PopStateEvent: PopStateEvent() constructor

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since August 2016.

The PopStateEvent() constructor creates a new PopStateEvent object.

Note: A web developer doesn't typically need to call this constructor, as the browser creates these objects itself when firing popstate events.

Syntax

new PopStateEvent(type, options)

A string with the name of the event. It is case-sensitive and browsers set it to popstate.

An object that, in addition to the properties defined in Event(), has the following property:

state Optional: An object representing the state. Practically it is a value provided by the call to history.pushState() or history.replaceState(). If not set, it defaults to null.
