Event NOTation system

Package Exports

  • enot

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (enot) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Enot is handy events binder with humanized events notation. It is like xtags events standalone with additional pseudos.

Install

To use in browser use browserify or build (3kb gzipped).

$ npm install enot

var enot = require('enot');

Get started

TODO

Use

Wrap objects

enot.on('document click:pass(rightmouse)', callback);
enot.one('document click:pass(rightmouse)', callback);
enot.off('document click:pass(rightmouse)', callback);
enot.emit('document click:pass(rightmouse)');

Might be useful if you want to use events "externally", not touching the initial objects — e. g. HTMLElements, jQuery objects etc.

Emitter class

var emitter = new Enot;
emitter.emit('something');

Mixin object:

var user = {name: 'Toby'};
Emitter(user);

user.emit('hello');

Inherit class:

var User = function(name){this.name = name};

User.prototype = Object.create(Emitter.prototype);
//or `Emitter(User.prototype);` to mixin

var user = new User('George');

user.emit('poo');

API

Enot API consists of common EventEmitter interface methods: on, off, once, emit, delegate. Methods are chainable, so you can compose lists of calls: Enot.on(target, 'click', cb).emit(target, 'click').off(target, 'click');.

Within a callback, you can return false, then action will be prevented as it is in DOM.

Enot.on(target(s)?, event(s)?, listener)

Parameter Description
target Any object, including HTMLElement, Array etc. If omitted — global event will be registered. Can be list of targets (NodeList or Array).
event Event declaration, in simple case — event name.
callback Any function to invoke
events Object with event declarations as keys and callbacks as values.
//simple event
Enot.on(document.querySelectorAll('.buy-button'), 'click', function(){...});

//events object
Enot.on(myPlugin, {
    'window resize, document myPlugin:update': 'update',
    'update': function(){...},
    'submit, click:on(.submit-button), keypress:pass(enter)': function(){...}
});

Enot.once(target(s)?, event(s)?, listener)

All the same arguments as on.

Enot.off(target(s), event(s)?, listener?)

Parameter Description
target Any object, including HTMLElement, Array etc. If omitted — global event will be unbound. Can be list of targets (NodeList or Array).
event Event name. If omitted - all events for the target will be unbound.
callback Any function or string previously bound. If omitted - all events for the target will be unbound.

Enot.emit(target, event, data?, bubbles?)

Fire event on the target. Optionally pass data and bubbles params. data will be accessible as event.detail in callback.

Event notation

Basic event declaration syntax:

[<target>] <event>[<:pseudo>]
Parameter Description
target Regular CSS-selector (possibly extended with relative pseudos, see query-relative), document/window keyword or target property accessible via @ prefix, e.g. @firstChild.
event Event name
:modifier Event modifier, see list of modifiers.

Pseudos

Use the following pseudos for events as click:<pseudo>.

Pseudo Alias Description
:once :one fire callback once.
:on(selector) (xtags :delegate(selector)) listen for bubbled event on elements mathing selector.
:not(selector) the opposite to delegate—ignore bubbled event on elements matching selector.
:pass(codes/keynames) :keypass(codes/keynames) filter event by code. Useful for keyboard/mouse events. Full list of codes can be found in key-name. Use as :keypass(enter, 25, 26).
:later(100) invoke callback 100 ms after.
:throttle(20) invoke callbak not more than once per 20 ms.

Modifiers can be combined, e.g. click:once:on(.inner-tag):not(.ignore):pass(rightmouse):delay(50).

Common examples:

  • click - call on click
  • click:delay(100) - call 100ms after click
  • click:throttle(200) - fire not more often than 200ms
  • click:one - fire once
  • window message - call on window gets message
  • document unload - call on user is going to leave
  • .bad-link click - elements matching selector click
  • :root click:delegate(.bad-link) - the same as above but in a delegate way
  • .element click, document keypress:pass(enter) - bind two callbacks
