I simply tried to addEventListener and removeEventListener to element, but it doesn't remove.
I suppose that the problem could be with parameters, but I used them to follow the DRY. So I could simply reuse it like nextSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent(event, nextSection)) and so on and so on so I do not need any if statements or stuff like that.
* EDIT *
I made some more examples of elements that I will be using. There's a chance, that there will be event more. If I do not use parameter, there would be a lot more of functions. Also, there will be click instead of mouse events on mobile, so I need to remove them.
As I understand now, the problem is with return statement. If I use event instead of parameter and so event.target I get some weird bug.
const loginSection = document.querySelector('#js-login-section');
const searchSection = document.querySelector('#js-search-section');
const shoppingBagSection = document.querySelector('#js-shopping-bag-section');
const wishlistSection = document.querySelector('#js-wishlist-section');
function showContent(element) {
return () => {
const toggle = element.lastElementChild;
toggle.style.maxHeight = toggle.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
}
function hideContent(element) {
return () => {
const toggle = element.lastElementChild;
toggle.style.maxHeight = null;
}
}
/* Media queries - min width 992px */
loginSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent(loginSection));
loginSection.addEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(loginSection));
searchSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent(searchSection));
searchSection.addEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(searchSection));
shoppingBagSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent(shoppingBagSection));
shoppingBagSection.addEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(shoppingBagSection));
wishlistSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent(wishlistSection));
wishlistSection.addEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(wishlistSection));
/* Media queries - max width 992px */
loginSection.removeEventListener('mouseover', showContent(loginSection));
loginSection.removeEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(loginSection));
searchSection.removeEventListener('mouseover', showContent(searchSection));
searchSection.removeEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(searchSection));
shoppingBagSection.removeEventListener('mouseover', showContent(shoppingBagSection));
shoppingBagSection.removeEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(shoppingBagSection));
wishlistSection.removeEventListener('mouseover', showContent(wishlistSection));
wishlistSection.removeEventListener('mouseout', hideContent(wishlistSection));
Thank you in advance!
What is happening is that return () => {};
is returning a new function every time it's run. So every time you call one of your functions a new event handler is being created.
This means that the handler that is added is different to the one you're trying to remove.
To remedy this, I'd keep it simple:
const loginSection = document.querySelector('#js-login-section');
function showContent(e)
{
const toggle = e.currentTarget.lastElementChild;
toggle.style.maxHeight = toggle.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
function hideContent(e)
{
const toggle = e.currentTarget.lastElementChild;
toggle.style.maxHeight = null;
}
loginSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent);
loginSection.addEventListener('mouseout', hideContent);
loginSection.removeEventListener('mouseover', showContent);
loginSection.removeEventListener('mouseout', hideContent);
I'm not sure what you want to avoid repeating, so I can't advise on that, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
const loginSection = document.querySelector('#js-login-section');
function showContent(event) {
var element = event.target;
return () => {
const toggle = element.lastElementChild;
toggle.style.maxHeight = toggle.scrollHeight + 'px';
}
}
function hideContent(event) {
var element = event.target;
return () => {
const toggle = element.lastElementChild;
toggle.style.maxHeight = null;
}
}
loginSection.addEventListener('mouseover', showContent);
loginSection.addEventListener('mouseout', hideContent);
loginSection.removeEventListener('mouseover', showContent);
loginSection.removeEventListener('mouseout', hideContent);
You must set in events method function without call. Element you can get from event event.target
In your code, I found the following errors,
event.target
or this
addEventListener
to removeEventListener
. So, you should store the handler in a variable and pass it to both addEventListener
and removeEventListener
Solution: if you don't know the handler name, you can use window.getEventListeners
to do the magic,
window.getEventListeners
returns a dictionary of events associated with the element.
function removeEventListener(el, eventName) { if (!el) { throw new Error('Invalid DOM reference passed'); } const listeners = getEventListeners(el)[eventName] || []; listeners.forEach(({ listener }) => { removeEventListener(eventName, listener); }); } function removeAllEventListener(el) { if (!el) { throw new Error('Invalid DOM reference passed'); } const events = Object.entries(getEventListeners(el) || {}); events.forEach(([eventName, listeners]) => { listeners.forEach(({ listener }) => { removeEventListener(eventName, listener); }); }); } // example // remove mouseout event removeEventListener(loginSection, 'mouseout'); // remove all event listeners removeAllEventListener(loginSection);
