Javascript event addEventListener registering mult

问题:

I'm employing Object-Oriented Javascript, in conjunction with registering event listeners. From what I understand about event listeners, if the function applied to eventtarget has already been registered, repeated attempts to add this same event listener will be ignored. In other words, it should only fire once. But that is not the case in the code below (also can be seen on jsfiddle).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget.addEventListener

Multiple identical event listeners

If multiple identical EventListeners are registered on the same EventTarget with the same parameters, the duplicate instances are discarded. They do not cause the EventListener to be called twice, and since the duplicates are discarded, they do not need to be removed manually with the removeEventListener method.

HTML

<div id="wrapper">
    <input id="t1" type="text" />
    <input id="btn" type="button" />
</div>

JS

var namespace = namespace || {};

namespace.event = {
    addListener: function(el, type) {
        var handle = function() {
            switch (type) {
                case "focus": 
                    console.log(el.value);
                    break;
                case "click":
                    console.log(el.id + " was clicked");
                    break;
            }
        };

        el.addEventListener(type, handle, false);
    }
};

namespace.ExampleClass = function() {
    this.init = function(el1, el2) {
        el1.value = "123";
        el2.value = "Click Me";
    };
};

var textbox = document.getElementById("t1");
var button = document.getElementById("btn");

var inst = new namespace.ExampleClass();

inst.init( textbox, button );

namespace.event.addListener(textbox, "focus");
namespace.event.addListener(button, "click");

// same handle -- shoudln't it only add the event once?
namespace.event.addListener(textbox, "focus");
namespace.event.addListener(button, "click");

As you can see in the last few lines of the code above, a function called addListener is executed twice, which registers an event to each input. Then, addListener is executed again. I'm expecting it to not register again and ignore, but it actually registers. I don't get it. The function in the namespace called handle is exactly the same. What am I doing wrong here?

Any help would be great. Thank you so much.

回答1:

You cannot bind the same type/function pair to an element. However, that is not what you are doing, you are explicitly creating a new handler function on every call to your namespace.addEventListener function.

What you have:

namespace.event = {
    addListener: function(el, type) {
        var handle = function() {
            switch (type) {
                case "focus": 
                    console.log(el.value);
                    break;
                case "click":
                    console.log(el.id + " was clicked");
                    break;
            }
        };

        el.addEventListener(type, handle, false);
    }
};

What would do what you expect:

var handle = function(evt) {
    var el = evt.currentTarget;

    switch (type) {
        case "focus": 
            console.log(el.value);
            break;
        case "click":
            console.log(el.id + " was clicked");
            break;
    }
};

namespace.event = {
    addListener: function(el, type) {
        el.addEventListener(type, handle, false);
    }
};

because there is only one instance of handle in the second case.

Namespacing

What you have is one approach to namespacing, but most often these days, JS namespacing is done via the Module Pattern

For your case for example, you don't even appear to really care about making your code globally accessible via this 'namespace' variable since it is only used in your code, so you could do:

var namespace = (function(){
    function handle(evt) {
        var el = evt.currentTarget;

        switch (type) {
            case "focus": 
                console.log(el.value);
                break;
            case "click":
                console.log(el.id + " was clicked");
               break;
        }
    };

    function addListener(el, type) {
        el.addEventListener(type, handle, false);
    }

    function ExampleClass() {
        this.init = function(el1, el2) {
            el1.value = "123";
            el2.value = "Click Me";
        };
    };

    var textbox = document.getElementById("t1");
    var button = document.getElementById("btn");

    var inst = new ExampleClass();

    inst.init( textbox, button );

    addListener(textbox, "focus");
    addListener(button, "click");


    // And if you do care about 'inst' being global, you'd explicitly add it to the window.
    window.inst = inst;

    // Whatever functions you want to expose as 'namespace' would go here.
    return {
        event: {
            addEventListener: addEventListener
        }
    };
})();
