event-mitter-js v0.0.2

event-mitter-js

A tiny (less than 1k) event emitter library.

Install

npm

npm install event-mitter-js --save

Usage

const Emitter = require('event-mitter-js');
const emitter = new Emitter();

emitter.on('some-event', function (arg1, arg2, arg3) {
 //
});

emitter.emit('some-event', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value', 'arg3 value');

Alternatively, you can skip the initialization step by requiring event-mitter-js/instance instead. This pulls in an already initialized emitter.

const emitter = require('event-mitter-js/instance');

emitter.on('some-event', function (arg1, arg2, arg3) {
 //
});

emitter.emit('some-event', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value', 'arg3 value');
