Unselecting the last element doesn't trigger move and stop

[carlos-algms]

What is the problem?

Clicking on an element to select it and then clicking again to unselect it doesn't trigger the events move and stop events.

it can be fixed by removing the if

selection/packages/vanilla/src/index.ts

Lines 805 to 807 in bee9f2f

	if (!elements.length) {
	return;
	}

Please provide the steps to reproduce and create a CodeSandbox.

Also, check the console.log

1. Select elements by clicking or dragging a selection
2. unselect and leave only 1 element
3. click on that last element

Check the events were NOT triggered.

What is the expected behavior?

It should trigger the move and stop events and stop should contain the right stored data so we can trust it.

Hey @simonwep I've created this small PR #239 removing the block I found was blocking the events from being triggered.

I managed to test it locally by building and installing the local version.

Please let me know what you think.

Hey @carlos-algms, thank's for the elaborate issue and reproduction! But I'm a little bit confused, because if it wouldn't emit the move and stop events even the simplest selections wouldn't work. I tried it locally and all events seemed to be triggered correctly:

Also in your codesandbox you do a lot with timeouts inside of the callbacks, accessing the values after the might have been changed again by viselect. Could you elaborate what you believe is the issue here? Is it that you would expect stored to be empty if it's also listed in changed.removed in the stop event?

Hey, thanks for investigating it 😊.

The stop event you see comes from the clearSelection() call, not from the unselect().

{
  "added": [],
  "removed": [
    "A"
  ],
  "stored": [
    "A"  // note even tho it was removed, it's still included here.
  ]
}

and it should be

{
  "added": [],
  "removed": [
    "A"
  ],
  "stored": [] // I'd expect it to be empty, as it is the last event I'll receive.
}

I put a timeout there to check the internal state is updated after some time, and stored will be empty, but not on the last stop event.
