Could anyone tell me how to produce a right-click event handler in Clojure? I am familiar with ":on-click" for simple clicks but not right or double clicks. Can't seem to find any helpful resources online. Thanks!
Frequently in ClojureScript the Google Closure library (Event Handling | Closure Library | Google Developers) is used instead of raw JS. The events (Closure Library API Documentation - JavaScript) namespace contains the goog.events.EventType enumeration which specifies each individual event type:
(ns test.core
(:require [goog.dom :as dom]
[goog.events :as events]))
(letfn [(menu-listener [event]
(.log js/console (str "contextmenu " (.-button event))))
(click-listener [event]
(let [btn (.-button event)
msg (if (= btn 2) "Right-click" (str "Button " btn))]
(.log js/console msg)))]
(events/listen (dom/getElement "click-target") "contextmenu" menu-listener)
(events/listen (dom/getElement "click-target") "click" click-listener))
;; src/test/core.cljs
.

Observe:
contextmenu listener. The click listener doesn't get to see it (even if there is no contextmenu listener).
