javascript - adding multiple event listeners to one element -

so dilemma don't want write same code twice. once click event , touchstart event.

here original code:

document.getelementbyid('first').addeventlistener('touchstart', function(event) {     do_something();     });  document.getelementbyid('first').addeventlistener('click', function(event) {     do_something();      }); 

how can compact this? there has simpler way!

maybe can use helper function this:

// events , args should of type array function addmultiplelisteners(element,events,handler,usecapture,args){   if (!(events instanceof array)){     throw 'addmultiplelisteners: '+           'please supply array of eventstrings '+           '(like ["click","mouseover"])';   }   //create wrapper able use additional arguments   var handlerfn = function(e){     handler.apply(this, args && args instanceof array ? args : []);   }   (var i=0;i<events.length;i+=1){     element.addeventlistener(events[i],handlerfn,usecapture);   } }  function handler(e) {   // things };  // usage addmultiplelisteners(     document.getelementbyid('first'),     ['touchstart','click'],     handler,     false);
