Conclusion
As we’ve briefly seen already, you can listen to any DOM event on an element (such as click or pointermove) with an on<name> function:
App
<div onpointermove={onpointermove}>
The pointer is at {Math.round(m.x)} x {Math.round(m.y)}
</div>Like with any other property where the name matches the value, we can use the short form:
App
<div {onpointermove}>
The pointer is at {Math.round(m.x)} x {Math.round(m.y)}
</div>previous next

let m = $state({ x: 0, y: 0 }); function onpointermove(event) {m.x = event.clientX;
m.y = event.clientY;
}

<div>
The pointer is at {Math.round(m.x)} x {Math.round(m.y)}</div>
