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

@vegajs/event-bus

A flexible and typed Event Bus implementation for TypeScript projects. This library provides a simple interface to manage events and listeners, allowing communication between different parts of your application without tight coupling.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install @vegajs/event-bus

Usage

Basic Setup

You can define your own event types and data structure, and use the EventBus to emit and listen to events. Here's an example:

import { EventBus } from 'your-event-bus-package';

// Define the events for your application
type MyAppEvents = {
    'app:start': void;
    'user:login': { username: string };
    'data:update': { newData: any };
};

// Create an instance of EventBus
const eventBus = new EventBus<MyAppEvents>();

// Subscribing to an event
eventBus.on('user:login', (event) => {
    console.log(`User logged in: ${event.username}`);
});

// Emitting an event
eventBus.emit('user:login', { username: 'john_doe' });

// Unsubscribing from an event
const handler = (event: { username: string }) => console.log(`User logged in: ${event.username}`);
eventBus.on('user:login', handler);
eventBus.off('user:login', handler);

Example of Multiple Event Types

You can also work with multiple types of events in a type-safe way.

// Define a new set of events
type OtherEvents = {
    'error': { message: string };
    'notification': { text: string };
};

const anotherBus = new EventBus<OtherEvents>();

// Subscribing to different events
anotherBus.on('error', (event) => {
    console.error(`Error occurred: ${event.message}`);
});

anotherBus.on('notification', (event) => {
    console.log(`Notification: ${event.text}`);
});

// Emitting events
anotherBus.emit('error', { message: 'Something went wrong!' });
anotherBus.emit('notification', { text: 'New message received' });

Asynchronous Events

The EventBus also supports asynchronous event handlers if necessary:

const asyncBus = new EventBus<MyAppEvents>();

asyncBus.on('app:start', async () => {
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
    console.log('App started after 1 second');
});

asyncBus.emit('app:start', undefined);

Handling Events with void Type

If you have events that do not carry any data (i.e., void events), you can emit them without providing an argument:

type VoidEvents = {
    'app:stop': void;
};

const voidBus = new EventBus<VoidEvents>();

voidBus.on('app:stop', () => {
    console.log('App stopped');
});

voidBus.emit('app:stop', undefined);

API

on

on<K extends keyof EventMap>(eventName: K, handler: (event: EventMap[K]) => void): void;
  • eventName: The name of the event to listen for.
  • handler: The function to execute when the event is emitted.

off

off<K extends keyof EventMap>(eventName: K, handler: (event: EventMap[K]) => void): void;
  • eventName: The name of the event to stop listening for.
  • handler: The function to remove from the listener list.

emit

emit<K extends keyof EventMap>(eventName: K, event: EventMap[K]): void;
  • eventName: The name of the event to emit.
  • event: The data to pass to the listeners of the event.
