Handle all events with eventListener object handle event method

[JonathonRP]

It would be nice if 'listen' util method could handle events similar to article solution - https://webreflection.medium.com/dom-handleevent-a-cross-platform-standard-since-year-2000-5bf17287fd38.

Not sure what is the merit of this solution here. The library already implements event delegation and has been tested for memory usage pre event delegation and post delegation

[JonathonRP]

I believe the crutch Memory usage per event vs only a single allocation for every event?

[PuruVJ]

Not sure what you mean? Have you seen the setup listeners function in core/index.ts? That is event delegation and it works well

[JonathonRP]

All I see in packages/core/src/index.ts is a listen that just calls add listener for both main branch and new-api branch

[PuruVJ]

Please study the new-api branch’s core/index.ts thoroughly. This does not need the handleEvent

Still looks like you are initializing 4 listeners, that hold single function call through binding to self functions for handling, when you could just have listen(el, this), and example implementation

handleEvent(type) {
this[`on${type}`].call().bind(this);
}

Unless I am missing something.

I'm not sure I get the advantages of this in the context. Please raise a PR with the testes changes and we can discuss further there
