Pass paramtes to event function

I bulid a function to event and I want to know how can I pass parameters to that function?

I use addEventListener method to add events
What I need is to pass the element variable to the function mean this object

For example if I use attribute method to add event I do like this:

 <div onclick="function(this)">

And then the function will get the div element Now my question is how can I pass the this object to the function when I use addEventListener

Is there anyway to get this thing?

     var element = event.target;

});

In an event handler, such as onclick, 'this' will automatically point to the element, where the event is triggered. You can use it inside your anonymous function. Note: It's not a string but a HtmlElement. Hope I have understood your question correctly.

Define your listener with a parameter, this will be an event object. In this object you will find the triggered element.
