@boldadmin/event-publisher v2.9.0

event-publisher

A simple tool which can be used to notify events and subscribe to them. Has a straightforward implementation of Observer pattern, though has some unique features like keeping event in pending state until at least one subscriber is present.

Setup

$ npm install @boldadmin/event-publisher

Usage

Subscribe and notify:

const fun = () =>  me.eat()
eventPublisher.subscribe('lunchtime', fun); # subscribe to event
eventPublisher.notify('lunchtime'); # publish event
eventPublisher.unsubscribe('lunchtime', fun); # remove single subscription
eventPublisher.unsubscribeAll('lunchtime'); # or remove all subscriptions for an event

Subscribe and notify with event argument:

eventPublisher.subscribe(
    'lunchtime',
    (dayOfTheWeek) =>  if (dayOfTheWeek === 'sunday') me.eatAtHome() 
); # subscribe to event and receive argument
    
eventPublisher.notify('lunchtime', 'sunday'); # publish event with event argument

Pending notification until first subscription:

eventPublisher.notify('lunchtime'); # publish event, since no subscribers are present, its in pending state
eventPublisher.subscribeAndExecuteIfPending('lunchtime', () => { me.eat() }); # once subscribed, the event is executed

Multiple unsubscription:

eventPublisher.unsubscribeAll(
    'lunchtime',
    'supper',
    'breakfast'
); # unsubscribes multiple events
