Simulate event resize

Question

Hi I'm using DOM2 and added a few event listeners "resize" for window object, using addEventListener. And now I need to simulate this action (window.resize) to call event listeners that are attached to the window object. How can I do it?

Answer 1

The following should work:

var resizeEvent = new Event('resize');

window.dispatchEvent(resizeEvent);

Simple (ridiculously so) demo.
