# stopPropagation()

Stops further propagation of the event.

```
stopPropagation(): void;
```

## Discussion

Unlike a DOM `Event`, a [`MapKitEvent`](/documentation/MapKitJS/MapKitEvent) doesn’t go through bubbling or capturing phases. When the propagation stops, the system doesn’t dispatch the event to any event listeners that the framework hasn’t called yet.
