The following event classes are supported by XD:

• BaseUIEvent
• CloseEvent
• Event
• EventTarget
• FocusEvent
• GestureEvent
• KeyboardEvent
• MessageEvent
• PointerEvent
• ProgressEvent

blur

Dispatched whenever the focus leaves the currently focused control. This can be useful if you want to validate the contents of a field immediately after entry.

element.addEventListener("blur", evt => {
    if (Number.isNaN(Number(evt.target.value))) {
        evt.target.value = "";
    }
});

Applies to	Focusable controls (input elements, buttons)
Since	XD 13

change

Dispatched after the contents of an input control change. This event only occurs after the last input to the control; so you won't see an event for every key press or mouse move.

element.addEventListener("change", evt => {
    console.log(evt.target.data);
});

Applies to	Focusable controls (input elements, buttons)
Since	XD 13

click

Dispatched when the user clicks or taps on the element.

Subsequent clicks may be ignored if they fall within the "double click" time span.
