after dismissing a menu by clicking anywhere else on the page, I noticed when console logging from the callback that document.body
will 'remember' the previous event listeners after I move on to another template and trigger the same behavior. The callback is dismissMenu
found below. For example...
First time:
hello
Second time:
hello hello
Etc....
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks!
// named callback to dismiss menu so I can unbind later using $.off()
const dismissMenu = function() {
console.log('hello')
$('.js-dd').addClass('js-hidden')
Session.set('menuOpen', false)
$(document.body).off('click', dismissMenu)
}
Template.app_bar_expanded.onCreated(function() {
this.stackId = FlowRouter.getParam('_id')
// opening the menu will trigger the Session var to 'true'
Tracker.autorun(function() {
const menuIsOpen = Session.get('menuOpen')
if( menuIsOpen ) {
$(document.body).on('click', dismissMenu)
}
})
})
// Stem the event bleeding some...
// TODO get this .off() to actually work as you would expect.
Template.app_bar_expanded.onDestroyed(function(){
$(document.body).off('click', dismissMenu)
})
