Event handling

Attaching event listeners

You can add a custom handler to any available event with the dataview.events.on() method. The method takes the following parameters:

evName	the event name
evHandler	a custom event handler

dataview.events.on("click", function(id, e){
   console.log("The item with the id "+ dataview.selection.getId(id) +" was clicked.");
});

You can attach several handlers to the same event, and DataView runs all of them.

note

Event names are case-insensitive.

Detaching event listeners

The dataview.events.detach() method removes an event handler:

dataview.events.on("click", function(id, e){
   console.log("The item with the id "+ dataview.selection.getId(id) +" was clicked.");
});

dataview.events.detach("click");

Calling events

The dataview.events.fire() method calls an event:

dataview.events.fire("name",args);
// where args is an array of arguments
