javascript - Jquery: Dynamically adding code stored in a variable to events WITHOUT using eval() - Stack Overflow

I have a project which has a large number of controls (buttons, checkboxes, etc.) that I'm trying to find a way to add events to without directly putting the code in the html or in the main javascript/jquery file. Rather, I'd like to store the event code in a config file so that I can make changes if needed without having to touch the main code and so I don't have a massive amount of repeating code just to assign actions.

The HTML has controls like this:

<id="elem1">
<id="elem2">
<id="elem3">
...

And then there is a separate JS config file which has an object like this:

btnAssign: [
    { el: '#elem1', onEvent: 'click', action: "someAction();" },
    { el: '#elem2', onEvent: 'change', action: "someOtherCode();someOtherCode2();" },
    { el: '#elem3', onEvent: 'click', action: "doSomethingElse();" }
    ...
    ]

What I want to do is now assign the "action" for the specified "onEvent" to the listed "el". As an example, I want to add someAction(); to elem1's onclick event so that when I click on elem1, someAction(); gets executed.

In the main JS/Jquery file, the following works perfectly, but only if I use eval()

btnAssign.forEach((assignment) => {
    $(assignment.el).on(assignment.onEvent, function () {
        eval(assignment.action);
    });
});

Based on reading () I'd really like to find another way to accomplish this without the potential risks. I tried using indirect eval?. but some of the entries (not all) fail.

Is there a safer or better way to do this?

Put actual function references in the config file, rather than strings containing function calls.

const btnAssign = [{
    el: '#elem1',
    onEvent: 'click',
    action: someAction
  },
  {
    el: '#elem2',
    onEvent: 'change',
    action: () => {someOtherCode();someOtherCode2();}
  },
  {
    el: '#elem3',
    onEvent: 'click',
    action: doSomethingElse
  }
];

btnAssign.forEach((assignment) => {
    $(assignment.el).on(assignment.onEvent, assignment.action);
    });
});

If you can set the "oneventname" attribute of an element to text the HTML parser will create a function for it.

You may wish to consider event delegation to see if it makes design easier.

test.setAttribute("onclick", "alert('hello')");

<div id="test">click me</div>

maybe something like this ?

function Action_1(e) { /* js code */ }
function Action_2(e) { /* js code */ }
function Action_3(e) { /* js code */ }
// ---
function Action_N(e) { /* js code */ }


const 
  fnActions =  { Action_1, Action_2, Action_3, Action_N }
, btnAssign =
    [ { el: '#elem1', onEvent: 'click',  action: "Action_1" }
    , { el: '#elem2', onEvent: 'change', action: "Action_2 Action_3" }
    , { el: '#elemN', onEvent: 'click',  action: "Action_N" }
//    ...
    ]
  ;  
    
btnAssign.forEach((assignment) => 
  {
  $(assignment.el).on(assignment.onEvent, function () 
    {
    assignment.action.split(' ').forEach( f_X => fnActions[f_X](event) );
    });
  });
