Vue-geb - Global Event Bus

Vue-geb is a vue Global Event Bus plugin to help broadcast events across the app using the power of observables.

Only add 5kb to the rxjs library.

Demo

Install

npm install --save vue-geb

Or

yarn add vue-geb

Use

In your main.js :

import geb from 'vue-geb'

Vue.use(geb)

Example usage with modals

Basic usage

Access the Observable bus:

this.$geb.getBus() // Observable:Subject type 

Emit Events in the bus:

this.$geb.emit({object}) 

Listen to the Events in the bus:

this.sub = this.$geb.getBus().subscribe(data => {
      console.log(data)
      // Do anything you want with 'data'
  })

Listen to specific Events in the bus:

this.sub = this.$geb.getFilteredBus({id:'modal'}).subscribe(data => {
      console.log(data)
      // The callback is only called when an event is fired with at least the id attribute equal to 'modal'
  })

Vue directive

<button v-geb-click-emit="{id:'foo',payload:'Lorem'}">Send</button>

Notice how we use this.sub = ... .subscribe(). You need to unsubscribe when your component unmount to avoid memory leaks.

destroyed: function () {
            if(this.sub) {
                this.sub.unsubscribe()
            }
        },

Please check this example for a vue-geb modal usage.

Advanced

You can also access the same api as vm.$geb outside of vue context (same Event bus too):

import { gebHandler } from 'vue-geb'

gebHandler.emit({object}) 

This is useful for vue-geb usage in a state management library or any other js file.

Enjoy ! :)
