Cannot remove eventlistener from noname remote callback function

I put a listener to process in a noname function (because I have to transmit some data further - 'evt' and 'ref' for example). How to close a listener in another remote file, were I process this data.

index.js:

import onClick from "./onClick.js";
const ref = document.querySelector('h1');
ref.addEventListener('click', (evt) => {onClick(evt, ref)}

onClick.js:

export default function onClick(evt, ref) {
    console.log(evt);
    ref.removeEventListener('click', onClick)
};

You can just assign the anonymous function to a variable to have a function name, and pass it to onClick function. It seems to be anti-pattern (passing callee function to caller), but I guess this is what you're looking for:

index.js

import onClick from "./onClick.js";


const ref = document.querySelector('h1');

function clickCb(evt) { 
  onClick(evt, ref, clickCb) 
}

ref.addEventListener('click', clickCb}

onClick.js

export default function onClick(evt, ref, clickCb) {
    console.log(evt);
    ref.removeEventListener('click', clickCb)
};
