event's Issues

rename?

maybe renamed to delegate since we need the stupid IE shims for addEventListener as well

Is there an interest for IE8 support?

The current implementation is unusable in IE8. Event handlers have no context, and event object doesn't have .target, .preventDefault, and .stopPropagation.

I'm aiming for at least 95% browser support in my projects, which right now (with IE8 9.6% market share according to statcounter) means all modern browsers + IE down to 8, so I'd need this library to be consistent with it.

The current PR #7 is trying to fix that but has some issues. I could put together a PR that patches them, but seeing that #7 has been open for 9 months without any reaction forces me to ask before wasting time.

The reason why I won't just create my own component is that I want to use the most popular components to achieve a project with minimum duplicate libraries with single purpose. In a case of event bindings it seems to be this one.

If there is no interest for IE8 support, to save me a future hassle, are all components in component/* namespace targeted for IE9+?

Provide default `capture` value

Although capture is optional in more recent browser versions, this wasn't always the case (like Firefox 6), so to be safe you should default capture to false.

Missing license information on npm

While the readme states that this project uses the MIT license, the npm package shows as "License: none" on https://www.npmjs.com/package/component-event/v/0.1.4.

This prevents the package being mirrored to Maven using WebJars and breaks the dependency tree for one of our projects.

Could you possibly add the license information for this package on npm? In particular we would need it on version 0.1.4.

Thanks in advance!

.on and .off methods?

For conformance to other libraries.
