DomEmitter

Delegates selected events to another Emitter. For instance:

emitterA.delegate( 'eventX' ).to( emitterB );
emitterA.delegate( 'eventX', 'eventY' ).to( emitterC );

then eventX is delegated (fired by) emitterB and emitterC along with data:

emitterA.delegate( 'eventX' ).to( emitterB );
emitterA.delegate( 'eventX', 'eventY' ).to( emitterC );

and eventY is delegated (fired by) emitterC along with data:

emitterA.delegate( 'eventX' ).to( emitterB );
emitterA.delegate( 'eventX', 'eventY' ).to( emitterC );

Parameters

events : Array<string>

Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

Returns

EmitterMixinDelegateChain

Fires an event, executing all callbacks registered for it.

The first parameter passed to callbacks is an EventInfo object, followed by the optional args provided in the fire() method call.

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type describing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

eventOrInfo : GetNameOrEventInfo<TEvent>

The name of the event or EventInfo object if event is delegated.

args : TEvent[ 'args' ]

Additional arguments to be passed to the callbacks.

Returns

GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]

By default the method returns undefined. However, the return value can be changed by listeners through modification of the evt.return's property (the event info is the first param of every callback).

Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired in a specific (emitter) object.

Events can be grouped in namespaces using :. When namespaced event is fired, it additionally fires all callbacks for that namespace.

// myEmitter.on( ... ) is a shorthand for myEmitter.listenTo( myEmitter, ... ).
myEmitter.on( 'myGroup', genericCallback );
myEmitter.on( 'myGroup:myEvent', specificCallback );

// genericCallback is fired.
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup' );
// both genericCallback and specificCallback are fired.
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:myEvent' );
// genericCallback is fired even though there are no callbacks for "foo".
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:foo' );

An event callback can stop the event and set the return value of the fire method.

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type describing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

emitter : Emitter

The object that fires the event.

event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

The name of the event.

callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : CallbackOptions

Additional options.

Returns

void

Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired in a specific Emitter or DOM Node. It is backwards compatible with listenTo.

Type parameters

K : extends keyof DomEventMap

Parameters

emitter : Window | EventTarget | Node

The object that fires the event.

event : K

The name of the event.

callback : ( this: this, ev: EventInfo, event: DomEventMap[ K ] ) => void

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : object

Additional options.

Returns

void

Stops executing the callback on the given event. Shorthand for this.stopListening( this, event, callback ).

Parameters

event : string

The name of the event.

callback : Function

The function to stop being called.

Returns

void

Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired.

Shorthand for this.listenTo( this, event, callback, options ) (it makes the emitter listen on itself).

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

The name of the event.

callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

Additional options.

Returns

void

Registers a callback function to be executed on the next time the event is fired only. This is similar to calling on followed by off in the callback.

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

The name of the event.

callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

Additional options.

Returns

void

Stops delegating events. It can be used at different levels:

• To stop delegating all events.
• To stop delegating a specific event to all emitters.
• To stop delegating a specific event to a specific emitter.

Parameters

[ event ] : string

The name of the event to stop delegating. If omitted, stops it all delegations.

[ emitter ] : Emitter

(requires event) The object to stop delegating a particular event to. If omitted, stops delegation of event to all emitters.

Returns

void

Stops listening for events. It can be used at different levels: It is backwards compatible with listenTo.

• To stop listening to a specific callback.
• To stop listening to a specific event.
• To stop listening to all events fired by a specific object.
• To stop listening to all events fired by all objects.

Parameters

[ emitter ] : Window | EventTarget | Node | Emitter

The object to stop listening to. If omitted, stops it for all objects.

[ event ] : string

(Requires the emitter) The name of the event to stop listening to. If omitted, stops it for all events from emitter.

[ callback ] : Function

(Requires the event) The function to be removed from the call list for the given event.

Returns

void
