Usage

dispatch(type, detail)

import {dispatch} from 'bubbly'
const target = new EventTarget()
target::dispatch('welcome', { hello: 'world' })

bubble(type, detail)

Like dispatch but lets the event bubble up.

import {bubble} from 'bubbly'
document.body::bubble('shake', { dat: 'booty' })

on(type, handler)

Alias for addEventListener.

import {on} from 'bubbly'
document::on('DOMContentLoaded', ::console.info)

off(type, handler)

Alias for removeEventListener.

import {off} from 'bubbly'
document::off('DOMContentLoaded')

once(type, handler)

Wait for an event to fire, then stop listening.

import {once} from 'bubbly'
const anchor = document.createElement('a')
anchor::once('click', event => event.preventDefault())

Or treat an event like a Promise.

await anchor::once('click')
