Compare with others

zenorocha/delegate is a popular library for delegate event:

delegate(document.body, '.btn', 'click', function(e) {
  console.log(e.delegateTarget)
}, false)

Works in React.js

render () {
  <div>
    <div ref="foo" />
  </div>
}
 
componentDidMount() {
  delegate(this.refs.foo, '.btn', 'click', this.handleClick, false)
}

Switch to delegate-to

document.body.addEventListener('click', delegate('.btn', e => {
  console.log(e.delegateTarget)
}), false)

Then in React.js

render () {
  <div>
    <div onClick={delegate('.btn', this.handelClick)} />
  </div>
}

You can see the advantage in delegate-to

• Fewer API interface (only 2 arguments)

• Works with normal addEventListener

• React(.jsx) friendly

• Flexibly, custom match condition
