Question

I am using an external jquery plugin (iosSlider. but it doesn’t metter). The plugin triggers an event when I click the mouse and move it. The plugin triggers the event and supply data to the listener. But, it doesn’t provide the original event object. The original event object contains data which I don’t have in the data the plugin supplied. Is there any way I can get the data of the last event happend?

Answer 1

Get the plugin source, find the code where the “original event” is transformed into the “watered-down” version that you are getting, and add the original event to the watered-down one as an additional field.

Before:

handleOriginalEvent(e) {
    // ...
    var wateredDownEvent = { /*...*/ };
    // call event handler with wateredDownEvent
}

After

handleOriginalEvent(e) {
    // ...
    var wateredDownEvent = { /*...*/, original: e };
    // call event handler with wateredDownEvent, now with added original event
}
