How to find event listeners on a DOM node using JavaScript?

To find event listeners on a DOM node using JavaScript, we can use the getEventListeners function in the Google Chrome dev console.

For instance, we run:

getEventListeners(document.body)

to return all the event listeners added for the body element.

Then we get something like:

{
    "click": [
        {
            "useCapture": false,
            "passive": false,
            "once": false,
            "type": "click"
        }
    ]
}

from the console log.
