Removing event listener which was added with bind

I need to dynamically add and remove event listeners. I also need to set the this.

Will this change the function reference?

element.addEventListener('click', funcA);
newFunc = funcA.bind(this);
element.removeEventListner('click', newFunc);

Will removeEventListener know that I want to remove funcA?

Or does it think I’m removing a new function all together?

Yes, .bind() returns a new function object.
