There isn't any direct API for this, but it can be accessed in a kind of intrusive way.
By overriding HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener we can catch added events and store them in an array for example.
const listeners = []
const originalAddEventListener = HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener
HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener = function(type, listener, options) {
listeners.push({
element: this,
type,
listener,
options
})
// call the original listener with current this and provided arguments
return originalAddEventListener.call(this, type, listener, options)
}
Full snippet with example:
const listeners = []
const originalAddEventListener = HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener
HTMLElement.prototype.addEventListener = function(type, listener, options) {
listeners.push({
element: this,
type,
listener,
options
})
return originalAddEventListener.call(this, type, listener, options)
}
document.querySelector('p').addEventListener('click', () => {
console.log('clicked')
}, false)
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', () => console.log(listeners))p {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
color: white;
}<button>list listeners</button>
