CompositionEvent: data property
The data
read-only property of the
CompositionEvent
interface returns the characters generated by the input
method that raised the event; its exact nature varies depending on the type of event
that generated the CompositionEvent
object.
Value

-
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.
