## Properties

<a id="member-data">

### `data: string | null` _(readonly)_

A unified text data passed along with the input event. Depending on:

* the web browser and input events implementation (for instance [Level 1](https://www.w3.org/TR/input-events-1/) or [Level 2](https://www.w3.org/TR/input-events-2/)),
* [input type](#member-inputType)

text data is sometimes passed in the `data` and sometimes in the `dataTransfer` property.

* If `InputEvent#data` was set, this property reflects its value.
* If `InputEvent#data` is unavailable, this property contains the `'text/plain'` data from [`dataTransfer`](#member-dataTransfer).
* If the event ([input type](#member-inputType)) provides no data whatsoever, this property is `null`.
