addEventListener("statechange", (event) => { })

onstatechange = (event) => { }

Event properties

MIDIConnectionEvent.port Read only

Example

navigator.requestMIDIAccess().then((access) => {
  access.onstatechange = (event) => {
    console.log(event.port.name, event.port.manufacturer, event.port.state);
  };
});
