Internet Explorer 9, 10 & 11 Event constructor doesn’t work

by

There’s an IE polyfill for the CustomEvent constructor at MDN. Adding CustomEvent to IE and using that instead works.

(function () {
  if ( typeof window.CustomEvent === "function" ) return false; //If not IE

  function CustomEvent ( event, params ) {
    params = params || { bubbles: false, cancelable: false, detail: undefined };
    var evt = document.createEvent( 'CustomEvent' );
    evt.initCustomEvent( event, params.bubbles, params.cancelable, params.detail );
    return evt;
   }

  CustomEvent.prototype = window.Event.prototype;

  window.CustomEvent = CustomEvent;
})();
