I notice that most events have bindings (e.g. phx-keyup) but not the input event.
The input event is the preferred way to interact with an input. For a text input, the keyup and input events will typically correspond, but not always. Example: pressing arrow keys, or command-A triggers keyup but no input. Selecting the “Cut” or “Paste” menu items will generate an input even but no keyup.

Does
phx-changework?marcandre
No,
inputis triggered for every changes, before they are “committed”, whilechangeis triggered when it’s committed (e.g. you tab out the text field). That’s why I compared it tokeyup; you might get a bunch ofkeyupbefore there’s achangeevent.Another example, the color input presents a modal with a color wheel. It triggers
inputevents whenever you select a color, andchangeonly when you click on “ok”.chrismccord
phx-changeon a form or input is effectively theinputlistener. (We literally bind to"input"), so phx-change should give you what you want.marcandre
Note that I couldn’t find this information anywhere in the doc.
Please consider renaming the hook
phx-inputas it is literally what it does. Looking at the source, there’s binding on both “input” and “change”, with de-dupping that should actually never use the “change” binding, unless the user triggers manually a “change” event without an “input” event to precede it (in which case the next “input” event will actually be wrongly ignored by phoenix)marcandre
I believe this PR fixes the potential minor issue I was mentioning.

I am with you.
Your observation about renaming the
phx-changetophx-inputmakes sense, considering the underlying binding to the “input” event. It would also provide clarity and consistency for developers when reading the code and documentation.
