too many event listeners on window?

This library aims to gather all handlers in one listener. This way the number of listeners are reduced.
Performance intense listeners are wrapped in a requestAnimationFrame.
If a certain limit of handlers is reached events will be throttled. Everything is configurable. You can even create your own module and lock certain features.

available listeners

• scroll
• resize
• mousewheel
• mousemove
• mouseup (default behavior)
• touchmove
• touchend (default behavior)

Examples

Look at the examples folder for a detailed example

simple

import OneListener from 'one-listener';

const one = new OneListener({
    limit: 6,
    throttle: 200
});
const {requestEventListener, cancelEventListener} = one;

API

import OneListener from 'one-listener';
const one = new OneListener()
const {requestEventListener, cancelEventListener} = one;


// request mousemove 
const stopMoveTracking = requestEventListener('mousemove', (e) => {
    console.log({
        x: e.pageX,
        y: e.pageY
    });
});

// request scroll
// and cancel mousemove on condition 
const trackScroll = (e) => {
    console.log(window.scrollY);
    if (window.scrollY > 100) {
        stopMoveTracking();
    }
};

requestEventListener('scroll', trackScroll);

// remove scroll tracking after 5 seconds
setTimeout(() => {
    cancelEventListener('scroll', trackScroll);
}, 5000);

Setters

import OneListener from 'one-listener';

const one = new OneListener();
one.limit = 20
one.throttle = 200

Getters

import OneListener from 'one-listener';

const one = new OneListener();
console.log(one.limit);
console.log(one.throttle);
console.log(one.debug);

locked instances

import OneListener from 'one-listener';

// create locked instances (listeners.js)
const o = new OneListener({
    limit: 6,
    throttle: 200
});
const n = new OneListener({
    limit: Infinity
});
const a = new OneListener({
    limit: 0,
    throttle: 100
});

export const one = {
  requestEventListener: o.requestEventListener,
  cancelEventListener: o.cancelEventListener
}
export const always = {
  requestEventListener: a.requestEventListener,
  cancelEventListener: a.cancelEventListener
}
export const never = {
  requestEventListener: n.requestEventListener,
  cancelEventListener: n.cancelEventListener
}


// then import (somefile.js)

import {one,never,always} from './listeners';
const {requestEventListener, cancelEventListener} = one;

//requestEventListener() || one.requestEventListener()
//always.requestEventListener()
//never.requestEventListener()
