Can you set event.data with jquery trigger

Question

With jQuery .on() you can pass an optional parameter to set the event data. Can you do this with trigger as well?

Answer 1

You can do this way:-

Example

  //Create a new jQuery.Event object without the "new" operator.
  var e = jQuery.Event("click");

  // trigger an artificial click event
  jQuery("body").trigger( e );

You can pass event.data too with the same approach. Refer this Event Object
