 | |
| 
 | |
| 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" })
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
|     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)
 | |
| }
