I\'m trying to figure out how to listen for all events on a JavaScript object.

Answer 1

//listening for all click events on the document
   document.addEventListener('click', function (event) {

    //filtering for only events that happen on elements that contain the class
    //view_btn.          
  if (event.target.classList.contains( 'view_btn' )){
//logging out the id of the element        
          var id_of_clicked_element = event.target.getAttribute("id"); //
          console.log("button clicked has is of " + id_of_clicked_element)

        }
    });
