EventEmitter Clustered
Node's event emitter for cluster mode (master-worker, worker-master, worker-master-worker)
How it Works
This Module isn't inheriting from EventEmitter Class, instead create new instance inside, and replicate EventEmitter while also integrate EventEmitter itself into it's own.
For different process communication, it's use Message
event from cluster
module. So to be able to communicate between workers, it needs to transfer the data to master first.
Additional Notes
Since there will be two listeners from the same Event, one from Node.Js EventEmitter, and one from worker on Message Event. So it needs to be handle carefully. If you want to send message to another worker without current worker receive the message, you can use emitter.broadcast
method. Or if you want to send message to current worker only, you can use emitter.emitself
which an extension to Node.Js EventEmitter itself.
rawListener
method from EventEmitter cannot be used within this module
