addEventListener and Event subtypes ?

[vendethiel]

Hi,

what's the normal procedure to use addEventListener with, say, KeyboardEvent ? (maybe the function param type needs to be T forSome { type T <: Event })
I'm currently using .onclick but that seems like a bad idea :).

I haven't found better than taking an Event and then cast it inside.

Does it work with partial functions? e.g. { case e: KeyboardEvent => ... }?

[sjrd]

It should, indeed.

Likely there isn't any better solution till singleton types for literals or some equivalent mechanism becomes available. Until then, cast away! It's the wild west of the web and you don't need to be so prudish and typesafe.
