class-event

class-event is a JavaScript npm module that makes it easy to use events on your classes. You can also take advantage of event typing, which ensures precise arguments when you emit an event or when you listen to it.

Add class-event

npm install class-event

Use class-event with Javascript & JSDoc

// @ts-check

import { ClassEvent } from "class-event";

/**
 * @typedef PointEventMap
 * @property { {x: number; y: number;} } move
 * @property { null } reset
 */

/**
 * @class
 * @extends { ClassEvent<PointEventMap> }
 */
class Point extends ClassEvent {
  x = 0;
  y = 0;

  /**
   * @param { number } x
   * @param { number } y
   * @returns { void }
   */
  move(x, y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.emit("move", { x, y });
  }

  reset() {
    this.x = 0;
    this.y = 0;
    this.emit("reset", null);
  }
}

const point = new Point();

point.on("move", (position) => {
  console.log(`New position: x:${position.x} y:${position.y}`);
});

point.on("reset", () => {
  console.log(`Position reset`);
});

point.move(1, 2);
point.reset();

Use class-event with Typescript

import { ClassEvent } from "class-event";

type PointEventMap = {
  move: {
    x: number;
    y: number;
  };
  reset: null;
};

class Point extends ClassEvent<PointEventMap> {
  x: number = 0;
  y: number = 0;

  move(x: number, y: number) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.emit("move", { x, y });
  }

  reset() {
    this.x = 0;
    this.y = 0;
    this.emit("reset", null);
  }
}

const point = new Point();

point.on("move", (position) => {
  console.log(`New position: x:${position.x} y:${position.y}`);
});

point.on("reset", (position) => {
  console.log("Position reset");
});

point.move(1, 2);
point.reset();
