<script type="text/javascript" src="pathtoassets/MagicEvent.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

<script>

What can we do ?

Listen to an event

To register an event listener just use on method

  //place an event listener for click on a tag
  MagicEvent.on("click", "a", myLinkClickFunc);

Multiple event at once

It handle mutiple event binding in one go

  //place an event listener for click, hover and touch on a tag
  MagicEvent.on("click hover touch", "a", myLinkClickFunc);

CSS Selector

You can select your elements directly by CSS Selector

  //place an event listener for click on all element with class .clickme, event if they were created dynamically
  MagicEvent.on("click", ".clickme", myClickFunc);

Chainning

All method return MagicEvent object to chain all your call

  //you can chain all your call
  MagicEvent.on("click", "a", myLinkClickFunc)
    .on("click", ".clickme", myClickFunc);

Delegate

Delegate is automatic for all elements, so it's easy to make it !(not available for scroll event)

  //register event listener with delegate
  MagicEvent.on("click", "a", myLinkClickFunc)

currentElement

Due to delegate, event.currentTarget is always document, but you can use event.delegateTarget (except for scroll)

  function(event){
    //get <a> element that was click 
    const el = event.delegateTarget;
    //magic here
  }
  
  MagicEvent.on("click", "a", myLinkClickFunc)

Execute only once

If you want a listener to be executed only once, use one method

  //place an event listener that will execute only once per HTML element
  MagicEvent.one("click", "a", myOnceLinkClickFunc);

Remove listener

You can remove an event listener with off method

  //remove existing listener
  MagicEvent.on("click", "a", myLinkClickFunc)
    .off("click", "a", myLinkClickFunc);

Emit an event

Do you want to emit an event on precise element just use emit method

  // emit an event with bubbling on (event must be in listen by MagicEvent)
  // emit click on all 'a' tag
  MagicEvent.emit("click", a);
  // emit event with custom data
  MagicEvent.emit("click", a, {simulatedClick: true})

Custom events

Event Handler handle custom event like it's nothing, just use it on normal way

  // place event listenner on custom event
  MagicEvent.on("supercustom", "a", funcForSuperCustom);
