MessageEvent

Types

event

type event = EventTypes.event

Record fields

type_
eventType

Returns the type of event, e.g. "click", "hashchange", or "submit". Read more on MDN

target
Null.t< eventTarget >

Returns the object to which event is dispatched (its target). Read more on MDN

currentTarget
Null.t< eventTarget >

Returns the object whose event listener's callback is currently being invoked. Read more on MDN

eventPhase
int

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

bubbles
bool

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. Read more on MDN

cancelable
bool

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. Read more on MDN

defaultPrevented
bool

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

composed
bool

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. Read more on MDN

isTrusted
bool

Returns true if event was dispatched by the user agent, and false otherwise. Read more on MDN

timeStamp
float

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

type eventTarget = EventTypes.eventTarget

't

Returns the data of the message. Read more on MDN

origin
string

Returns the origin of the message, for server-sent events and cross-document messaging. Read more on MDN

lastEventId
string

Returns the last event ID string, for server-sent events. Read more on MDN

source
Null.t< messageEventSource >

Returns the WindowProxy of the source window, for cross-document messaging, and the MessagePort being attached, in the connect event fired at SharedWorkerGlobalScope objects. Read more on MDN

Values

asEvent

let asEvent: t<'t> => event

Parameters

t

Return type

event

composedPath

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. Read more on MDN

let composedPath: t<'t> => array<eventTarget>

Parameters

t

Return type

array< eventTarget >

make

let make: (
~type_: string,
~eventInitDict: messageEventInit<'t>=?,
) => t<'t>

Parameters

string option< messageEventInit >

Return type

t

preventDefault

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. Read more on MDN

let preventDefault: t<'t> => unit

Parameters

t

Return type

unit

stopImmediatePropagation

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. Read more on MDN

let stopImmediatePropagation: t<'t> => unit

Parameters

t

Return type

unit

stopPropagation

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

let stopPropagation: t<'t> => unit

Parameters

t

Return type

unit
