choo-shortemit

shortcut access to emit() anywhere in your app

copy of Jon Gacnik's choo-shortcache

Example

app.use(require('choo-shortemit'))

Anywhere in your application

var html = require('choo/html')
var Component = require('nanocomponent')
var { emit } = require('choo-shortemit')

module.exports = class MyComponent extends Component {
  createElement() {
    return html`
      <a href="#" onclick="${onclick}">Click me!</a>
    `

    function onclick(e) {
      e.preventDefault()
      emit('clicked')
    }
  }
}

Why?

Sometimes you want to interact directly with the app so you want to call emit(), but it's a struggle (and ugly code) to pass it down to the component. This plugin allows you to emit event anywhere in your app. Under the hood it just creates a reference to emitter.emit().
