# ListenerContext

Provides access to the context that triggered a listener action.

A [ListenerContext](https://rive.app/docs/scripting/api-reference/artboards/listener-context.md) can represent different event types (pointer, keyboard,
text input, focus, view model changes, or reported events). Use the
`is...` methods to check the type, and the corresponding `as...` methods
to retrieve the event data.
