on-event v0.1.2

on-event

Easier event delegation for universal HTML based apps. Allows for inline event handling with pure html.

Installation

npm install on-event

Example

import { on, clear } from 'on-event'
import html from 'as-html'

// Register an event handler inline.
html`
  <div ${on('click', ()=> console.log('Clicked!'))}>
    Hello World!
  </div>
` //-> '<div data-onclick="104167580">Hello world</div>'

How it works

Every time you call on(event, handler) it will return a string with an attribute and an id. This id will be used in event delegation to allow for your events to be handled.

However since every time you call on you are adding a new delegated event handler you must clear the handlers on every render to help garbage collection.

The library exposes a clear() function which will clear all registered event handlers, allowing them to be garbage collected.

// Clear old event handlers (should be done in a render loop of some kind).
on.clear()
// Register new handlers!
