document.dispatchEvent(mouseMoveEvent) |
While using popup window portals in react, some of my components hooked onto window and didn't behave properly. Passing event list seen below worked well for me.
popup.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
const evt = new MouseEvent("mousemove", {
view: popup,
bubbles: true,
cancelable: true,
clientX: e.clientX,
clientY: e.clientY,
screenX: e.screenX,
screenY: e.screenY,
});
window.dispatchEvent(evt);
});
