Flux: Signal

A simple and efficient TypeScript library for event-driven communication using signals.

Features

• Lightweight and focused: Provides a streamlined implementation of the signal pattern for event handling.
• TypeScript Support: Written in TypeScript with full type definitions for improved code quality and developer experience.
• Easy to use: Intuitive API for emitting and subscribing to events with strongly-typed messages.
• Asynchronous Support: Handle asynchronous events with Promise-based untilNewNotify method.
• Built-in Logging: Integrated logging for debugging and monitoring.

Installation

npm install @alwatr/signal

Usage

import {AlwatrSignal} from '@alwatr/signal';

// Create a new signal
const mySignal = new AlwatrSignal<{message: string}>({name: 'my-signal'});

// Subscribe to the signal
const subscription = mySignal.subscribe((message) => {
  console.log('Received message:', message);
});

// Emit an event
mySignal.notify({message: 'Hello, world!'});

// Wait for the next event asynchronously
const nextMessage = await mySignal.untilNewNotify();
console.log('Next message:', nextMessage);

// Unsubscribe when done
subscription.unsubscribe();

API

AlwatrSignal

• constructor(config: {name: string; loggerPrefix?: string}): Creates a new AlwatrSignal instance.

  • config.name: The name of the signal (used for logging).
  • config.loggerPrefix: Optional prefix for log messages.

• subscribe(listenerCallback: ListenerCallback<this, T>, options: SubscribeOptions = {}): SubscribeResult: (Inherited from AlwatrObservable) Subscribes to the signal.

  • listenerCallback: The function to be called when an event is emitted.
  • options:
    • once: If true, the listener will be automatically unsubscribed after the first event.
    • priority: If true, the listener will be executed before other listeners.
    • receivePrevious: If true, the listener will be immediately called with the last emitted event (if available).
    • disabled: If true, the listener will not be executed.

• unsubscribe(listenerCallback: ListenerCallback<this, T>): (Inherited from AlwatrObservable) Unsubscribes a listener from the signal.

• notify(message: T): Emits an event to all subscribers.

  • message: The data to be sent to the subscribers.

• untilNewNotify(): Returns a Promise that resolves with the next emitted event.
