<ons-input> addEventListener function not firing

[jamal]

Hi,

I have the following JavaScript code snippet to detect changes ons-input and clear text when X button is clicked, but it is not firing. It works with regular <INPUT> tag but not <ONS-INPUT>

 input1.addEventListener('input', conditionallyHideClearIcon2);

In the following:

Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-ons-input'), function(el) {
	var input1 = el.querySelector('ons-input');
    
    conditionallyHideClearIcon2();
          
   input1.addEventListener('input', conditionallyHideClearIcon2);
    
  el.querySelector('[data-clear-ons-input]').addEventListener('click', function(e) {
      
      input1.value = '';
      conditionallyHideClearIcon2();
      
	});
  
	function conditionallyHideClearIcon2(e) {
	  var target = (e && e.target) || input1;
      target.nextElementSibling.style.display = target.value ? 'block' : 'none';
     
	}
  });

<div class="clearable-ons-input">
	<ons-input type="text" value="Hi there!"></ons-input>
	<span data-clear-ons-input></span>
</div>

<style>
		.clearable-ons-input {
		position: relative;
		display: inline-block;
		
		}
		.clearable-ons-input > ons-input {
		padding-right: 1.5em;
		font-size: 16px;
		width: 200px;
		height: 2em;
	
		   border: 0;
			outline: 0;
			/* background: transparent; */
			border-bottom: 1px solid black;
			border-radius: 1px;
		
		}
		.clearable-ons-input >[data-clear-ons-input] {
		display: none;
		position: absolute;
		top: 5px;
		right: 0;
		font-weight: bold;
		font-size: 1.4em;
		padding: 0 0.2em;
		line-height: 1.4em;	
		box-sizing:border-box;
	
		/* red X button */
			width:20px;
			height:20px;
			border-width:3px;
			border-style: solid;
			border-color:grey;
			border-radius:100%;
			background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, transparent 0%, transparent 46%, white 46%,  white 56%,transparent 56%, transparent 100%), -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, transparent 0%, transparent 46%, white 46%,  white 56%,transparent 56%, transparent 100%);
			background-color:grey;
			box-shadow:0px 0px 5px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
			transition: all 0.3s ease;
		}
		/* .clearable-ons-input > ons-input::-ms-clear {
		display: none;	
		} */
			
	</style>

@jamal The event.target of the event is the native input element wrapped inside ons-input, not ons-input itself. Therefore, change var target = (e && e.target) || input1; to either var target = (e && e.currentTarget) || input1; or var target = input1; and it should work.

@Fran-Diox, Thank you!

var target = (e && e.currentTarget) || input1;

worked perfectly!
