API

require('add-event-listener') -> {addEventListener, removeEventListener}

require('add-event-listener') -> Function addEventListener

This package exports addEventListener (with a polyfill for attachEvent).

addEventListener and removeEventListener are available as properties on the export.

addEventListener(element, eventName, listener, useCapture=false|options?) -> undefined

Adds an event listener to an element. On IE<9, uses attachEvent. WARNING: If useCapture is true and this function is run on IE8, an exception will be thrown (since event capturing cannot be emulated.)

removeEventListener(element, eventName, listener, useCapture=false|options?) -> undefined

Remove an event listener from an element.
