Is it possible to "wait" for multiple events before executing a function? I know its possible with jQuery
deferred
obejcts to use $.when
to wait for two promises to resolve but I wondered if its possible with just plain old events?
Lets say a click event and a custom event trigger an alert, for example:
$.when("click", "customEvent").then(function(){ alert("yay"); });
You could use deferred, you just have to create them yourself.
var clickDfd = $.Deferred();
var eventDfd = $.Deferred();
$("div").on("click", function(e) {
clickDfd.resolve();
});
$("div").on("some-event", function(e) {
eventDfd.resolve();
});
$.when(clickDfd, eventDfd).done(function(){
alert("yay");
});
var click = 0;
var hover = 0;
$("div").on("click mouseenter", function(e) {
if(e.type == 'click') {
click = 1;
bana();
}
else if(e.type == 'mouseenter') {
hover = 1;
bana();
}
});
function bana() {
if(click == 1 && hover == 1) {
alert(1);
click = 0;
hover = 0;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
Well, Checking event types and setting them in old way. Plain jQuery and JS.
Will alert 1 only when both events are done / fired.
Fiddle
