KeyboardEvent constructor

KeyboardEvent(
  1. String type,
  2. {Window view,
  3. bool canBubble: true,
  4. bool cancelable: true,
  5. int location,
  6. int keyLocation,
  7. bool ctrlKey: false,
  8. bool altKey: false,
  9. bool shiftKey: false,
  10. bool metaKey: false}
)

Programmatically create a KeyboardEvent.

Due to browser differences, keyCode, charCode, or keyIdentifier values cannot be specified in this base level constructor. This constructor enables the user to programmatically create and dispatch a KeyboardEvent, but it will not contain any particular key content. For programmatically creating keyboard events with specific key value contents, see the custom Event KeyEvent.

Implementation

factory KeyboardEvent(String type,
    {Window view,
    bool canBubble: true,
    bool cancelable: true,
    int location,
    int keyLocation, // Legacy alias for location
    bool ctrlKey: false,
    bool altKey: false,
    bool shiftKey: false,
    bool metaKey: false}) {
  if (view == null) {
    view = window;
  }
  location ??= keyLocation ?? 1;
  KeyboardEvent e = document._createEvent("KeyboardEvent");
  e._initKeyboardEvent(type, canBubble, cancelable, view, "", location,
      ctrlKey, altKey, shiftKey, metaKey);
  return e;
}
