The connect event of the USB interface is fired whenever a paired device is connected.
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("connect", (event) => { })
onconnect = (event) => { }A USBConnectionEvent. Inherits from Event.
Once a USB device is connected, you might want to update the UI.
navigator.usb.addEventListener("connect", (event) => {
// Add event.device to the UI.
});Alternatively, you can use the USB.onconnect event handler property to establish a handler for the connect event:
navigator.usb.onconnect = (event) => {
// Add event.device to the UI.
};
