What will be the type for eventdata in typescript

Question

I have a input box, when I click on it I'll actually send the eventdata of the input box using a function:

<input type="text" (click)="show($event)"/>

I'm using typescript here to write a function hence I need to assign a type to the function parameter

What will be the type for an event?

Typescript Code :

show(eventdata: ?) { }

Well as you are catching a click in your input element, the event will most propbably be of the type MouseEvent.

I don't want to be specific, Can I use Event as the type? – Harish Jan 04 '18 at 08:31

@Harish I think you can. As `MouseEvent` extends `Event` anyway, it should work. – indexoutofbounds Jan 04 '18 at 08:32
@Harish Have a look at [the MDN web docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events) for further information on Events. Also please accept the answer if it did help you. – indexoutofbounds Jan 04 '18 at 08:51
