts

listen_opts () are options for listen.

capture indicates if events are listened before being dispatched to descendents of the target in the DOM tree. Defaults to false.
once indicates at most a single event will be listened. If true the listener is automatically removed when invoked. Defaults to false.
passive indicates the listener never calls prevent_default on the event. If it does nothing will happen (except maybe a console warning). Defaults to false.

type listener

The type for event listeners. See listen.

val listen : 
  ?opts:listen_opts ->
  'a type' ->
  ('a t -> unit) ->
  target ->
  listener

listen ~opts type' f t is a listener listening for events of type type' on target t with function f and options opts (see listen_opts for defaults). The listener can be used to unlisten, if you don't need to, you can just `ignore` the result.

val unlisten : listener -> unit

unlisten l stops the listening done by l.

val next : ?capture:bool -> 'a type' -> target -> 'a t Fut.t

next type' t is a future that determines the next event of type type' on target t. For capture see listen_opts.
