MutationObserver

Provides the ability to watch for changes being made to the DOM tree. It is designed as a replacement for the older Mutation Events feature which was part of the DOM3 Events specification.

interface MutationObserver {

disconnect(): void;

observe(target: Node, options?: MutationObserverInit): void;

takeRecords(): MutationRecord[];

}

var MutationObserver: {

prototype: MutationObserver;

new (callback: MutationCallback): MutationObserver;

};

§Methods

disconnect(): void

[src]

Stops observer from observing any mutations. Until the observe() method is used again, observer's callback will not be invoked.

observe(target: Node, options?: MutationObserverInit): void

[src]

Instructs the user agent to observe a given target (a node) and report any mutations based on the criteria given by options (an object).

The options argument allows for setting mutation observation options via object members.

takeRecords(): MutationRecord[]

[src]

Empties the record queue and returns what was in there.
