JavaScript property (not specific to jQuery) that identifies the current target for the event
It always refers to the element to which the event handler has been attached, as opposed
Similar to $(this), with the added benefit that it works with arrow functions
When using event.currentTarget in the context of jQuery, it should be wrapped in a jQuery object: $(event.currentTarget)
$(() => {
$("#box").click((event) => {
// use $(event.currentTarget) with with an arrow function
// to reference the element that is being "acted on"
$(event.currentTarget).fadeOut(1000)
})
})
