Proposal: Add a resizeend event to the Window

[thegreatercurve]

An experimental scrollend event has recently been added to Firefox and Chrome.

Similarly, I want to propose to add a similar resizeend event to the Window whenever the user has finished resizing the window, whether-or-not via mouse our touch input.

(The resize, scroll and scrollend events are mentioned close together in the current spec).

Listening to this event would look the same as the above as well:

window.addEventListener('resizeend`, event => { ... })

// Or 

window.onresizeend = event => { ... }

The benefits of resizeend would be similar to scrollend in that it removes the need for debouncing or timeouts to try to detect the end of the resize.

Is the information that user has stopped resizing available on all the OSes? And how would this work, when the resize isn't user initiated but the OS just decides to resize window because of some other reason?

@smaug---- It should be available on all devices and OSes, similar to the resize event. Also, there's no awareness about how the resize event is initiated.

It seems you should file this against CSSOM View Module, not the HTML Standard. (See the top of the document you linked to for where to file the issue.)
