Eventter
Usage
const makeEmitter = require('@beardedtim/eventter');
// No `new` keyword. It's just a function
const emitter = makeEmitter();
// We register to some event
emitter.on('someEvent', (a, b, c) => {
// a === 1, b === 2, c === 3
// ...
});
// ...
// Then at some point we emit the event
emitter.emit('someEvent', 1, 2, 3);
API
As closely as possible, this repo tries to match the node API for events
. However, do note that this package does not return a class or any reference to this
and probably can't be chained without a HoF/helper. You can see the API and what each method does by looking at the test file.
To Note: If you give your listeners the property fn.once = [truthy value]
, they will be treated as if you had ran once(event, fn)
instead of on(evcent, fn)
.
Roadmap
- [ ] Add
context
to EventEmitter (this
for all handlers) - [ ] add
context
to listeners (this
for specific handler)
