+title: 'createEventLoader'
+description: A utility function to select the events used for event-based delayed hydration.

+  - label: Source
+    icon: i-simple-icons-github
+    to: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/blob/main/packages/nuxt/src/app/composables/hydrate.ts

+
+You can use this utility to set specific events that would trigger hydration in event-based delayed hydration components.
+
+## Parameters
+
+- `options`: An array of valid HTML events.
+
+## Example
+
+If you would like to trigger hydration when the element is either clicked or has the mouse over it:
+
+```vue [pages/index.vue]
+<template>
+  <div>
+    <LazyIdleMyComponent :loader="createEventLoader(['click','mouseover'])"/>
+  </div>
+<template>
+```

+
+::read-more{to="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element#events"}
+Read more on the possible events that can be used.
