Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Version Size

Installation

yarn add @smoovy/emitter

or

npm install --save @smoovy/emitter

The event emitter

Import the emitter as usual:

import { EventEmitter } from '@smoovy/emitter';

Usage

To use the event emitter you can either create a new instance directly or use it as a parent class.

const emitter = new EventEmitter();
// or
class UltraFancyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}

Emitting events

You have multiple options when it comes to the emission of events:

// Emit a single value
emitter.emit('eventName', 'A random string');

// Emit an other data type (object)
emitter.emit('eventName', { name: 'Mistadobalina' });

// Emit multiple events with different data types
emitter.emit({
  eventName1: 'Some data',
  eventName2: [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
});

Listening/Unlistening for events

Listening to events is pretty simple:

emitter.on('eventName', (data) => {
  // Handle your data
});

To unlisten you have two options:

const listener = (data) => {};
const unlisten = emitter.on('eventName', listener);

// Unlisten from callback or...
unlisten();

// Unlisten the old-fashioned way
emitter.off('eventName', listener);

When you have many listeners going wild in your application, you can use this litte helper function to stack those:

import { listenCompose } from '@smoovy/listener';

const unlisten = listenCompose(
  emitter.on('eventName1', () => {}),
  emitter.on('eventName2', () => {}),
  emitter.on('eventName3', () => {})
);

// Easily unsubcribe from all simultaneously
unlisten();

listenCompose simply merges all "unsubscribe callbacks" into one

Reflecting events

Reflect events to a different emitter. Muted events will not be reflects:

const reflectedEmitter = new Emitter();

// Reflect events to reflectedEmitter
emitter.reflectEvents(reflectedEmitter);

// Listen for events
reflectedEmitter.on('eventName1', (msg) => console.log(msg));

// Dispatch event in base emitter
emitter.emit('eventName1', 'reflected'); // Displays 'reflected'

// Remove reflected emitters
emitter.unreflectEvents();
