Returns

EventHandler

Self for chaining.

hasEvent(name)

Test if there are any handlers bound to an event name.

obj.on('test', function () { }); // bind an event to 'test'
obj.hasEvent('test'); // returns true
obj.hasEvent('hello'); // returns false

Parameters

namestring

The name of the event to test.

Returns

boolean

True if the object has handlers bound to the specified event name.

off([name], [callback], [scope])

Detach an event handler from an event. If callback is not provided then all callbacks are unbound from the event, if scope is not provided then all events with the callback will be unbound.

const handler = function () {
};
obj.on('test', handler);

obj.off(); // Removes all events
obj.off('test'); // Removes all events called 'test'
obj.off('test', handler); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test'
obj.off('test', handler, this); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test' with scope this

Parameters

namestring

Name of the event to unbind.

callbackHandleEventCallback

Function to be unbound.

scopeobject

Scope that was used as the this when the event is fired.

Returns

EventHandler

Self for chaining.

on(name, callback, [scope])

Attach an event handler to an event.

obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
});
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
const evt = obj.on('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
});
// some time later
evt.off();

Parameters

namestring

Name of the event to bind the callback to.

callbackHandleEventCallback

Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

scopeobject

Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

Returns

EventHandle

Can be used for removing event in the future.

once(name, callback, [scope])

Attach an event handler to an event. This handler will be removed after being fired once.

obj.once('test', function (a, b) {
    console.log(a + b);
});
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // not going to get handled
