function onLogin(session: { username: string }) {
	console.log('logged in', session.username)
}

const offLogin = emitter.on('login', onLogin)

Typescript

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'

type Events = {
	login: { username: string }
}

const emitter = createEmitter<Events>()

emitter.on('login', (session) => {
	console.log('logged in', session.username) // session.username is inferred as string
})

emitter.emit('login', { username: 'albizures' })

Plugins

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'

const emitter = createEmitter().use((emitter) => {
	emitter.on('login', () => {
		console.log('login event')
	})
}).use((emitter) => {
	return {
		...emitter,
		onLogin: (cb: () => void) => emitter.on('login', cb),
	}
})

watcher

Plugin to watch all events emitted.

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'
import { withWatcher } from '@vyke/emitter/watcher'

const emitter = createEmitter().use(withWatcher)

emitter.watch((name, value) => {
	console.log('event', name, 'emitted with', value)
})

unique handlers

Plugin to ensure that a handler is only added once.

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'
import { withUniqueHandlers } from '@vyke/emitter/unique-handlers'

const emitter = createEmitter().use(withUniqueHandlers)

const onLogin = () => {
	console.log('login event')
}

emitter.on('login', onLogin)
emitter.on('login', onLogin) // this will not be added

once

Plugin to listen to an event only once.

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'
import { withOnce } from '@vyke/emitter/once'

const emitter = createEmitter().use(withOnce)

emitter.once('login', () => {
	console.log('login event') // this will be emitted only once
})

emitter.emit('login')
emitter.emit('login') // this will be emitted but not listened anymore

watcher

Plugin to watch all events emitted.

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'
import { withWatcher } from '@vyke/emitter/watcher'

const emitter = createEmitter().use(withWatcher)

emitter.watch((name, value) => {
	console.log('event', name, 'emitted with', value)
})

emitter.emit('login', { username: 'albizures' })

withOptions

Plugin to add a options object when listening to events. This plugin accepts a options handler that will be called when the handler is added.

Built-in options handlers options:

• withGroups: to group events by a string. This will be useful to remove all events from a group.

import { createEmitter } from '@vyke/emitter'
import { createGroup, withGroups, withOptions } from '@vyke/emitter/options'

const authGroup = createGroup()

const emitter = createEmitter()
	.use(withOptions(withGroups))

emitter.on('login', () => {
	console.log('login event')
}, { group: authGroup })
emitter.on('logout', () => {
	console.log('logout event')
}, { group: authGroup })

authGroup.off()

emitter.emit('login')
emitter.emit('logout')
// nothing will be logged

API

createEmitter

functional event emitter / pubsub.

withOptions

Plugin that allows for adding options to event handlers.

const withLog = withOptions((options, { name, handler }) => {
	if (options.log) {
		console.log(`Adding handler for ${name}`)
	}
})

const emitter = createEmitter().use(withLog)

emitter.on('foo', () => {})
// Logs: Adding handler for foo
