Event: isTrusted property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2016.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The isTrusted read-only property of the Event interface is a boolean value that is true when the event was generated by the user agent (including via user actions and programmatic methods such as HTMLElement.focus()), and false when the event was dispatched via EventTarget.dispatchEvent(). The click event fired through HTMLElement.click() sets the isTrusted property to false.
Value
A boolean value.
Example
js
if (e.isTrusted) {
/* The event is trusted */
} else {
/* The event is not trusted */
}
