Pidgey

An ES7 emitter class utilizing promises

Installation

npm install pidgey --save

Usages

To import the emitter class:

var Pidgey = require('pidgey');

To create an emitter:

var emitter = new Pidgey();

Once you have an emitter you can add a callback like this:

emitter.on('example', function(){
  console.log("example has been triggered");
}

...And you can trigger them like this:

emitter.trigger('example');
// "example has been triggered"

You can pass arguments to trigger:

emitter.on('example2', function(resolve, reject, argument){
  // I will explain resolve and reject further in this document
  console.log("example2 has been triggered with '" + argument + "'");
}
emitter.trigger('example2', "test");
// "example2 has been triggered with 'test'"

If you want some code to run only after every trigger was successful:

emitter.on('example3', function(resolve, reject){
  console.log("example3 has been triggered with and is being IMPLICITLY resolved");
});
emitter.trigger('example3').then(function(){
  console.log("all callbacks were successful");
});
// "example3 has been triggered with and is being implicitly resolved"
// "all callbacks were successful"

emitter.on('example3', function(resolve, reject){
  console.log("example3 has been triggered with and is being EXPLICITLY resolved");
  resolve();
});
emitter.trigger('example3').then(function(){
  console.log("all callbacks were successful");
});
// "example3 has been triggered with and is being implicitly resolved"
// "example3 has been triggered with and is being EXPLICITLY resolved"
// "all callbacks were successful"

emitter.on('example3', function(resolve, reject){
  console.log("example3 has been triggered with and is being EXPLICITLY rejected");
  reject();
});
emitter.trigger('example3').then(function(){
  console.log("all callbacks were successful");
});
// "example3 has been triggered with and is being implicitly resolved"
// "example3 has been triggered with and is being EXPLICITLY resolved"
// "example3 has been triggered with and is being EXPLICITLY rejected"
