# stopPropagation()

Stops further propagation of the event.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion Unlike a DOM Event, a 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.
