CompositionEvent

For compositionstart events, this is the currently selected text that will be replaced by the string being composed. This value doesn't change even if content changes the selection range; rather, it indicates the string that was selected when composition started. For compositionupdate, this is the string as it stands currently as editing is ongoing. For compositionend events, this is the string as committed to the editor. Read only.

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

A boolean indicating whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not.

A boolean indicating whether the bubbling of the event has been canceled or not.

A boolean indicating whether the event is cancelable.

Indicates whether or not the event will propagate across the shadow DOM boundary into the standard DOM.

Identifies the current target for the event, as the event traverses the DOM. It always refers to the element the event handler has been attached to as opposed to event.target which identifies the element on which the event occurred.

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not event.preventDefault() was called on the event.

Detail about the event, depending on the type of event. Read only.

Indicates which phase of the event flow is currently being evaluated.

Indicates whether or not the event was initiated by the browser (after a user click for instance) or by a script (using an event creation method, like event.initEvent)

Cancels the event if it is cancelable, without stopping further propagation of the event.

For this particular event, no other listener will be called. Neither those attached on the same element, nor those attached on elements which will be traversed later (in capture phase, for instance)

Stops the propagation of events further along in the DOM.

This property of event objects is the object the event was dispatched on. It is different than event.currentTarget when the event handler is called in bubbling or capturing phase of the event.

Returns the time (in milliseconds since the epoch) at which the event was created.

A view which generated the event. Read only.
