Benefits of the Event Listeners Tab

The various benefits of the Event Listeners Tab are:

  • View events listeners: In the tab, you get a list of all events listeners associated with the selected element. This helps a lot to inspect the various types of listeners associated with the element, which may not be possible in a huge codebase.
  • Link to Sources Tab: If you expand the linked event listener, you will get the respective file name along with the line number where the event listener is defined. This file name works as a link, and when clicked, it will bring you to the respective file with the respective line number in the Sources tab.
  • Option to remove: You can also remove the event listener for debugging or testing purposes. Sometimes, because of multiple event listeners, it becomes very hard to test a particular event, so this option comes in handy.
