To me he's the best tutor i've ever found on the internet

[@Wesley-Insley-Comedy]

WDS is so nice. no "WHATS UP GUYS AND TODAAY WE ARE LEARNINGGG" - nope. Just a nice, calm, easy to listen to voice and concise and succinct explanations. six months ago I didn't know the difference between the different css selectors and now I am comfortable with react & have started working with firebase. MOST of that came knowledge came from this channel. Couldn't be more grateful. Thanks dude!

[@WebDevSimplified]

I'm so glad I could help!

[@oortcloud210]

Been coding in JS for 25 years and didn't know about doing a matches call on an event object. It's why I look at videos like this now and then. To refresh and also because you are always learning something new!

[@sapindersingh1165]

I rarely like a video on youtube and this one deserves it. These 18 minutes just leveled up my knowledge about event listeners. Thanks Kyle!

When looking for to wrap 1 click event listener around multiple buttons but have each button do it's own thing this pops up and is an absolute god send, now I can clean up my clunky code and publish my Accessibility extention!!!!!! Finally after weeks of errors a solution arrives in hair slick back

[@azuboof]

wait how the fuck am i understanding it all even when im tired and sleepy and not putting 100% attention its just flowing into my ears, the explanation is so simple and good. Thank you goat

[@raamch]

You're a leader... Who inspires many and leads the beginner warriors.

[@gettingComputey]

I've seen a lot of event listener tutorials and this one is best explained. Thank you!

[@pavkey88]

Not only is this a great tutorial on event listeners, it’s also a great way to approach learning how to debug

[@ashkanahmadi]

I was scratching my head for DAYS how to solve the event delegation problem. This finally solved my problem. THANK YOU

[@valeriatapia1128]

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND event listeners!! Thanks Kyle!! You're a life saver!

[@Pareshbpatel]

Listen up! - This is, by far , the best tutorial on event listeners I have ever come across. Thank you, Kyle {2021-06-29}

[@stevenleonmusic]

I love event delegation but the one caveat I have is that e. target is always the *most deeply-nested* element. If you want to have your delegate listen for a click event you will be sorely disappointed when it never runs or behaves unexpectedly because your elements are the actual click targets. I've been looking for a clean solution but the easiest thing is to just use a selector that will include the child elements or base everything on the child elements instead of trying to do a container element.

[@maxathanja]

Wow, this is just what I need at the moment. You’re a lifesaver, thanks!

[@AndrewMelnychuk0seen]

I'm coming from C++ and python and your videos have made me way less mad at javascript. Keep up the great work.

All the sudden I had to start working with JavaScript and I did not put my hands on it since… somewhere around 2008. Your crash courses are being a life savior. Thanks. Btw, great job!

Hey there, Web Dev Simplified! I just wanted to say that your video on avoiding getting stuck on JavaScript by doing simple things really helped me. Since then, I have attempted to change the way I study JavaScript and while I can't say that I'm striding, I'm definitely moving at a faster pace. I hope you realize just how much you mean to us! Like seriously, your calm mentoring demeanor alone makes these lessons so much more watchable. Thanks a ton!

[@CoryJaccino]

This is one of many reasons why I’ve bought all of his courses.

[@CoryJaccino]

I’d love to see another video on that last part - or even a course - on React (or Angular since I’m starting to learn observables) and event listener best practices. The more projects the better. Thanks for this great video, Kyle!

[@WebDevSimplified]

Thank you so much for the support. I will keep this in mind for when I update my React course.

[@CoryJaccino]

@@WebDevSimplified Hey Kyle, I think Ali is on to something. You could make an awesome course on data structures, especially as they are used in the frontend. You could teach it in JavaScript and then show it in React or even in various libraries like Angular, Vue, etc. That would give your courses even more breadth / exposure. Just throwing it out there.

[@kirksurber7262]

just spent 12 hours yesterday trying to figure why a delete button wouldn't function on a shopping list I'm making. Here you are explaining it in minutes lol

[@thewetfly9207]

Add Event Listener for future elements blow my mind. Respect 😎

[@namesaditya]

The last one - adding the globalEventListener is a really good trick. Thanks man

[@bigbtripathi]

This is the best explanation of event listeners that I have found in youtube so far.

[@aluuusch]

It's a very good tutorial. That being said you might wanna show the html-file shortly in the beginning of the video - just for a better understanding.

[@angelsunshine885]

You Sir, my FANTASTIC teacher! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing such valuable and well-explained content!

[@OrmHaxanThle]

I've brought so many content about JS, Node.js , ALGORITHMS, Design Patters from different instructors and I have NEVER been able to understand any of these in such depth as Kyle makes me do.

[@michaeld663]

Thanks solved my problem with the event delegation. I spent like an hour trying to figure it out.

[@davidrowlands8962]

I had understood bubbling since we commonly deal with it, but never really got my head around capturing until this video. Now I understand the third argument in the event parameters. This video has made it crystal clear to me. Thanks very much.

[@reaperforever8478]

This has made my day , I have been working on a routine app to better schedule my classes , in vanilla js with ejs as a templating engine , used a event listener to attach to a modal for picking the time but I needed some way to delete the event listener after I'm done otherwise it would change all the dates at once , this has saved soo much time

[@PunkSage]

Excellent explanation. I think that a difference between stopPropagation vs stopImmediatePropagation was also worth mentioning.

[@xGalasko]

easiest way to remember bubbling is that in a row of bubbles if i throw a needles through the bubbles they will pip one after the other in a row til the last one, but when you capture something with a camera for example, the closest thing to the lens will be captured first etc

[@vincentjohnflorio]

The beauty of the event delegation at the end is that it's a conventional event listener on the one "element" that there can't be more of and would never need delegation. You produce new things within it, but never a new "it" entirely. So it's a "live" content check.

[@richardramirez5746]

It's really useful to watch your videos. You keep the same calmed speaking.. I appreciate that!

[@parmeetsingh9766]

I am not gonna lie I found this video as extremely useful as everything I need is in one place and don't need to look around. I am not using Event listeners very often even I would (I am not pro, sorry ) but this video made me to learn more about.

function addGlobalListener(type, selector, callback){ document.addEventListener(type, e => { if(e.target.matches(selector))callback(e) }) }

[@paymankhayree8552]

Another workaround would be to add a parent div to those divs and listen for the events on that parent div

[@kingwoodbudo]

This was great. Kind of spooky at the same time as I've been working on a project at work this last week involving bubbling and how to get the tool tips to only show up for the element I've on, not the parent. Lots of other good info that I plan on using. Thank you very much!

I would also mention how to trigger custom events: const someElement = document.querySelector( '#some-element' ); someElement.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent( 'myEvent', { 'detail': { customValue: "test" } } ) ); someElement.addEventListener( 'myEvent', e => { console.log( e.detail.customValue ) } ); // test I personally use this in angular projects, when there is a js code in assets folder and I need to perform some actions inside ts code (component) depending on js code

[@ramanansivagnanam4285]

Yes some enterprise applications it will be useful to have custom events based on component data manipulation 💥
