unicorn/no-invalid-remove-event-listener Correctness
What it does
It warns when you use a non-function value as the second argument of removeEventListener
.
Why is this bad?
The removeEventListener
function must be called with a reference to the same function that was passed to addEventListener
. Calling removeEventListener
with an inline function or the result of an inline .bind()
call is indicative of an error, and won't actually remove the listener.
Examples
Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
javascript
el.removeEventListener("click", () => {});
el.removeEventListener("click", function() {});
Examples of correct code for this rule:
javascript
el.removeEventListener("click", handler);
el.removeEventListener("click", handler.bind(this));
How to use

bash
oxlint --deny unicorn/no-invalid-remove-event-listener
json
{
"rules": {
"unicorn/no-invalid-remove-event-listener": "error"
