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

Evemit

Actual version published on NPM npm module downloads per month

Minimal and fast JavaScript event emitter for Node.js and front-end. Only 1kb minified (577 bytes gzipped).

Getting started

Install

Via NPM

npm install evemit --save

Or download the evemit.min.js file.

If Evemit is used in CommonJS environment (Node.js, Browserify, Webpack, ...), it is exposed as module with module.exports.

So in CommonJS, evemit is not exposed in the global scope (even on client side) :)

var ev = require('evemit');

// true (it's the constructor)
console.log(typeof ev === 'function');

// undefined, even on front-end with Browserify, Webpack, ...
console.log(typeof Evemit);

Basic usage (without CommonJS)

// true
console.log(typeof Evemit === 'function');

// true
console.log(typeof window.Evemit === 'function');

Usage

var Evemit = require('evemit');

// Or if you are not in an environment CommonJS (Node.js, Browserify, Webpack, ...)
// uses directly `Evemit`, without `var Evemit = require('evemit')`

var obj = new Evemit();

obj.on('say-hello', function(hello) {
  console.log(hello); // Hello World!
});

obj.emit('say-hello', 'Hello World!');

API

See the complete API doc.

Evemit.on({string} event, {function} listener, {mixed} [context])

Add a listener.

obj.on('say-hello', function(hello) {
  console.log(hello); // Hello World!
});

obj.emit('say-hello', 'Hello World!');

Evemit.once({string} event, {function} listener, {mixed} [context])

Listen once

function myCallback(data) {
  console.log(data.hello); // Hello 1
}

// Add listener, defined to be triggered "once"
obj.once('say-hello', myCallback);

// myCallback() is invoked and the listener is removed
obj.emit('say-hello', {
  hello: 'Hello 1'
});

// myCallback() is not called because it is no longer listening on this event
obj.emit('say-hello', {
  hello: 'Hello 2'
});

Evemit.emit({string} event, {mixed} [...arg])

Emit an event

obj.emit('ping');

With arguments passed to the listeners

obj.emit('ping', 'arg1', 'arg2', {an: 'object'});

Evemit.off({string} event, {function} listener)

Remove a listener

function myCallback(data) {
  // some code ...
}

// add
a.on('say-hello', myCallback);

// remove
a.off('say-hello', myCallback);

Evemit.listeners({string} [event])

Get all listeners

// Returns an array containing all listeners
obj.listeners();

Count all listeners

// Returns a number.
obj.listeners().length;

Get all listeners of a given event

// Returns an array of listeners
obj.listeners('say-hello');

Count all listeners of a given event

obj.listeners('say-hello').length;

The methods of the Array object can be used to manage the listeners.

Example

// reverse the order of the listeners execution
obj.listeners('my-event').reverse();

// slices
obj.listeners('my-event').slice(1, 3);

// Removes the first listener of the stack, and returns that listener
var firstListener = obj.listeners('my-event').shift();

// Removes the last listener of the stack, and returns that listener
var lastListener = obj.listeners('my-event').pop();

// ...

Use the property obj.events if you want to get an object like

{event1: [array of listeners], event2: [array of listeners], ...}
