Current behavior

In Testing Section, there is a typo. The example in Change an input value with dispatchEvent() section, in the test is showing

nameInput.dispatchEvent(newEvent(‘input’));

Expected behavior

nameInput.dispatchEvent(new Event(‘input’));

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Hi @keilla! The code used there is not a typo. There is a newEvent helper function that’s in the live example, but not explained in the documentation. I think it would be valuable to show it though to avoid confusion.

So far haven’t been able to find any information on this random, basically un-duck-duck-go-able newEvent function that’s mentioned, but never imported or explained, in the docs.
