JavaScript Events Kya Hote Hain ?

JavaScript events ek bahut important concept hai jo web pages ko interactive banane me madad karta hai. Jab bhi user kisi webpage ke saath interact karta hai jaise ki click karna, key press karna, mouse move karna, ya koi bhi action perform karta hai, tab JavaScript us action ka response de sakta hai. Is process ko Event Handling kehte hain.

Aayiye, JavaScript Events ko deeply samajhte hain.

JavaScript events wo actions hote hain jo kisi element par hone par trigger hote hain. Jab ek event hota hai, toh hum us event par JavaScript functions execute kara sakte hain. Ye function event ka response dete hain, jise hum Event Handler kehte hain.

• User button click kare → Alert box dikhaye
• User form submit kare → Data validate kare
• User mouse move kare → Background color change kare

Types of JavaScript Events :

JavaScript me kai tarah ke events hote hain, jo different user interactions ko handle karte hain.

1. Mouse Events (Mouse se related events) :

Mouse events wo actions hote hain jo user ke mouse ke interaction se trigger hote hain, jaise click, double-click, hover, drag, ya move karna. JavaScript me ye events webpage ke elements ke sath user ke interaction ko detect karne aur respond karne me madad karte hain. Common mouse events me click, dblclick, mousemove, mouseover, mouseout, mousedown, aur mouseup shamil hote hain. Ye events web pages ko interactive aur user-friendly banane ke liye use kiye jate hain, jisme animations, tooltips, ya dynamic content dikhana shamil ho sakta hai.

Ye events tab trigger hote hain jab user mouse ka use karta hai.

Example: Button click hone par alert show kare.

<button onclick="alert('Button clicked!')">Click Me</button>

2. Keyboard Events (Keyboard se related events) :

Keyboard events wo events hote hain jo tab trigger hote hain jab ek user keyboard ka use karta hai. JavaScript me mainly teen keyboard events hote hain: keydown (jab koi key press hoti hai), keyup (jab koi key release hoti hai), aur keypress (jo ab deprecated hai). Ye events web applications me user interactions ko handle karne, shortcuts banane, aur forms ya games me controls implement karne ke liye use hote hain. Inhe event listeners ke through detect kiya jata hai, jisse hum specific keys par customized actions perform kar sakte hain.

Jab user keyboard par koi key press karta hai tab ye events trigger hote hain.

Example: Input box me koi key press hone par console me print kare.

<input type="text" onkeydown="console.log('Key Pressed!')">

3. Form Events (Form se related events) :

Form events HTML aur JavaScript mein ek important concept hai jo kisi bhi form ke andar hone wale interactions ko handle karne ke liye use hota hai. Jab user form ke kisi field mein input deta hai, usse submit karta hai, ya phir reset karta hai, tab ye events trigger hote hain. Common form events mein onfocus, onblur, onchange, onsubmit, aur onreset aate hain. onfocus tab trigger hota hai jab user kisi input field par click karta hai, jabki onsubmit tab activate hota hai jab form submit hota hai. Ye events validation, data processing aur UX improve karne ke liye helpful hote hain.

Ye events tab trigger hote hain jab user kisi form ke elements par koi action kare.

Example: Form submit hone par validation check kare.

<form onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<input type="text" id="name">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
function validateForm() {
  let name = document.getElementById("name").value;
  if (name === "") {
    alert("Name field cannot be empty!");
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}
</script>

4. Window Events (Window se related events) :

“Window Events” web development mein wo events hote hain jo browser window ya kisi webpage ke elements se related hote hain. Ye events user interactions, window ki size changes, scrolling, focus, ya kisi element pe mouse click jaise actions ko capture karte hain. Jaise hi user kisi specific action ko perform karta hai, event trigger hota hai aur uss event ke hisaab se specific function execute hota hai. Window events ko handle karne ke liye JavaScript ka use hota hai jisme event listeners lagaye jaate hain jo ki actions ko detect karte hain aur corresponding responses trigger karte hain.

Example: Jab page load ho, alert show kare.

<body onload="alert('Page Loaded!')"></body>

Event Listeners Kya Hain? (Best Way to Handle Events)

Event Listeners ek JavaScript feature hai jo kisi specific event (jaise click, hover, keypress) ko detect karne aur uspar react karne ke liye use hota hai. Jab koi user kisi element par action perform karta hai, tab event listener us event ko capture karke ek function execute karta hai. Isko addEventListener() method se apply kiya jata hai. Yeh asynchronous hota hai, yani page reload kiye bina real-time interaction allow karta hai. Multiple listeners ek hi element par lagaye ja sakte hain, jo interactive aur dynamic web pages banane me madad karta hai. Yeh DOM manipulation ka ek essential part hai.

JavaScript me event handle karne ka best practice hai Event Listeners ka use karna.

Example: Button click hone par background color change kare.

<button id="myBtn">Click Me</button>

<script>
document.getElementById("myBtn").addEventListener("click", function() {
  document.body.style.backgroundColor = "lightblue";
});
</script>

Event Object (event Object)

Event Object ek JavaScript object hota hai jo kisi event (jaise click, keypress, mouseover, etc.) ke hone par generate hota hai. Jab bhi koi event trigger hota hai, yeh object event ke baare mein sabhi details store karta hai, jaise event ka type, jis element pe event hua, aur additional properties jaise mouse ki position, keyboard key ka code, etc. Event Object ka use JavaScript mein event handlers ke andar kiya jata hai, jahan pe aap specific event ke context ko handle kar sakte hain. Yeh object developer ko event ke behavior ko customize karne mein madad karta hai.

Example: Event object ka use :

<button id="myBtn">Click Me</button>

<script>
document.getElementById("myBtn").addEventListener("click", function(event) {
  console.log("Event Type: " + event.type);
  console.log("Event Target: " + event.target);
});
</script>

Event Bubbling & Event Capturing (Event Propagation)

Jab ek event kisi child element par trigger hota hai, to wo parent element tak propagate hota hai. Is process ko Event Propagation kehte hain.

Event Bubbling → Event sabse pehle child se start hoke parent tak jata hai.

Event Capturing → Event sabse pehle parent se start hoke child tak jata hai.

Prevent Default Behavior (event.preventDefault()) :

event.preventDefault() ek JavaScript method hai jo kisi event ke default behavior ko rokne ke liye use hota hai. Jab hum koi event trigger karte hain, jaise form submit karna ya link pe click karna, toh wo ek default action perform karta hai. event.preventDefault() use karke, hum is default behavior ko rok sakte hain. Maan lo, agar hum chahte hain ki form submit na ho jab tak koi condition meet na ho, toh hum is method ka use karte hain. Yeh method kaafi helpful hai jab hum custom actions ya validations perform karna chahte hain bina kisi default action ke interfere kiye.

Example: Form submit hone se rokna.

<form id="myForm">
<input type="text">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
document.getElementById("myForm").addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  alert("Form submission stopped!");
});
</script>

Conclusion

• JavaScript events se web pages ko interactive banaya jata hai.
• Different types ke events hote hain jaise Mouse Events, Keyboard Events, Form Events, Window Events, etc.
• Events handle karne ke best practices Event Listeners aur event object ka use karna hai.
• Event Bubbling & Capturing se event propagation control kiya jata hai.
• event.preventDefault() se default behavior ko stop kiya jata hai.
