Install

This project uses node and npm. Go check them out if you don't have them locally installed.

$ npm install --save subscribe
// using ES6 modules
import { Emitter } from 'subscribe'

// using CommonJS modules
var { Emitter } = require('subscribe')

The UMD build is also available on unpkg:

<script src="https://esm.sh/subscribe"></script>

You can find the library on window.__Emitter__.

Usage

import {Emitter} from 'subscribe'
// OR
const {Emitter} = require('subscribe')

const eventbus = new Emitter()

// listen to an event
eventbus.on('foo', e => console.log('foo', e) )

// listen to all events
// This will fire first the 'type' event if it exists
eventbus.on('*', (type, e) => console.log(type, e) )

// fire an event
eventbus.emit('foo', { a: 'b' })

// working with handler references:
function onFoo() {}
eventbus.on('foo', onFoo)   // listen
eventbus.off('foo', onFoo)  // unlisten

// remove all listeners for specific event
eventbus.off('foo')

// Fire event listener only once
eventbus.once('knock knock', (data) => console.log("I will be fired only once"))
eventbus.emit('knock knock', null)
// This will not fire
eventbus.emit('knock knock', null)

Typescript

For better autocompletion Emitter class takes parameters for possible event names :

import {Emitter} from 'subscribe'
const emitter = new Emitter<'foo' | 'bar'>()
emitter.on('foo', e => console.log('foo', e) )
emitter.on('bar', e => console.log('foo', e) )
// Will throw an error: (on typescript typecheck NOT ON RUNTIME!)
emitter.on('bar2', e => console.log('foo', e) )
