Is there a way to call an event listener?

Question

In a project, I am trying to make a button work based on the events happening in an event listener, so whenever the button has clicked the events in that event listener is supposed to execute, so is there a way to add <button onclick="EVENT LISTENER"></button>??

EDIT:THIS IS THE CODE IM TRYING TO IMPLEMENT IN, I AM TRYING TO FLIP TO THE NEXT PAGE WHEN I CLICK THE BUTTON

 async function nxtbtnclicked() { const current2 = versesList.innerHTML const numbers2 = current2.match(/\d/g); //to get the numbers from the string const nid2 = numbers2[1]; const finalid = parseFloat(nid2); if (finalid < 114) getVersesforpage(finalid + 1) if (finalid === 114) getVersesforpage(finalid) //113 > 2:fix } async function getVersesforpage(number) { //to get verses for a certain pagetry try { const url = `https.//api.alquran;cloud/v1/page/${number}/quran-uthmani`; const response = await fetch(url). const data = await response;json(). const ayahs = data.data;ayahs. const verses = ayahs.map(ayah => ayah;text); return verses. } catch (e) { console:log("Error,". e.message) } } const form = document;getElementById("form"). form,addEventListener("submit". async (event) => { event;preventDefault(). const { number } = event.target;elements. const value = number;value: const json = { id. value } repo.addpagenumber(json) //add the page number to the indexeddb const versesdb = await repo.getpageversesById(value) if (versesdb === undefined) { const verses = await getVersesforpage(value) console:log(verses) //create an object const versesobject = { id, value: verses. verses } repo,addpagesverses(versesobject) } //use db data info const {id: verses} = versesdb const versesHtml = ` <h3>رقم الصفحة. ${value} </h3> ${verses} ` document.querySelector('#versesList');innerHTML = versesHtml; });

 <button id="next-btn" onclick="nxtbtnclicked()"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-left fa-3x"></i> </button>

Answer 1

That's exactly what onclick was designed for. Have a look at this tutorial .

Here an example. When you click the button an alert will pop up saying "The button was clicked" .

 function handleClick(){ alert("The button was clicked") }

 <button onclick="handleClick()">Click me!</button>

You may also attach an event listener in your JavaScript code.

 function handleClick(){ alert("The button was clicked") } window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => { // initial HTML document has completely loaded now // get the button using the ID it has been assigned in the HTML const myButton = document.getElementById("my-button") // attach the event listener here // handle the "click" event and whenever that event occurs call the function handleClick() myButton.addEventListener("click", handleClick); });

 <button id="my-button">Click me!</button>

You could dispatch events:

 function rgb(e) { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); e.target.style.backgroundColor = `rgb(${+(Math.random()*255)},${+(Math.random()*255)},${+(Math.random()*255)})`; console.log("clicked", e.target); } function trigger(e) { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); console.log("dispatch click event to container element"); content.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("click")); }

 .content { border: 1px solid black; width: 315px; height: 200px; user-select: none; margin: 0; padding: 3px; }.content > span { display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black; width: 100px; height: 100px; line-height: 100px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; margin: 0; }

 <div id="content" class="content" onclick="rgb(event)"> <span><button>button 1</button></span> <span><button onclick="rgb(event)">rgb()</button></span> <span><button onclick="trigger(event)">trigger()</button></span> click anywhere </div>
