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

I know an workaround we can use for this

$("button").on("click", function(event) {
   event.data = $(this).data('events'); // get the data value 
   alert(event.data); //use your data as you want
});


//Now set the data value and trigger
$("button").data('events','youreventsvalue').trigger("click");

Here is a demo
