const { eventEmitter, eventListener } = declareEvents<{
  userNameChanged: { newName: string };
  exit: void;
}>();

Listen to the events in any component

import { eventListener } from "@/events";

function UserProfile() {
  eventListener.userNameChanged.useSubscription(({ newName }) => {
    alert("User name was changed to " + newName);
  });

  eventListener.exit.useSubscription(() => {
    if (confirm("Are you sure you want to close the app?")) {
      // do something
    }
  });

  return <div>{/* jsx */}</div>;
}

Emit events from any component

import { eventEmitter } from "@/events";

function ExitButton() {
  return <button onClick={() => eventEmitter.exit()}>Exit</button>;
}
