addEventListener
This API is used to register an event listener for a target. The event listener triggers an edge function when the specified type of event is delivered to the target. Only one event listener takes effect for the same type of event. Only
fetch request events are supported currently. If a fetch event occurs after a fetch event listener is registered, the event listener generates a FetchEvent object to process the HTTP request.Overview
function addEventListener(type: string, listener: (event: FetchEvent) => void): void;
Parameters
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
type | string | Yes | Event type. Only fetch request events are supported.If you specify a request event type other than fetch, the Edge Functions engine throws an Error exception. |

Sample Code
// Register a fetch event listener.addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {// Respond to the client.event.respondWith(new Response('Hello World!'));});
