Examples
AngularJS Example
app.run.js
angular
.module('app', ['simple-event-handler'])
.run(['$eventHandler', function ($eventHandler) {
$eventHandler.subscribe('my-event', function(data) {
// your logic here
})
}]);
app.controller.js
angular
.module('app')
.controller('MainController', ['$eventHandler', function ($eventHandler) {
var args = {name: 'some name'}
$eventHandler.fire('my-event', args);
}]);
Node.js Example
var eventHandler = require('simple-event-handler');
eventHandler.subscribe('my-event', function(data) {
// your logic here
})
...
var args = {name: 'some name'}
eventHandler.fire('my-event', args);
Basic Example
var eventHandler = new EventHandler();
eventHandler.subscribe('my-event', function(data) {
// your logic here
})
...
var args = {name: 'some name'}
eventHandler.fire('my-event', args);
Method Chaining
It's just a nice feature to have ability to create a chains like this:
var result = 0;
var handler = function (data) {
result = result + data;
};
eventHandler
.once(EVENT_NAME, function () {
result++;
})
.fire(EVENT_NAME) // result = 1
.fire(EVENT_NAME) // result = 1
.subscribe(EVENT_NAME, handler)
.emit(EVENT_NAME, 10) // result = 11
.on(EVENT_NAME, function (data) {
result = result * 2 - data;
})
.fire(EVENT_NAME, 5) // result = ((11 + 5) * 2) - 5 = 27
.offAll(EVENT_NAME) // removes everything
.emit(EVENT_NAME) // no handlers to execute
.fire(EVENT_NAME) // no handlers to execute
.on(EVENT_NAME_2, handler)
.fire(EVENT_NAME_2, 3) // result = 27 + 3 = 30
.unsubscribe(EVENT_NAME_2, handler)
.fire(EVENT_NAME_2, 20); // no handlers to execute
console.log(result); // --> 30
