The MDN told me how to create a custom event (which I didn't get it well)
var event = new Event('build');
// Listen for the event.
elem.addEventListener('build', function (e) { ... }, false);
// Dispatch the event.
elem.dispatchEvent(event);
and I know how to detect mouse scroll as well...
var doScroll = function (e) {
// cross-browser wheel delta
e = window.event || e;
var delta = Math.max(-1, Math.min(1, (e.wheelDelta || -e.detail)));
// Do something with `delta`
document.body.innerHTML = delta;
e.preventDefault();
};
if (window.addEventListener) {
window.addEventListener("mousewheel", doScroll, false);
window.addEventListener("DOMMouseScroll", doScroll, false);
} else {
window.attachEvent("onmousewheel", doScroll);
}
but I don't know how to mix these two with each other and create a custom event so I can have something like this:
window.addEventListener('scrollUp', sUpFunction);
window.addEventListener('scrollDown', sDownFunction);
Thank you guys.
First I would use the "wheel" event instead of the non-standardrized
"mousewheel" event.
I created a simple implementation of a scrollUp and scrollDown custom events dispatch.
EDIT
I have a added the IE polyfill for the CustomEvent in order to support IE as well
// For IE support
(function () {
if ( typeof window.CustomEvent === "function" ) return false; //If not IE
function CustomEvent ( event, params ) {
params = params || { bubbles: false, cancelable: false, detail: undefined };
var evt = document.createEvent( 'CustomEvent' );
evt.initCustomEvent( event, params.bubbles, params.cancelable, params.detail );
return evt;
}
CustomEvent.prototype = window.Event.prototype;
window.CustomEvent = CustomEvent;
})();
let element = document.getElementsByClassName("scroll-area")[0],
scrollUpEvent = new CustomEvent("scrollUp"),
scrollDownEvent = new CustomEvent("scrollDown");
function scrollDown(){
console.log("scrolled down");
}
function scrollUP(){
console.log("scrolled up");
}
function scrollHappened(e){
if(e.deltaY < 0){
element.dispatchEvent(scrollUpEvent);
} else {
element.dispatchEvent(scrollDownEvent);
}
}
element.addEventListener("wheel", scrollHappened);
element.addEventListener("scrollUp", scrollUP);
element.addEventListener("scrollDown", scrollDown);
.scroll-area {
border: solid 2px black;
height: 30px;
}
<div class="scroll-area">Scroll on me</div>
