Event Emitter Library

A minimal event emitter library built with TypeScript for browsers. Exposes three versions: CommonJS (CJS), ES Modules (ESM), and UMD (for browsers).

Usage

import { EventEmitter, enable, disable } from 'event-emitter-lib';

const emitter = new EventEmitter();

// Register an event listener
emitter.on('myEvent', event => {
  console.log('Event received:', event.payload);
});

// Emit the event
emitter.emit('myEvent', { message: 'Hello World' });

How to Build

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install dependencies: npm install.
3. Build: npm run build.

• setEnabled(isEnabled: boolean): void
  Enables or disables event emission.
