delite/on

delite/on is a general-purpose event handler module for DOM nodes, providing normalized event listening.

The main purpose is to:

1. shim focusin and focusout on browsers that don't support those events natively
2. shim Event.key on browsers that don't support it natively, and fix the values on browsers that don't obey the specification

Usage

The module's return value is a function that can be directly called to add an event listener:

require(["delite/on"], function (on) {
    on(myNode, "click", function (e) {
        // handle the event
    });
});

Removing an Event Handler

The return value of on() provides a method that can be used to remove the event listener from the event:

require(["delite/on"], function (on) {
    var signal = on(document, "click", function () {
        // remove listener after first event
        signal.remove();
        // do something else...
    });
});
