[OpenLayers-Dev] [OL 3] map events

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi

Thanks Bart for the summary about the 3.0 IRC meeting.

With this thread I'd like to start discussions on "map events", the
first item in the list sent by Bart.

So, IIRC, being able to do map.on({"click": foo}) was mentioned
yesterday during the IRC meeting.

What changes does this imply? The removal of the click handler? Or
maybe we'll have the map delegate click handling to a click handler?
Will controls no longer create and use handlers, and directly register
listeners on map events instead?

In 2.x we have a problem because the activation order of
control/handlers matters, and we sometimes have to do things like
control.handlers.foo.stopDown = false, which we don't want. And
actually I'm still failing to see how we're going to address that with
"map events", as our handlers are already relying on map events today.

Thanks for any insight,
