Responsive Radial Gradient Animation

Find preventDefault or stopPropagation JavaScript

  1. Event.prototype.preventDefault = () => {
  2.   debugger;  
  3. };
  4.  
  5. // @NOTE `stopPropagation` or `stopImmediatePropagation` could also be 
  6. // preventing events 
  7.  
  8. // Event.prototype.stopPropagation = () => {
  9. //   debugger;  
  10. // };

This is a real life saver – especially for large confusing legacy projects with lots of event logic. You can use this to track down an unwanted preventDefault and/or stopPropagation. I needed this recently to see which of many calls to preventDefault was preventing my touch events from working in a certain area.

I usually pop this into the console and step through things. If you’ve never seen debugger before read about it here…

Track Mouse and Touch Events

  1. const evts = [
  2.   'touchstart', 'touchmove', 'touchend',
  3.   'mousedown', 'mousemove', 'mouseup', 
  4.   'click', 'mousenter', 'mouseleave'
  5. ]
  6. evts.forEach(type => {
  7.   document.addEventListener(type, e => {
  8.     console.log('event: ', type)
  9.   })
  10. })

See which mouse events are able to fire on the document.

I used this recently when fixing some issues with Android Talkback. Screenreaders will swallow mouse events in some cases.

You can add pointer events too if you need them…

A demo showing how to use the keyboard snippet from yesterday. Also added a function to obtain an array of all currently pressed letter keys
