Strongly Typed Events - Simple events

Simple events are a type of event that will provide an argument with data when fired. If you use typescript, you can leverage the support for generics and get strongly typed code.

Subscription made easy

An example says more than a 1000 words. Imagine if you have events like this on your class:

let clock = new Clock("Smu", 1000);

//log the name of the clock and the tick argument to the console - this is an event
clock.onClockTick.subscribe((c, n) =>
  console.log(`${c.name} ticked ${n} times.`)
);

Events made easy

So let's look at the implementation from a TypeScript perspective. (Do you program NodeJs without typescript? Check this)

import { SimpleEventDispatcher } from "ste-simple-events";

class Clock {
  private _onSequenceTick = new SimpleEventDispatcher<number>();
  private _ticks: number = 0;

  constructor(public name: string, timeout: number) {
    setInterval(() => {
      this._ticks += 1;
      this._onSequenceTick.dispatch(this._ticks);
    }, timeout);
  }

  public get onSequenceTick() {
    return this._onSequenceTick.asEvent();
  }
}
