I'm maintaining a large web application written with the Dojo(x) Toolkit.

showView = function (current, next, dir, type) {

    registry.byId(current).performTransition(next, dir, type, null, function () { });

};

and then in each view the UI logic listens for transition events:

registry.byId("viewCustomer").on("afterTransitionIn", function () {

    // do something

}



registry.byId("viewCustomer").on("beforeTransitionOut", function () {

    // do something else

}

Now they asked me to remove all transitions, that means the new views should be shown immediately without any effect. As first thought, I just set the type variable in the showView function to 'none'.

Despite it actually removes the transitions, it also breaks all the events because they won't fire anymore.

I'm looking in the documentation of Dojo to find out a way to avoid a visible transition while keeping the events. It would be ok if I can override the standard timing and set it to 0, for example.

Is there a better way to do this, without rewrite all the UI logic based on those events?
