And library syntax/pattern so-called ${el("em", t`Addon`)} to incorporate not only this in UI templates declaratively. `), el(code, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/events/intro.js"), page_id }), el(h3, t`Events and listenners`), el("p").append(...T` In JavaScript you can listen to the native DOM events of the given element by using ${el("a", references.mdn_listen).append( el("code", "element.addEventListener(type, listener, options)") )}. The library provides an alternative (${el("code", "on")}) accepting the differen order of the arguments: `), el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/events/compare.js"), page_id }), el("p").append(...T` …this is actually one of the two differences. The another one is that ${el("code", "on")} accepts only object as the ${el("code", "options")} (but it is still optional). `), el("p", { className: "notice" }).append(...T` The other difference is that there is ${el("strong", "no")} ${el("code", "off")} function. You can remove listener declaratively using ${el("a", { textContent: "AbortSignal", ...references.mdn_abortListener })}: `), el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/events/abortSignal.js"), page_id }), el("div", { className: "notice" }).append( el("p", t`So, there are (typically) three ways to handle events. You can use:`), el("ul").append( el("li").append( el("code", `el("button", { textContent: "click me", "=onclick": "console.log(event)" })`)), el("li").append( el("code", `el("button", { textContent: "click me", onclick: console.log })`)), el("li").append( el("code", `el("button", { textContent: "click me" }, on("click", console.log))`)) ), el("p").append(...T` In the first example we force to use HTML attribute (it corresponds to ${el("code", ``)}). ${el("em", t`Side note: this can be useful in case of SSR.`)} To study difference, you can read a nice summary here: ${el("a", { textContent: "GIST @WebReflection/web_events.md", ...references.web_events })}. `) ), el(h3, t`Addons`), el("p").append(...T` From practical point of view, ${el("em", t`Addons`)} are just functions that accept any HTML element as their first parameter. You can see that the ${el("code", "on(…)")} fullfills this requirement. `), el("p").append(...T` You can use Addons as ≥3rd argument of ${el("code", "el")} function. This way is possible to extends your templates by additional (3rd party) functionalities. But for now mainly, you can add events listeners: `), el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/events/templateWithListeners.js"), page_id }), el("p").append(...T` As the example shows, you can also provide types in JSDoc+TypeScript by using global type ${el("code", "ddeElementAddon")}. Also notice, you can use Addons to get element reference. `), el(h3, t`Life-cycle events`), el("p").append(...T` Addons are called immediately when the element is created, even it is not connected to live DOM yet. Therefore, you can understand the Addon to be “oncreate” event. `), el("p").append(...T` The library provide three additional live-cycle events corresponding to how they are named in a case of custom elements: ${el("code", "on.connected")}, ${el("code", "on.disconnected")} and ${el("code", "on.attributeChanged")}. `), el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/events/live-cycle.js"), page_id }), el("p").append(...T` For Custom elements, we will later introduce a way to replace ${el("code", "*Callback")} syntax with ${el("code", "dde:*")} events. The ${el("code", "on.*")} functions then listen to the appropriate Custom Elements events (see ${el("a", { textContent: t`Custom element lifecycle callbacks | MDN`, ...references.mdn_customElement })}). `), el("p").append(...T` But, in case of regular elemnets the ${el("a", references.mdn_mutation).append(el("code", "MutationObserver"), " | MDN")} is internaly used to track these events. Therefore, there are some drawbacks: `), el("ul").append( el("li").append(...T` To proper listener registration, you need to use ${el("code", "on.*")} not \`on("dde:*", …)\`! `), el("li").append(...T` Use sparingly! Internally, library must loop of all registered events and fires event properly. ${el("strong", t`It is good practice to use the fact that if an element is removed, its children are also removed!`)} In this spirit, we will introduce later the ${el("strong", t`host`)} syntax to register, clean up procedures when the component is removed from the app. `), ), el("p").append(...T` To provide intuitive behaviour, similar also to how the life-cycle events works in other frameworks/libraries, deka-dom-el library ensures that ${el("code", "on.connected")} and ${el("code", "on.disconnected")} are called only once and only when the element, is (dis)connected to live DOM. The solution is inspired by ${el("a", { textContent: "Vue", ...references.vue_fix })}. For using native behaviour re-(dis)connecting element, use: `), el("ul").append( el("li").append(...T`custom ${el("code", "MutationObserver")} or logic in (dis)${el("code", "connectedCallback")} or…`), el("li").append(...T`re-add ${el("code", "on.connected")} or ${el("code", "on.disconnected")} listeners.`) ), el(h3, t`Final notes`), el("p", t`The library also provides a method to dispatch the events.`), el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/events/compareDispatch.js"), page_id }), el(mnemonic) ); }
