import {AttributeObservable, Symbol as canSymbol} from "can";

var input = document.querySelector("input");
var obs = new AttributeObservable(input, "value", "input");

obs[canSymbol.for("can.onEmit")](function(value){
  console.log("updated", value);
});

Parameters

element {HTMLElement}:
key {String}:
A property or attribute name.

Use

The Forms guide is a great place to see how these are used internally by CanJS.

Special Keys

AttributeObservable allows you to specify the following special key values:

Focused

If the value is focused or not:

<my-demo></my-demo>
<style>
:focus { background-color: yellow; }
</style>
<script type="module">
import {Component} from "can";

Component.extend({
    tag: "my-demo",
    view: `
        <input
            on:input:value:bind="this.cardNumber"
            placeholder="Card Number (9 digits)"/>
        <input size="4"
            on:input:value:bind="this.cvcNumber"
            focused:from="this.cvcFocus"
            on:blur="this.dispatch('cvcBlur')"
            placeholder="CVC"/>
        <button
            focused:from="this.payFocus"
            on:blur="this.dispatch('payBlur')">Pay</button>
    `,
    ViewModel: {
        cardNumber: "string",
        cvcFocus: {
            value({listenTo, resolve}) {
                listenTo("cardNumber", (ev, newVal) => {
                    if(newVal.length === 9) {
                        resolve(true);
                    } else {
                        resolve(false);
                    }
                });
                listenTo("cvcBlur", () => {
                    resolve(false);
                });
            }
        },
        cvcNumber: "string",
        payFocus: {
            value({listenTo, resolve}) {
                listenTo("cvcNumber", (ev, newVal) => {
                    if(newVal.length === 3) {
                        resolve(true);
                    } else {
                        resolve(false);
                    }
                });
                listenTo("payBlur", () => {
                    resolve(false);
                });
            }
        }
    }
});
