Wanikani Open Framework Turbo Events
Library script for browser development
This is a library script
that adds helpful methods to WaniKani Open Framework
for dealing with Turbo Events.
Scripts developers can use this library to simplify their workflow.
All additions are added to a new turbo
property of the wkof
object, thus accessible via wkof.turbo
.
The wkof.turbo
object
The wkof.turbo
object has the following properties and methods
(methods are all non-writable; properties are all non-writable and extensible unless noted otherwise):
add_event_listener(eventName, listener, options): boolean
- The most simple way of adding a listener.
- Returns
true
when the listener was successfully added or false
when the inputs were invalid or the provided listener and options already exists.
- Note that in the "load" special case (explained below), a listener is not added, and this instead returns
true
or false
according to whether the callback was called immediately.
add_event_listeners(eventList, listener, options): {name: string, added: boolean}[]
add_typical_page_listener(callback, urls, options): boolean
add_typical_frame_listener(callback, targetIds, options): boolean
remove_event_listener(eventName, listener, options): boolean
- Returns
true
when the listener was successfully removed or false
when the inputs were invalid or when no active listener matching the parameters was found.
remove_event_listeners(eventList, listener, options): {name: string, removed: boolean}[]
on: object
common: object
- Contains non-writable convenience functions for common use cases.
- Note that the object itself is extensible, so additional functions may be added if desired.
events(eventList, callback, options)
eventList(eventList, callback, options): {name: string, added: boolean}[]
targetIds(callback, targetIds, options): boolean
urls(callback, urls, options): boolean
dashboard(callback, options): boolean
items_pages(callback, options): boolean
lessons(callback, options): boolean
lessons_picker(callback, options): boolean
lessons_quiz(callback, options): boolean
reviews(callback, options): boolean
event: object
- Deprecated. Use the
addListener
method in the wkof.turbo.events object.
Contains functions to set listeners for each of the Turbo events. For the return values, see add_event_listener(eventName, listener, options)

General notes
- The callback function is invoked with the parameters
(event: CustomEvent, url: string)
for all events.
- The
event
parameter is the CustomEvent
object, passed directly from the triggered event.
- The name of the event triggered can be verified using
event.type
.
- For example,
event.type === 'turbo:load'
.
- The
url
parameter is a URL string, which has been parsed from the event, using predetermined logic to detect the URL most likely of use to the end user. This URL is associated with the details of the triggered event, usually referencing the result or target of whatever action has transpired or is preparing to transpire.
- For the special case "load" event,
event.type
is "load" and url
contains a string of the current page URL.
- Always set the
@match
userscript directive to https://www.wanikani.com/*
or equivalent.
- Otherwise, the script may not end up running if the user refreshes the page somewhere unexpected.
- Most of the convenience functions in wkof.turbo.on.common utilize the custom "load" event.
- Specifically, the following functions match this behavior:
urls
, dashboard
, items_pages
, lessons
, lessons_picker
, lessons_quiz
, reviews
Typical usage involves one of the following:
- Use one of the convenience functions in wkof.turbo.on.common if one meets requirements.
- Pass one or more URLs to the
addListener(callback, options)
method of the specific TurboEvent
object in wkof.turbo.events that will be used.
- URLs can be passed using a
urls
property in the object passed to the options
parameter
- For example,
{urls: myUrl}
or {urls: [myUrl1, myUrl2]}
- Inputs for the urls property can be a
string
, a RegExp
, or an Array
or Set
consisting of a mixture of those.
- For example,
wkof.turbo.events.before_render.addListener(callback, {urls: 'https://www.wanikani.com/level/*'})
.
Special cases
- "load" (not to be confused with "turbo:load") is a special use case event name.
- Adding a listener for that event via this library causes it to execute the callback immediately after it is added in the case that the URL matches and the page has already finished loading, according to the
window.Turbo
session.
- Callback:
- Parameters:
(event: CustomEvent, url: string) => void
.
- The
event
parameter is a CustomEvent
constructed as follows:
new CustomEvent('load', {bubbles: false, cancelable: false, composed: false, target: document.documentElement})
.
- The
url
parameter is a URL string
of the current location, according to the window.Turbo
session.
The "options" parameter
All the events provided have an optional options parameter
that functions as an extension of the AddEventListenerOptions
|EventListenerOptions
parameters
given to EventTarget.addEventListener().
The following table is a full description of the options available.
Property |
Type |
Description |
urls |
string |RegExp |(string|RegExp)[] |Set<string|RegExp> |
The URLs to be verified against the URL parameter. Values provided will be coerced into RegExp objects. If not specified, the listener runs on any URL. |
targetIds |
string |string[] |Set<string> |
Object.<string,*> |
The target IDs to be verified against the event target ID. If not specified, the listener runs for any event target. |
useDocumentIds |
boolean |
Indicates whether to check the IDs of the document element in addition to the event target for the targetIds. If not specified, defaults to false . |
noTimeout |
boolean |
Indicates whether to skip use of setTimeout(callback,0) , typically used to let the event settle before invoking the callback. If not specified, defaults to false . |
nocache |
boolean |
Indicates whether to ignore events involving Turbo's cached pages. If not specified, defaults to false . See hotwired.dev discussion. |
once |
boolean |
Indicates that the listener should be invoked at most once after being added. If true , the listener would be automatically removed when invoked. If not specified, defaults to false . See EventTarget.addEventListener#once. |
capture |
boolean |
Indicates that events of this type will be dispatched to the registered listener before being dispatched to any EventTarget beneath it in the DOM tree. If not specified, defaults to false . See EventTarget.addEventListener#capture. |
passive |
boolean |
If true , indicates that the function specified by listener will never call preventDefault(). If a passive listener does call preventDefault() , the user agent will do nothing other than generate a console warning. If not specified, defaults to false – except that in browsers other than Safari, it defaults to true for wheel, mousewheel, touchstart, and touchmove events. See EventTarget.addEventListener#passive. |
signal |
AbortSignal |
The listener will be removed when the given AbortSignal object's abort() method is called. If not specified, no AbortSignal is associated with the listener. See EventTarget.addEventListener#signal. |
