In JavaScript, what is the best way to remove a function added as an event listener using bind()?
Example
(function(){
// constructor
MyClass = function() {
this.myButton = document.getElementById("myButtonID");
this.myButton.addEventListener("click", this.clickListener.bind(this));
};
MyClass.prototype.clickListener = function(event) {
console.log(this); // must be MyClass
};
// public method
MyClass.prototype.disableButton = function() {
this.myButton.removeEventListener("click", ___________);
};
})();
The only way I can think of is to keep track of every listener added with bind.
Above example with this method:
(function(){
// constructor
MyClass = function() {
this.myButton = document.getElementById("myButtonID");
this.clickListenerBind = this.clickListener.bind(this);
this.myButton.addEventListener("click", this.clickListenerBind);
};
MyClass.prototype.clickListener = function(event) {
console.log(this); // must be MyClass
};
// public method
MyClass.prototype.disableButton = function() {
this.myButton.removeEventListener("click", this.clickListenerBind);
};
})();
Are there any better ways to do this?
