Event Handler extern or onReady?

Discussion Ask a question

Being used to javascript, I am in the habit of writing an event handler within the page.onReady function, for example:

$w.onReady(function () {
  $w("#productrepeater").onItemReady(($item, itemData, index) => {
        // set up the repeater $item with data
        FillRepeater($item, itemData); 
    });
  // ...
});

This seems to work okay in Corvid code. However, I see that most examples create an extern function handler that the wix platform wires up:

$w.onReady(function () {
// ...
});
export function productrepeater_itemReady($item, itemData, index) {
 //Add your code for this event here: 
}

I am wondering if how I am doing it is going to stop working, or is wrong and I’ve just been lucky, Anyone?

Hello @jdavis . Both ways of writing are supported . I, personally, newer write in “export function” style.
