on

(

)
EventHandle

Provided by the node-base module.

Defined in node/js/node-event.js:101

Subscribe a callback function for each Node in the collection to execute in response to a DOM event.

NOTE: Generally, the on() method should be avoided on NodeLists, in favor of using event delegation from a parent Node. See the Event user guide for details.

Most DOM events are associated with a preventable default behavior, such as link clicks navigating to a new page. Callbacks are passed a DOMEventFacade object as their first argument (usually called e) that can be used to prevent this default behavior with e.preventDefault(). See the DOMEventFacade API for all available properties and methods on the object.

By default, the this object will be the NodeList that the subscription came from, not the Node that received the event. Use e.currentTarget to refer to the Node.

Returning false from a callback is supported as an alternative to calling e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();. However, it is recommended to use the event methods.

Parameters:

  • type String

    The name of the event

  • fn Function

    The callback to execute in response to the event

  • [context] Object optional

    Override this object in callback

  • [arg*] Any optional

    0..n additional arguments to supply to the subscriber

Returns:

EventHandle: A subscription handle capable of detaching that subscription

Example:

Y.all(".sku").on("keydown", function (e) {
    if (e.keyCode === 13) {
        e.preventDefault();

        // Use e.currentTarget to refer to the individual Node
        var item = Y.MyApp.searchInventory( e.currentTarget.get('value') );
        // etc ...
    }
});
