| An implementation of [WHATWG EventTarget interface](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-eventtarget), plus few extensions. | |
| - This provides `EventTarget` constructor that can inherit for your custom object. | |
| - This provides an utility that defines properties of attribute listeners (e.g. `obj.onclick`). | |
| ```js | |
| import {EventTarget, defineEventAttribute} from "event-target-shim" | |
| class Foo extends EventTarget { | |
| // ... | |
| } | |
| // Define `foo.onhello` property. | |
| defineEventAttribute(Foo.prototype, "hello") | |
| // Use | |
| const foo = new Foo() | |
| foo.addEventListener("hello", e => console.log("hello", e)) | |
| foo.onhello = e => console.log("onhello:", e) | |
| foo.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("hello")) | |
| ``` | |
| ## 💿 Installation | |
| Use [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) to install then use a bundler. | |
| ``` | |
| npm install event-target-shim | |
| ``` | |
| Or download from [`dist` directory](./dist). | |
| - [dist/event-target-shim.mjs](dist/event-target-shim.mjs) ... ES modules version. | |
| - [dist/event-target-shim.js](dist/event-target-shim.js) ... Common JS version. | |
| - [dist/event-target-shim.umd.js](dist/event-target-shim.umd.js) ... UMD (Universal Module Definition) version. This is transpiled by [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) for IE 11. | |
| ## 📖 Usage | |
| ```js | |
| import {EventTarget, defineEventAttribute} from "event-target-shim" | |
| // or | |
| const {EventTarget, defineEventAttribute} = require("event-target-shim") | |
| // or UMD version defines a global variable: | |
| const {EventTarget, defineEventAttribute} = window.EventTargetShim | |
| ``` | |
| ### EventTarget | |
| > https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-eventtarget | |
| #### eventTarget.addEventListener(type, callback, options) | |
| Register an event listener. | |
| - `type` is a string. This is the event name to register. | |
| - `callback` is a function. This is the event listener to register. | |
| - `options` is a boolean or an object `{ capture?: boolean, passive?: boolean, once?: boolean }`. If this is a boolean, it's same meaning as `{ capture: options }`. | |
| - `capture` is the flag to register the event listener for capture phase. | |
| - `passive` is the flag to ignore `event.preventDefault()` method in the event listener. | |
| - `once` is the flag to remove the event listener automatically after the first call. | |
| #### eventTarget.removeEventListener(type, callback, options) | |
| Unregister an event listener. | |
| - `type` is a string. This is the event name to unregister. | |
| - `callback` is a function. This is the event listener to unregister. | |
| - `options` is a boolean or an object `{ capture?: boolean }`. If this is a boolean, it's same meaning as `{ capture: options }`. | |
| - `capture` is the flag to register the event listener for capture phase. | |
| #### eventTarget.dispatchEvent(event) | |
| Dispatch an event. | |
| - `event` is a [Event](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#event) object or an object `{ type: string, [key: string]: any }`. The latter is non-standard but useful. In both cases, listeners receive the event as implementing [Event](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#event) interface. | |
| ### defineEventAttribute(proto, type) | |
| Define an event attribute (e.g. `onclick`) to `proto`. This is non-standard. | |
| - `proto` is an object (assuming it's a prototype object). This function defines a getter/setter pair for the event attribute. | |
| - `type` is a string. This is the event name to define. | |
| For example: | |
| ```js | |
| class AbortSignal extends EventTarget { | |
| constructor() { | |
| this.aborted = false | |
| } | |
| } | |
| // Define `onabort` property. | |
| defineEventAttribute(AbortSignal.prototype, "abort") | |
| ``` | |
| ### EventTarget(types) | |
| Define a custom `EventTarget` class with event attributes. This is non-standard. | |
| - `types` is a string or an array of strings. This is the event name to define. | |
| For example: | |
| ```js | |
| // This has `onabort` property. | |
| class AbortSignal extends EventTarget("abort") { | |
| constructor() { | |
| this.aborted = false | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ## 📚 Examples | |
| ### ES2015 and later | |
| > https://jsfiddle.net/636vea92/ | |
| ```js | |
| const {EventTarget, defineEventAttribute} = EventTargetShim | |
| // Define a derived class. | |
| class Foo extends EventTarget { | |
| // ... | |
| } | |
| // Define `foo.onhello` property. | |
| defineEventAttribute(Foo.prototype, "hello") | |
| // Register event listeners. | |
| const foo = new Foo() | |
| foo.addEventListener("hello", (e) => { | |
| console.log("hello", e) | |
| }) | |
| foo.onhello = (e) => { | |
| console.log("onhello", e) | |
| } | |
| // Dispatching events | |
| foo.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("hello", { detail: "detail" })) | |
| ``` | |
| ### Typescript | |
| ```ts | |
| import { EventTarget, defineEventAttribute } from "event-target-shim"; | |
| // Define events | |
| type FooEvents = { | |
| hello: CustomEvent | |
| } | |
| type FooEventAttributes = { | |
| onhello: CustomEvent | |
| } | |
| // Define a derived class. | |
| class Foo extends EventTarget<FooEvents, FooEventAttributes> { | |
| // ... | |
| } | |
| // Define `foo.onhello` property's implementation. | |
| defineEventAttribute(Foo.prototype, "hello") | |
| // Register event listeners. | |
| const foo = new Foo() | |
| foo.addEventListener("hello", (e) => { | |
| console.log("hello", e.detail) | |
| }) | |
| foo.onhello = (e) => { | |
| console.log("onhello", e.detail) | |
| } | |
| // Dispatching events | |
| foo.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("hello", { detail: "detail" })) | |
| ``` | |
| Unfortunately, both `FooEvents` and `FooEventAttributes` are needed because TypeScript doesn't allow the mutation of string literal types. If TypeScript allowed us to compute `"onhello"` from `"hello"` in types, `FooEventAttributes` will be optional. | |
| This `EventTarget` type is compatible with `EventTarget` interface of `lib.dom.d.ts`. | |
| #### To disallow unknown events | |
| By default, methods such as `addEventListener` accept unknown events. You can disallow unknown events by the third type parameter `"strict"`. | |
| ```ts | |
| type FooEvents = { | |
| hello: CustomEvent | |
| } | |
| class Foo extends EventTarget<FooEvents, {}, "strict"> { | |
| // ... | |
| } | |
| // OK because `hello` is defined in FooEvents. | |
| foo.addEventListener("hello", (e) => { | |
| }) | |
| // Error because `unknown` is not defined in FooEvents. | |
| foo.addEventListener("unknown", (e) => { | |
| }) | |
| ``` | |
| However, if you use `"strict"` parameter, it loses compatibility with `EventTarget` interface of `lib.dom.d.ts`. | |
| #### To infer the type of `dispatchEvent()` method | |
| TypeScript cannot infer the event type of `dispatchEvent()` method properly from the argument in most cases. You can improve this behavior with the following steps: | |
| 1. Use the third type parameter `"strict"`. This prevents inferring to `dispatchEvent<string>()`. | |
| 2. Make the `type` property of event definitions stricter. | |
| ```ts | |
| type FooEvents = { | |
| hello: CustomEvent & { type: "hello" } | |
| hey: Event & { type: "hey" } | |
| } | |
| class Foo extends EventTarget<FooEvents, {}, "strict"> { | |
| // ... | |
| } | |
| // Error because `detail` property is lacking. | |
| foo.dispatchEvent({ type: "hello" }) | |
| ``` | |
| ### ES5 | |
| > https://jsfiddle.net/522zc9de/ | |
| ```js | |
| // Define a derived class. | |
| function Foo() { | |
| EventTarget.call(this) | |
| } | |
| Foo.prototype = Object.create(EventTarget.prototype, { | |
| constructor: { value: Foo, configurable: true, writable: true } | |
| // ... | |
| }) | |
| // Define `foo.onhello` property. | |
| defineEventAttribute(Foo.prototype, "hello") | |
| // Register event listeners. | |
| var foo = new Foo() | |
| foo.addEventListener("hello", function(e) { | |
| console.log("hello", e) | |
| }) | |
| foo.onhello = function(e) { | |
| console.log("onhello", e) | |
| } | |
| // Dispatching events | |
| function isSupportEventConstrucor() { // IE does not support. | |
| try { | |
| new CusomEvent("hello") | |
| return true | |
| } catch (_err) { | |
| return false | |
| } | |
| } | |
| if (isSupportEventConstrucor()) { | |
| foo.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("hello", { detail: "detail" })) | |
| } else { | |
| var e = document.createEvent("CustomEvent") | |
| e.initCustomEvent("hello", false, false, "detail") | |
| foo.dispatchEvent(e) | |
| } | |
