on()

const handler = (event) => {

Typescript

Development with Typescript is also convenient. Please define Generics (two arguments) when extending it.

import Emitter from "{pathto}/emitter/src/scripts/index"

// The key names "type" and "target" are reserved.
type Events = {
  eventName: {
    eventData1: any
    eventData2: any
  }
  click: {
    x: number
    y: number
  }
  mousedown: {
    // some data
  }
}

class A extends Emitter<A, Events> {
  constructor() {
    super();
  }
}

const a = new A;

a.on("click", (event) => console.log(event));

// OK
a.emit("click", {
  x: 1,
  y: 2,
});

// NG
a.emit("click2", {
  x: 1,
  y: 2,
});

// NG
a.emit("click", {
  x: "a",
  y: 2,
});
