Events

changeCustomEvent

This event is triggered when the query builder's value is changed.

Bubbles Yes
Cancelable No
Interface CustomEvent
Event handler property onChange

Arguments

evCustomEvent

ev.detailObject

ev.detail.item - The item that is being dragged.

ev.detail.data - The data of the item that is being dragged.

ev.detail.originalEvent - The original event.

Methods

isDefaultPrevented

Returns true if the event was prevented by any of its subscribers.

Returns

boolean true if the default action was prevented. Otherwise, returns false.

preventDefault

The preventDefault() method prevents the default action for a specified event. In this way, the source component suppresses the built-in behavior that follows the event.

stopPropagation

The stopPropagation() method of the Event interface prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases.

Try a demo showcasing the change event.

Example

Set up the event handler of change event.

Bubbles Yes
Cancelable Yes
Interface CustomEvent
Event handler property onDragEnd

Arguments

evCustomEvent

ev.detailObject

ev.detail.item - The item that is being dragged.
