JavaScript click event listener on class

Question

I\'m currently trying to write some JavaScript to get the attribute of the class that has been clicked. I know that to do this the correct way, I should use an event listene

Answer 1

With modern JavaScript it can be done like this:

const divs = document.querySelectorAll('.a');

divs.forEach(el => el.addEventListener('click', event => {
  console.log(event.target.classList[1]);
}));

1. Gets all elements by class name
2. Loops over all elements with using forEach
3. Attach an event listener on each element
4. Uses event.target to retrieve more information for specific element
