NorJS Event Observer Library

This is a library which implements an interface to trigger and listen events from The NorJS Event Service.

Design

It is a NodeJS library which can connect to a local event service running on the system and through it possibly connect to multiple top level event servers and services running on other systems.

Communication between the library and local service is implemented using long polling HTTP over local UNIX socket file.

Install

npm install @norjs/event

Usage

Command line usage

Wait for an event:

if NODE_CONNECT=/path/to/socket.sock nor-event --wait=foo; then
  echo Event happened
else
  echo Timeout happened
fi

Trigger an event:

NODE_CONNECT=/path/to/socket.sock nor-event --trigger=foo --payload='{"hello":"world"}'
