How to clear click event in JavaScript

When writing JavaScript programs, we usually use click events to perform some operations. But sometimes we need to clear the bound click event, then we need to write some code to implement this function.

In JavaScript, we can use the removeEventListener() method to clear the specified event. This method requires two parameters: the name of the event to be cleared and the function to be cleared.

The following is a simple example that demonstrates how to clear a click event:

// 添加点击事件
function handleClick() {
  console.log("clicked");
}

document.addEventListener("click", handleClick);

// 移除点击事件
document.removeEventListener("click", handleClick);

In this example, we first define the handleClick function and bind it to the document using the addEventListener() method on the object's click event. We then use the removeEventListener() method to remove the handleClick function from the click event.

It should be noted that when we use the addEventListener() method to bind an event, JavaScript will create a new listener for the event. Therefore, we need to make sure to clear the listener using the removeEventListener() method.

If there are multiple elements on our page bound to different functions of the same event, we can also clear them through a loop. Here is an example that demonstrates how to clear multiple click events:

// 添加多个点击事件
function handleFirstClick() {
  console.log("first clicked");
}

document.getElementById("button1").addEventListener("click", handleFirstClick);

function handleSecondClick() {
  console.log("second clicked");
}

document.getElementById("button2").addEventListener("click", handleSecondClick);

// 移除多个点击事件
var buttons = document.querySelectorAll("button");

buttons.forEach(function(button) {
  button.removeEventListener("click", handleFirstClick);
  button.removeEventListener("click", handleSecondClick);
});

In this example, we first add click events for two different buttons, each event is bound to a different function. We then select all button elements using the querySelectorAll() method and loop through them using the forEach() method, removing the handleFirstClick and handleSecondClick functions in turn.

It should be noted that we need to call the removeEventListener() method for each function to be cleared. If there are many functions, we could consider storing them into an array and clearing them with a loop over the array.

To summarize, JavaScript provides the removeEventListener() method to clear the specified event. We can use this method with a single function, multiple functions on a single element, or multiple functions on multiple elements. Note that you must use the addEventListener() method to bind the function to the corresponding event before using this method.
