CoEventEmitter

API

.on(eventName: String, function: Promise|GeneratorFunction|Thunk): CoEventEmitter

Subscribes for an event. CoEventEmitter allows to subscribe for an event only once. Throws an Error if there is already a listener for an event.

Examples:

//GeneratorFunction implementation
events.on('event-name', function *() {
  return 'result';
});

//Async/Await implementation
events.on('event-name', async function () {
  return 'result';
});

//Thunk implementation
events.on('event-name', (cb) => {
  cb(null, 'result');
});

//Promise implementation
events.on('event-name', new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  resolve('result');
}));

//Promise v2 implementation
events.on('event-name', () => {
  return Promise.resolve('result');
});

events.emit('event-name', 'hello world')
  .then((result) => console.log(result)); //'hello world'

.off(eventName: String): CoEventEmitter

events.off('event-name');

.has(eventName: String): Boolean

Return true if there is a registered listener for a provided event.

events.has('event-name');

.call(eventName: String, ...args): Promise

Emits an event and returns a promise. Throws an error if no event listener found.

events.call('event-name')
    .then((result) => { /* handle result */ })
    .catch((err) => { /* handle err */ });
}
