Event Emitting and Middleware Hooks
Features
- Simple replacement for EventEmitter
- Async / Sync Middleware Hooks for Your Methods
- ESM / CJS with Types and Nodejs 20+
- Browser Support and Delivered via CDN
- Maintained on a regular basis!
Installation
npm install hookified --save
Usage
This was built because we constantly wanted hooks and events extended on libraires we are building such as Keyv and Cacheable. This is a simple way to add hooks and events to your classes.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodEmittingEvent() {
this.emit('message', 'Hello World'); //using Emittery
}
//with hooks you can pass data in and if they are subscribed via onHook they can modify the data
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
You can even pass in multiple arguments to the hooks:
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
let data2 = { some: 'data2' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data, data2);
return data;
}
}
Using it in the Browser
<script type="module">
import { Hookified } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hookified/dist/browser/index.js';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodEmittingEvent() {
this.emit('message', 'Hello World'); //using Emittery
}
//with hooks you can pass data in and if they are subscribed via onHook they can modify the data
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
</script>
if you are not using ESM modules, you can use the following:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hookified/dist/browser/index.global.js"></script>
<script>
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodEmittingEvent() {
this.emit('message', 'Hello World'); //using Emittery
}
//with hooks you can pass data in and if they are subscribed via onHook they can modify the data
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
</script>
API - Hooks
.onHook(eventName, handler)
Subscribe to a hook event.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onHook('before:myMethod2', async (data) => {
data.some = 'new data';
});
.onceHook(eventName, handler)
Subscribe to a hook event once.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onHookOnce('before:myMethod2', async (data) => {
data.some = 'new data';
});
myClass.myMethodWithHooks();
console.log(myClass.hooks.length); // 0
.removeHook(eventName)
Unsubscribe from a hook event.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
const handler = async (data) => {
data.some = 'new data';
};
myClass.onHook('before:myMethod2', handler);
myClass.removeHook('before:myMethod2', handler);
.hook(eventName, ...args)
Run a hook event.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
in this example we are passing multiple arguments to the hook:
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
let data2 = { some: 'data2' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data, data2);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onHook('before:myMethod2', async (data, data2) => {
data.some = 'new data';
data2.some = 'new data2';
});
await myClass.myMethodWithHooks();
.hooks

import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onHook('before:myMethod2', async (data) => {
data.some = 'new data';
});
console.log(myClass.hooks);
.getHooks(eventName)
Get all hooks for an event.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onHook('before:myMethod2', async (data) => {
data.some = 'new data';
});
console.log(myClass.getHooks('before:myMethod2'));
.clearHooks(eventName)
Clear all hooks for an event.
import { Hookified } from 'hookified';
class MyClass extends Hookified {
constructor() {
super();
}
async myMethodWithHooks() Promise<any> {
let data = { some: 'data' };
// do something
await this.hook('before:myMethod2', data);
return data;
}
}
const myClass = new MyClass();
myClass.onHook('before:myMethod2', async (data) => {
data.some = 'new data';
