SVG framework function: resumeObserver

This tutorial is part of Iconify SVG Framework functions tutorial.

Function [func]resumeObserver() tells SVG framework to continue watching HTML element for icon placeholders that was paused using [func]pauseObserver().

Usage

Function has the following optional parameter:

• [prop]root, [type]HTMLElement. Element to resume observing. If missing, SVG framework will resume all paused observers.

Example

// Pause observer
Iconify.pauseObserver();

// Do some heavy DOM manipulation
// ...
// ...

// Resume observer
Iconify.resumeObserver();

Notes

• Pause tracker is a number, it increases with every call. If you call [func]pauseObserver() multiple times, you need to call [func]resumeObserver() the same amount of times to resume observer.
• This function works only on elements that are paused using [func]pauseObserver(). If you want to watch a new custom element for changes, use [func]observe() instead.
