ui-event-observer v2.0.0

ui-event-observer

Provide performant/simple way to subscribe to browser DOM UI Events.

You can use a single addEventListener instead of multiple addEventListener for DOM UI Events by UIEventObserver.

Example project show that add 100 "scroll" event handler to window.

• Left: 100x addEventListener
• Right: 1 UIEventObserver

Features

• Provide Observer for addEventListener
  • With UIEventObserver, instead of calling multiple window.addEventListener('scroll', eventHandler) by different components, call subscribe(window, 'scroll', eventHandler).
  • It will only add a single event listener and dispatch event to those who subscribe the event via EventEmitter.
• Lightweight: 5kb(gzip)
