Defined in: [ui/events.ts:611](<https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/blob/538a7680ab16d5cf5a6564ee0ce72a11be14d142/src/ui/events.ts#L611>)

`MapMouseEvent` is the event type for mouse-related map events.

## Example

```ts
// The `click` event is an example of a `MapMouseEvent`.
// Set up an event listener on the map.
map.on('click', (e) => {
  // The event object (e) contains information like the
  // coordinates of the point on the map that was clicked.
  console.log('A click event has occurred at ' + e.lngLat);
});
```

## Extends

- [`MapLibreEvent`](<https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/API/classes/MapLibreEvent/index.md>)\<`MouseEvent`\>
