Removing event listener which was added with bind

Although what @machineghost said was true, that events are added and removed the same way, the missing part of the equation was this:

A new function reference is created after .bind() is called.

See Does bind() change the function reference? | How to set permanently?

So, to add or remove it, assign the reference to a variable:

var x = this.myListener.bind(this);
Toolbox.addListener(window, 'scroll', x);
Toolbox.removeListener(window, 'scroll', x);

This works as expected for me.

jQuery solution:

let object = new ClassName();
let $elem = $('selector');

$elem.on('click', $.proxy(object.method, object));

$elem.off('click', $.proxy(object.method, object));

It doesn't matter whether you use a bound function or not; you remove it the same way as any other event handler. If your issue is that the bound version is its own unique function, you can either keep track of the bound versions, or use the removeEventListener signature that doesn't take a specific handler (although of course that will remove other event handlers of the same type).

(As a side note, addEventListener doesn't work in all browsers; you really should use a library like jQuery to do your event hook-ups in a cross-browser way for you. Also, jQuery has the concept of namespaced events, which allow you to bind to "click.foo"; when you want to remove the event you can tell jQuery "remove all foo events" without having to know the specific handler or removing other handlers.)

For those who have this problem while registering/removing listener of React component to/from Flux store, add the lines below to the constructor of your component:

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props){
    super(props);
    // it's a trick! needed in order to overcome the remove event listener
    this.onChange = this.onChange.bind(this);  
  }
  // then as regular...
  componentDidMount (){
    AppStore.addChangeListener(this.onChange);
  }
  
  componentWillUnmount (){
    AppStore.removeChangeListener(this.onChange);
  }

  onChange () {
    let state = AppStore.getState();
    this.setState(state);
  }
  
  render() {
    // ...
  }
  
}
