Instance Methods

on(event, callback[, context])

Subscribe to an event

• event - the name of the event to subscribe
• callback - the function to call when event is emitted
• context - (OPTIONAL) - the context to bind the event callback

If subscribe successful, return an object, that can use for yatem.off() and yatem.emit(). Otherwise return false.

var e1 = yatem.once('my-event', callback);	// typeof e1 === 'object'
var e2 = yatem.on('my-event', callback);	// e2 === false

yatem.emit(e1); // Ok
yatem.emit(e2); // Do nothing

once(event, callback[, context])

Subscribe to an event only once

• event - the name of the event to subscribe
• callback - the function to call when event is emitted
• context - (OPTIONAL) - the context to bind the event callback

If subscribe successful, return an object, that can use for yatem.off() and yatem.emit(). Otherwise return false.

off(event)

Unsubscribe from an event.

• event - the name of the event to unsubscribe or value that return from yate.on() or yate.once()

If event is null or undefined, and not boolean type, it will unsubscribe all events.

var e1 = yatem.on('my-event', callback1);
var e2 = yatem.on('my-event', callback2);

yatem.off(); // Unsubscribe all events, or use yatem.off(null)
// Notice: yatem.off(false) WILL NOT unsubscribe all events, it will do nothing

yatem.emit(e1); // Do nothing
yatem.emit(e2); // Do nothing

emit(event[, arguments...])

Trigger a named event or all events

• event - the event name to emit
• arguments... - any number of arguments to pass to the event subscribers

If event is null or undefined, and not boolean type, it will emit all events.

var e1 = yatem.on('my-event', callback1);
var e2 = yatem.on('my-event', callback2);

yatem.emit(); // Emit all events, or use yatem.emit(null[, arguments...])
// Notice: yatem.emit(false) WILL NOT emit any events, it will do nothing
