js-event-bus
Advanced tools
Simple Event Bus library built for any JavaScript application.
npm i js-event-bus --save
yarn add js-event-bus
This library was built so you can use it in any JS application like Node.js apps, browser apps etc. The API is always the same.
If you want to use it in your Node.js apps you can import the library like this:
const eventBus = require('js-event-bus')();
If you want to use it in your Browser apps you can import the library like this:
<body>
<div>Put your content here</div>
<script src="/lib/js-event-bus/lib/js-event-bus.min.js"></script>
<script>
const eventBus = new EventBus();
</script>
</body>
eventBus.on('my-event', function () {
console.log('Inside `my-event`');
});
With this code, each time my-event is emited this function will be executed.
eventBus.once('my-event', function () {
console.log('Inside `my-event`. It\'ll be executed only one time!');
});
With this code, when my-event is emited this function will be executed. The next triggers of this event won't execute the callback because it is a one time event.
eventBus.exactly(3, 'my-event', function () {
console.log('Inside `my-event`. It\'ll be executed only 3 times!');
});
With this code, when my-event is emited this function will be executed with a maximum of triggers of 3.
You can emit an event by calling the emit function. The arguments are the following:
Here are some examples:
eventBus.emit('my-event');
eventBus.emit('my-event', null, 'a', 'b'); // your callback sould be function (a, b) { ... }
eventBus.emit('my-event', new SomeObject, 'a', 'b'); // your callback sould be function (a, b) { ... } and `this` will be set to the context of `SomeObject`
var callbackForMyEvent = function () {
console.log('Inside `my-event`.');
};
eventBus.on('my-event', callbackForMyEvent);
eventBus.emit('my-event');
eventBus.detach('my-event', callbackForMyEvent);
This code will emit the event my-event and then detach the given callback for this event. So it'll not be executed anymore.
eventBus.detach('my-event');
This code will remove the event my-event from the event bus.
eventBus.detachAll();
This code will remove the event my-event from the event bus.
eventBus.on('my-event', function () {
console.log('Inside `my-event`.');
});
eventBus.emit('my-event');
eventBus.die('my-event');
This code will emit the event my-event and then detach all the callbacks for this event. So any of them won't be executed anymore.
Note that off is an alias of die.
