What are add-dom-event-listener's main functionalities?

Add Event Listener

This feature allows you to add an event listener to a DOM element. In this example, a click event listener is added to an element with the ID 'myElement'. When the element is clicked, 'Element clicked!' is logged to the console.

const addEventListener = require('add-dom-event-listener');

const handleClick = () => {
  console.log('Element clicked!');
};

const element = document.getElementById('myElement');
const listener = addEventListener(element, 'click', handleClick);

Remove Event Listener

This feature allows you to remove an event listener that was previously added. In this example, the click event listener added in the previous feature is removed.

listener.remove();
