LEARN THE LINGO

Event delegation

Handling events on a stable ancestor instead of attaching a separate listener to each child.

The plain-English version

Handling events on a stable ancestor instead of attaching a separate listener to each child.

Why it matters

It is useful when cards, list rows, or controls are added and removed dynamically.

Let’s make it click

One list listener finds which task button was clicked and routes the requested action.

Vibe Bro’s heads-up

Check the actual target and nearest intended control; a nested icon can otherwise trigger the wrong behavior.

The docs behind it

Supported: Ancestor handlers use event bubbling; checking the clicked target is consistent with MDN's delegation example.
