The missing DOM events 
This is a bunch of web based dom events that can be triggered in the browser. But for backends like NodeJS.
It started out as ErrorEvent wasn't globally defined in NodeJS, so i wanted
to create a polyfill for it. And since all DOM Events is pretty much the same.
i polyfilled mostly all of them (80+ in fact).
Most of them won't even make since in a backend. But some of them are. Like the
one Deno have for instance. Some are essential for a proper web Worker, it can
for instance dispatch a ErrorEvent.
Someone who is building a macro/hotkey might want to dispatch keyboard / mouse events.
- All events extends
Event - If the event exist natively on global scope, then it will be used instead.
Install
missing-dom-events is an ESM-only module - you are not able to import it with require. If you are unable to use ESM in your project you can use the async import('missing-dom-events') from CommonJS to load missing-dom-events asynchronously.
npm install missing-dom-events
Use
import events from 'missing-dom-events'
const errorEvent = new events.ErrorEvent('error', {
message: 'An error occurred',
error: new Error('Something went wrong'),
filename: 'script.js',
lineno: 10,
colno: 5,
source: 'http://example.com/myscript.js',
type: 'unhandledrejection'
})
worker.dispatchEvent(errorEvent)Compatibility table
This is all the events that are built in into the engine natively. All of this are also what you will get out from importing this package.
