# Day 22
## DOM(Document Object Model)-Day 3
### Event Listeners
Common HTML events:onclick, onchange, onmouseover, onmouseout, onkeydown, onkeyup, onload.
We can add event listener method to any DOM object. We use **_addEventListener()_** method to listen different event types on HTML elements. The _addEventListener()_ method takes two arguments, an event listener and a callback function.
// the activity you want to occur after the event will be in here
})
// or
selectedElement.addEventListener('eventlistner', e => {
// the activity you want to occur after the event will be in here
})
```
#### Click
To attach an event listener to an element, first we select the element then we attach the addEventListener method. The event listener takes event type and callback functions as argument.
The following is an example of click type event.
**Example: click**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model</title>
</head>
<body>
<button>Click Me</button>
<script>
const button = document.querySelector('button')
button.addEventListener('click', e => {
console.log('e gives the event listener object:', e)
console.log('e.target gives the selected element: ', e.target)
console.log(
'e.target.textContent gives content of selected element: ',
e.target.textContent
)
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
An event can be also attached directly to the HTML element as inline script.
**Example: onclick**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model</title>
</head>
<body>
<buttononclick="clickMe()">Click Me</button>
<script>
const clickMe = () => {
alert('We can attach event on HTML element')
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### Double Click
To attach an event listener to an element, first we select the element then we attach the addEventListener method. The event listener takes event type and callback functions as argument.
The following is an example of click type event.
**Example: dblclick**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model</title>
</head>
<body>
<button>Click Me</button>
<script>
const button = document.querySelector('button')
button.addEventListener('dblclick', e => {
console.log('e gives the event listener object:', e)
console.log('e.target gives the selected element: ', e.target)
console.log(
'e.target.textContent gives content of selected element: ',
e.target.textContent
)
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### Mouse enter
To attach an event listener to an element, first we select the element then we attach the addEventListener method. The event listener takes event type and callback functions as argument.
The following is an example of click type event.
**Example: mouseenter**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model</title>
</head>
<body>
<button>Click Me</button>
<script>
const button = document.querySelector('button')
button.addEventListener('mouseenter', e => {
console.log('e gives the event listener object:', e)
console.log('e.target gives the selected element: ', e.target)
console.log(
'e.target.textContent gives content of selected element: ',
e.target.textContent
)
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
By now you are familiar with addEventListen method and how to attach event listener. There are many types of event listeners. But in this challenge we will focus the most common important events.
List of events:
- click - when the element clicked
- dbclick - when the element double clicked
- mouseenter - when the mouse point enter to the element
- mouseleave - when the mouse pointer leave the element
- mousemove - when the mouse pointer move on the element
- mouseover - when the mouse pointer move on the element
- mouseout -when the mouse pointer out from the element
- input -when value enter to input field
- change -when value change on input field
- blur -when the element is not focused
- keydown - when a key is down
- keyup - when a key is up
- keypress - when we press any key
- onload - when the browser has finished loading a page
Test the above event types by replacing event type in the above snippet code.
### Getting value from an input element
We usually fill forms and forms accept data. Form fields are created using input HTML element. Let us build a small application which allow us to calculate body mas index of a person using two input fields, one button and one p tag.
### input value
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model:30 Days Of JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Body Mass Index Calculator</h1>
<inputtype="text"id="mass"placeholder="Mass in Kilogram"/>
<inputtype="text"id="height"placeholder="Height in meters"/>
<button>Calculate BMI</button>
<script>
const mass = document.querySelector('#mass')
const height = document.querySelector('#height')
const button = document.querySelector('button')
let bmi
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
bmi = mass.value / height.value ** 2
alert(`your bmi is ${bmi.toFixed(2)}`)
console.log(bmi)
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### input event and change
In the above example, we managed to get input values from two input fields by clicking button. How about if we want to get value without click the button. We can use the _change_ or _input_ event type to get data right away from the input field when the field is on focus. Let us see how we will handle that.
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model:30 Days Of JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Data Binding using input or change event</h1>
<inputtype="text"placeholder="say something"/>
<p></p>
<script>
const input = document.querySelector('input')
const p = document.querySelector('p')
input.addEventListener('input', e => {
p.textContent = e.target.value
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### blur event
In contrast to _input_ or _change_, the _blur_ event occur when the input field is not on focus.
```js
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model:30 Days Of JavaScript</title>
We can access all the key numbers of the keyboard using different event listener types. Let us use keypress and get the keyCode of each keyboard keys.
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Object Model:30 Days Of JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Key events: Press any key</h1>
<script>
document.body.addEventListener('keypress', e => {
alert(e.keyCode)
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
