An implementation of [WHATWG `EventTarget` interface](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-eventtarget) and [WHATWG `Event` interface](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-event). This implementation supports constructor, `passive`, `once`, and `signal`.

This implementation is designed ...

- Working fine on both browsers and Node.js.
- TypeScript friendly.

## 💿 Installation

Use [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) or a compatible tool.

```
npm install event-target-shim
```

## 📖 Getting started

```js
import { EventTarget, Event } from "event-target-shim";

// constructor (was added to the standard on 8 Jul 2017)
const myNode = new EventTarget();

// passive flag (was added to the standard on 6 Jan 2016)
myNode.addEventListener(
"hello",
(e) => {
e.preventDefault(); // ignored and print warning on console.
},
{ passive: true }
);

// once flag (was added to the standard on 15 Apr 2016)
myNode.addEventListener("hello", listener, { once: true });
myNode.dispatchEvent(new Event("hello")); // remove the listener after call.

// signal (was added to the standard on 4 Dec 2020)
const ac = new AbortController();
myNode.addEventListener("hello", listener, { signal: ac.signal });
ac.abort(); // remove the listener.
```

- For browsers, there are two ways:
- use a bundler such as [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) to bundle. If you want to support IE11, use `import {} from "event-target-shim/es5"` instead. It's a transpiled code by babel. It depends on `@baebl/runtime` (`^7.12.0`) package.
- use CDN such as `unpkg.com`. For example, `` will define `EventTargetShim` global variable.
- The `AbortController` class was added to the standard on 14 Jul 2017. If you want the shim of that, use [abort-controller](https://www.npmjs.com/package/abort-controller) package.
