Installation
$ yarn add default-passive-events
Usage
Simply require the package:
require('default-passive-events');
Those are some examples and their output:
document.addEventListener('click', onClick); // {passive: true, capture: false}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, true); // {passive: true, capture: true}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, false); // {passive: true, capture: false}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, {passive: false}); // {passive: false, capture: false}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, {passive: false, capture: false}); // {passive: false, capture: false}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, {passive: false, capture: true}); // {passive: false, capture: true}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, {passive: true, capture: false}); // {passive: true, capture: false}
document.addEventListener('click', onClick, {passive: true, capture: true}); // {passive: true, capture: true}Check the demo.html for a working example.
