								# Events
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The following properties define how the chart interacts with events.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| Name | Type | Default | Description
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| ---- | ---- | ------- | -----------
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `events` | `string[]` | `['mousemove', 'mouseout', 'click', 'touchstart', 'touchmove']` | The `events` option defines the browser events that the chart should listen to for tooltips and hovering. [more...](#event-option)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `onHover` | `function` | `null` | Called when any of the events fire. Called in the context of the chart and passed the event and an array of active elements (bars, points, etc).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `onClick` | `function` | `null` | Called if the event is of type `'mouseup'` or `'click'`. Called in the context of the chart and passed the event and an array of active elements.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Event Option
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For example, to have the chart only respond to click events, you could do:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```javascript
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    type: 'line',
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    data: data,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    options: {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        // This chart will not respond to mousemove, etc
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        events: ['click']
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
