I would recommend using event delegation instead of directly attaching event handlers to elements. This can improve performance, especially when dealing with a large number of events.
JavaScript:
$(document).on("click", ".button", function() {
// code
});
By using event delegation, you attach the event handler to a single parent element (in this case, the document) rather than to each individual .button element. This reduces the number of event listeners in your application, which can help improve performance.
Be selective with the parent element when using event delegation. Ideally, choose a parent that is as close as possible to the target elements to minimize event bubbling. Use the
.off()
method to remove any unnecessary event handle rs when they're no longer needed, particularly for dynamically added elements. Throttle or debounce events that fire rapidly, such as window scroll or resize events, to limit the number of times the event handler is called.
