backbone-esnext-eventbus

Provides a default instance of backbone-esnext-events which may serve as a main eventbus. Please refer to backbone-esnext-events for detailed documentation. The main impetus for a default main eventbus being easily imported across modules is to facilitate message passing between modules versus direct dependencies / method invocation.

It should be noted that this module only depends on backbone-esnext-events which has no other dependencies.

An example follows:

import mainEventbus from 'backbone-esnext-eventbus';

mainEventbus.on('fire:test', () => { console.log('Test Fired!'); return 42; }

mainEventbus.trigger('fire:test');  // Prints 'Test Fired'!

const value = mainEventbus.triggerSync('fire:test');  // Prints 'Test Fired' and returns '42'!

assert(value === 42);

and in an entirely separate module / source file:

import mainEventbus from 'backbone-esnext-eventbus';

const value = mainEventbus.triggerSync('fire:test');  // Prints 'Test Fired' and returns '42'!

assert(value === 42);

There are also two other alternate eventbus instances provided as named exports: auxEventbus and pluginEventbus. These can be imported as follows:

import { auxEventbus } from 'backbone-esnext-eventbus';
import { pluginEventbus } from 'backbone-esnext-eventbus';
