node-rev

A (r)edis (ev)ent emitter for node.js.

Installing

Install with npm:

npm install rev

Usage

var Emitter = require('rev').Emitter
var emitter = new Emitter({ host : 'localhost', port : 6379, auth : 'xyz' })

function firstSub () {
  emitter.emit('some:event', { json : 'able' }, 'arguments only')
}

emitter.on('some:event', function (data, str) { /* ... */ }, firstSub)
emitter.pon('some:*', function (event, data, str) {
  // event is the matched event string
  // data and str are the arguments passed
})

Will work across multiple processes of course :) Uses redis pub/sub as the underlying transport.
