What Does "(e)" Mean in JavaScript? - Event Handler Object Explained

🐤🎉

Here it is. If you call it not an event ("e" or "event"), but an object, then everything immediately becomes clearer. This is an event OBJECT! And this object has properties: .target, .ctrlKey, etc.
Thanks for the video.

thank you so much 💟

Worst video ever. Logged e to the console and checked mdn docs. Damn, never would have thought of that.

Out of all the videos. I found this to be easiest and straight to the point. Thank you sir.

Thank you ❤

This was very confusing to me. Thanks a lot for clearing

Thank you, this video made it easier to grasp the concept behind the event object

Great explaination, thanks 👍

Very heplful, thanks so much :)

This video is really help me...

thanks mate

So to break it down for a stupid like me. Everything that is an event and is performed gets stored in a bundle of informations. In this case the e object.

Kinda confusing video, the conditional statement if(e.ctrlKey) doesn't actually check if the ctrl key is being pressed down or not, just if that property exists at all with the event object, regardless of it's Boolean value.

Thank you bro, I was stuck with this, now you explained.

you solved my code problem by uploading this short video just great 😎

As a few people have pointed out, the parameter "e" can be named anything. Other common names for the event object parameter is "ev", "evt" or "event".

Would have been nice to explain too why "e". Can it be any other variable name, I assume that 'e' is used for simplicity, shorthand and laziness. but it could be "event", or "eventProperties" or "banana" - as the developer sees fit.

What an incredibly bad video. What you're explaining in this video is what's inside the parameter passed to the callback function you provide to an event listener. But in your title you say that this is always the case when you see (e) in some code. Even in this case it 'e' can be named no matter what, some people like to name it 'event' etc...

Thank you, perfect explanation

great explanation!

That was awesome. Thank you. When you showed console.log(e) and it was an object! my mind was blown

Brilliant as usual.

(e) contain informations about event

thank you

I get a pointerEvent instead of mouseEvent is that wrong?
