如何在 jQuery 中记录由一个元素触发的所有事件？

$(element).on("click mousedown mouseup focus blur keydown change",function(e){
console.log(e);
});

That will get you a lot (but not all) of the information on if an event is fired... other than manually coding it like this, I can't think of any other way to do that.

Just add this to the page and no other worries, will handle rest for you:

$('input').live('click mousedown mouseup focus keydown change blur', function(e) {
console.log(e);
});

You can also use console.log('Input event:' + e.type) to make it easier.

There is a nice generic way using the .data('events') collection:

function getEventsList($obj) {
var ev = new Array(),
events = $obj.data('events'),
i;
for(i in events) { ev.push(i); }
return ev.join(' ');
}


$obj.on(getEventsList($obj), function(e) {
console.log(e);
});

This logs every event that has been already bound to the element by jQuery the moment this specific event gets fired. This code was pretty damn helpful for me many times.

Btw: If you want to see every possible event being fired on an object use firebug: just right click on the DOM element in html tab and check "Log Events". Every event then gets logged to the console (this is sometimes a bit annoying because it logs every mouse movement...).

I know the answer has already been accepted to this, but I think there might be a slightly more reliable way where you don't necessarily have to know the name of the event beforehand. This only works for native events though as far as I know, not custom ones that have been created by plugins. I opted to omit the use of jQuery to simplify things a little.

let input = document.getElementById('inputId');


Object.getOwnPropertyNames(input)
.filter(key => key.slice(0, 2) === 'on')
.map(key => key.slice(2))
.forEach(eventName => {
input.addEventListener(eventName, event => {
console.log(event.type);
console.log(event);
});
});

I hope this helps anyone who reads this.

EDIT

So I saw another question here that was similar, so another suggestion would be to do the following:

monitorEvents(document.getElementById('inputId'));

I have no idea why no-one uses this... (maybe because it's only a webkit thing)

Open console:

monitorEvents(document.body); // logs all events on the body


monitorEvents(document.body, 'mouse'); // logs mouse events on the body


monitorEvents(document.body.querySelectorAll('input')); // logs all events on inputs

$('body').on("click mousedown mouseup focus blur keydown change mouseup click dblclick mousemove mouseover mouseout mousewheel keydown keyup keypress textInput touchstart touchmove touchend touchcancel resize scroll zoom focus blur select change submit reset",function(e){
console.log(e);
});

https://github.com/robertleeplummerjr/wiretap.js

new Wiretap({
add: function() {
//fire when an event is bound to element
},
before: function() {
//fire just before an event executes, arguments are automatic
},
after: function() {
//fire just after an event executes, arguments are automatic
}
});

Old thread, I know. I needed also something to monitor events and wrote this very handy (excellent) solution. You can monitor all events with this hook (in windows programming this is called a hook). This hook does not affects the operation of your software/program.

In the console log you can see something like this:

Explanation of what you see:

In the console log you will see all events you select (see below "how to use") and shows the object-type, classname(s), id, <:name of function>, <:eventname>. The formatting of the objects is css-like.

When you click a button or whatever binded event, you will see it in the console log.

The code I wrote:

function setJQueryEventHandlersDebugHooks(bMonTrigger, bMonOn, bMonOff)
{
jQuery.fn.___getHookName___ = function()
{
// First, get object name
var sName = new String( this[0].constructor ),
i = sName.indexOf(' ');
sName = sName.substr( i, sName.indexOf('(')-i );


// Classname can be more than one, add class points to all
if( typeof this[0].className === 'string' )
{
var sClasses = this[0].className.split(' ');
sClasses[0]='.'+sClasses[0];
sClasses = sClasses.join('.');
sName+=sClasses;
}
// Get id if there is one
sName+=(this[0].id)?('#'+this[0].id):'';
return sName;
};


var bTrigger        = (typeof bMonTrigger !== "undefined")?bMonTrigger:true,
bOn             = (typeof bMonOn !== "undefined")?bMonOn:true,
bOff            = (typeof bMonOff !== "undefined")?bMonOff:true,
fTriggerInherited = jQuery.fn.trigger,
fOnInherited    = jQuery.fn.on,
fOffInherited   = jQuery.fn.off;


if( bTrigger )
{
jQuery.fn.trigger = function()
{
console.log( this.___getHookName___()+':trigger('+arguments[0]+')' );
return fTriggerInherited.apply(this,arguments);
};
}


if( bOn )
{
jQuery.fn.on = function()
{
if( !this[0].__hooked__ )
{
this[0].__hooked__ = true; // avoids infinite loop!
console.log( this.___getHookName___()+':on('+arguments[0]+') - binded' );
$(this).on( arguments[0], function(e)
{
console.log( $(this).___getHookName___()+':'+e.type );
});
}
var uResult = fOnInherited.apply(this,arguments);
this[0].__hooked__ = false; // reset for another event
return uResult;
};
}


if( bOff )
{
jQuery.fn.off = function()
{
if( !this[0].__unhooked__ )
{
this[0].__unhooked__ = true; // avoids infinite loop!
console.log( this.___getHookName___()+':off('+arguments[0]+') - unbinded' );
$(this).off( arguments[0] );
}


var uResult = fOffInherited.apply(this,arguments);
this[0].__unhooked__ = false; // reset for another event
return uResult;
};
}
}

Examples how to use it:

Monitor all events:

setJQueryEventHandlersDebugHooks();

Monitor all triggers only:

setJQueryEventHandlersDebugHooks(true,false,false);

Monitor all ON events only:

setJQueryEventHandlersDebugHooks(false,true,false);

Monitor all OFF unbinds only:

setJQueryEventHandlersDebugHooks(false,false,true);

Remarks/Notice:

• Use this for debugging only, turn it off when using in product final version
• If you want to see all events, you have to call this function directly after jQuery is loaded
• If you want to see only less events, you can call the function on the time you need it
• If you want to auto execute it, place ( )(); around function

Hope it helps! ;-)

STEP 1: Check the events for an HTML element on the developer console:

STEP 2: Listen to the events we want to capture:

$(document).on('ch-ui-container-closed ch-ui-container-opened', function(evt){
console.log(evt);
});

Good Luck...

This uses a bit of ES6 for prettiness, but can easily be translated for legacy browsers as well. In the function attached to the event listeners, it's currently just logging out what kind of event occurred but this is where you could print out additional information, or using a switch case on the e.type, you could only print information on specific events

Here is a non-jquery way to monitor events in the console with your code and without the use of monitorEvents() because that only works in Chrome Developer Console. You can also choose to not monitor certain events by editing the no_watch array.

    function getEvents(obj) {
window["events_list"] = [];
var no_watch = ['mouse', 'pointer']; // Array of event types not to watch
var no_watch_reg = new RegExp(no_watch.join("|"));


for (var prop in obj) {
if (prop.indexOf("on") === 0) {
prop = prop.substring(2); // remove "on" from beginning
if (!prop.match(no_watch_reg)) {
window["events_list"].push(prop);
window.addEventListener(prop, function() {
console.log(this.event); // Display fired event in console
} , false);
}
}
}
window["events_list"].sort(); // Alphabetical order


}


getEvents(document); // Put window, document or any html element here
console.log(events_list); // List every event on element

How to listen for all events on an Element (Vanilla JS)

For all native events, we can retrieve a list of supported events by iterating over the target.onevent properties and installing our listener for all of them.

for (const key in target) {
if(/^on/.test(key)) {
const eventType = key.substr(2);
target.addEventListener(eventType, listener);
}
}

The only other way that events are emitted which I know of is via EventTarget.dispatchEvent, which every Node and thefore every Element inherits.
To listen for all these manually triggered events, we can proxy the dispatchEvent method globally and install our listener just-in-time for the event whose name we just saw ✨ ^^

const dispatchEvent_original = EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent;
EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent = function (event) {
if (!alreadyListenedEventTypes.has(event.type)) {
target.addEventListener(event.type, listener, ...otherArguments);
alreadyListenedEventTypes.add(event.type);
}
dispatchEvent_original.apply(this, arguments);
};

🔥 function snippet 🔥

function addEventListenerAll(target, listener, ...otherArguments) {


// install listeners for all natively triggered events
for (const key in target) {
if (/^on/.test(key)) {
const eventType = key.substr(2);
target.addEventListener(eventType, listener, ...otherArguments);
}
}


// dynamically install listeners for all manually triggered events, just-in-time before they're dispatched ;D
const dispatchEvent_original = EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent;
function dispatchEvent(event) {
target.addEventListener(event.type, listener, ...otherArguments);  // multiple identical listeners are automatically discarded
dispatchEvent_original.apply(this, arguments);
}
EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent = dispatchEvent;
if (EventTarget.prototype.dispatchEvent !== dispatchEvent) throw new Error(`Browser is smarter than you think!`);


}




// usage example
const input = document.querySelector('input');
addEventListenerAll(input, (evt) => {
console.log(evt.type);
});
input.focus();
input.click();
input.dispatchEvent(new Event('omg!', { bubbles: true }));




// usage example with `useCapture`
// (also receives `bubbles: false` events, but in reverse order)
addEventListenerAll(
input,
(evt) => { console.log(evt.type); },
true
);
document.body.dispatchEvent(new Event('omfggg!', { bubbles: false }));
