In 2018, there's really no need for jQuery, however, jQuery came bundled with a few really nice features. One such feature is their namespaced event binding and unbinding mechanism.
const $my_element = $("#root")
$my_element.on("click.listener_one", () => console.log("Number one!")
$my_element.on("click.listener_two", () => console.log("Number two!")
$my_element.click()
//Number one!
//Number two!
$my_element.off("click.listener_one")
$my_element.click()
//Number two!The purpose of this library is to safely add, track, and remove namespaced events without the unnecessary bloat of jQuery. The API is simple, functional, and takes advantage of WeakMap in order to avoid memory leaks.
Here's a quick example. I also encourage you to check out the __tests__ directory for other examples.
import { on, off } from "event-light"
const element = document.createElement("div")
on("click.listener_one", element, () => console.log("Number one!"))
on("click.listener_two", element, () => console.log("Number two!"))
element.click()
//Number one!
//Number two!
off("click.listener_one", element)
element.click()
//Number two!npm install --save event-light
