void observe(Node target, { bool childList, bool attributes, bool characterData, bool subtree, bool attributeOldValue, bool characterDataOldValue, List<String> attributeFilter })

Observes the target for the specified changes.

Some requirements for the optional parameters:

  • Either childList, attributes or characterData must be true.
  • If attributeOldValue is true then attributes must also be true.
  • If attributeFilter is specified then attributes must be true.
  • If characterDataOldValue is true then characterData must be true.
