回答我自己的问题:
在编写自定义对象时最好使用回调,这些对象不会生成或使用事件作为 DOM 交互的一部分。jQuery 的 on/trigger 事件处理的使用继承了许多额外的代码路径,因为它与 jQuery 更大的事件处理子系统挂钩。一些逻辑用于处理浏览器差异。使用附加代码是因为它重用和/或复制了 Web 浏览器中的事件处理功能,但在跨浏览器上下文中。
相比之下,使用自定义回调处理是微不足道的。Jquery 还提供了 $.Callbacks 函数,它可以节省一些编码,并且可以选择包含更高级的回调功能。
对这个问题的更完整的答案将提供各种方法的时序分析。但是,仅 jquery v1.9.1 的来源就提供了强有力的轶事证据:
jQuery的触发方法:
trigger: function( event, data, elem, onlyHandlers ) {
var handle, ontype, cur,
bubbleType, special, tmp, i,
eventPath = [ elem || document ],
type = core_hasOwn.call( event, "type" ) ? event.type : event,
namespaces = core_hasOwn.call( event, "namespace" ) ? event.namespace.split(".") : [];
cur = tmp = elem = elem || document;
// Don't do events on text and comment nodes
if ( elem.nodeType === 3 || elem.nodeType === 8 ) {
return;
}
// focus/blur morphs to focusin/out; ensure we're not firing them right now
if ( rfocusMorph.test( type + jQuery.event.triggered ) ) {
return;
}
if ( type.indexOf(".") >= 0 ) {
// Namespaced trigger; create a regexp to match event type in handle()
namespaces = type.split(".");
type = namespaces.shift();
namespaces.sort();
}
ontype = type.indexOf(":") < 0 && "on" + type;
// Caller can pass in a jQuery.Event object, Object, or just an event type string
event = event[ jQuery.expando ] ?
event :
new jQuery.Event( type, typeof event === "object" && event );
event.isTrigger = true;
event.namespace = namespaces.join(".");
event.namespace_re = event.namespace ?
new RegExp( "(^|\\.)" + namespaces.join("\\.(?:.*\\.|)") + "(\\.|$)" ) :
null;
// Clean up the event in case it is being reused
event.result = undefined;
if ( !event.target ) {
event.target = elem;
}
// Clone any incoming data and prepend the event, creating the handler arg list
data = data == null ?
[ event ] :
jQuery.makeArray( data, [ event ] );
// Allow special events to draw outside the lines
special = jQuery.event.special[ type ] || {};
if ( !onlyHandlers && special.trigger && special.trigger.apply( elem, data ) === false ) {
return;
}
// Determine event propagation path in advance, per W3C events spec (#9951)
// Bubble up to document, then to window; watch for a global ownerDocument var (#9724)
if ( !onlyHandlers && !special.noBubble && !jQuery.isWindow( elem ) ) {
bubbleType = special.delegateType || type;
if ( !rfocusMorph.test( bubbleType + type ) ) {
cur = cur.parentNode;
}
for ( ; cur; cur = cur.parentNode ) {
eventPath.push( cur );
tmp = cur;
}
// Only add window if we got to document (e.g., not plain obj or detached DOM)
if ( tmp === (elem.ownerDocument || document) ) {
eventPath.push( tmp.defaultView || tmp.parentWindow || window );
}
}
// Fire handlers on the event path
i = 0;
while ( (cur = eventPath[i++]) && !event.isPropagationStopped() ) {
event.type = i > 1 ?
bubbleType :
special.bindType || type;
// jQuery handler
handle = ( jQuery._data( cur, "events" ) || {} )[ event.type ] && jQuery._data( cur, "handle" );
if ( handle ) {
handle.apply( cur, data );
}
// Native handler
handle = ontype && cur[ ontype ];
if ( handle && jQuery.acceptData( cur ) && handle.apply && handle.apply( cur, data ) === false ) {
event.preventDefault();
}
}
event.type = type;
// If nobody prevented the default action, do it now
if ( !onlyHandlers && !event.isDefaultPrevented() ) {
if ( (!special._default || special._default.apply( elem.ownerDocument, data ) === false) &&
!(type === "click" && jQuery.nodeName( elem, "a" )) && jQuery.acceptData( elem ) ) {
// Call a native DOM method on the target with the same name name as the event.
// Can't use an .isFunction() check here because IE6/7 fails that test.
// Don't do default actions on window, that's where global variables be (#6170)
if ( ontype && elem[ type ] && !jQuery.isWindow( elem ) ) {
// Don't re-trigger an onFOO event when we call its FOO() method
tmp = elem[ ontype ];
if ( tmp ) {
elem[ ontype ] = null;
}
// Prevent re-triggering of the same event, since we already bubbled it above
jQuery.event.triggered = type;
try {
elem[ type ]();
} catch ( e ) {
// IE<9 dies on focus/blur to hidden element (#1486,#12518)
// only reproducible on winXP IE8 native, not IE9 in IE8 mode
}
jQuery.event.triggered = undefined;
if ( tmp ) {
elem[ ontype ] = tmp;
}
}
}
}
return event.result;
}
