:satellite: Angular Event Service

An angular service to broadcast and listen global events. It works like Anagular@1 event service.

Installation

To install this library, run:

$ npm install angular-event-service --save

Using it

Once you have published your library to npm, you can import your library in any Angular application by running:

$ npm install angular-event-service

and then from your Angular AppModule:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

// Import the module
import { EventsServiceModule } from 'angular-event-service';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
    // ...
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    // ...
    // Import forRoot()
    EventsServiceModule.forRoot()
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Once your library is imported, you can use it in your app like this:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { EventsService } from 'angular-event-service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  private callbackListener: Function = (payload: any) => {
    console.log(payload);
  };

  constructor(private _eventsService: EventsService) {
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this._eventsService.on('test', this.callbackListener);
  }

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this._eventsService.broadcast('test', 'testPayload');
    setTimeout(() => {
      this._eventsService.broadcast('test', 'testPayload2');
    }, 1500);
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this._eventsService.destroyListener('test', this.callbackListener);
  }
}

Make sure to destroy the listener once you destroy the component. If not, you will be registering references to events and calling different references to the same callback each time the event occurs.
