remitter

Description

Redis is awesome. But have you seen how one accomplishes pub/sub with the (otherwise incredibly awesome) redis module? Good ol' fashion event emitting/listening but using redis instead of node's native event emitter.

Get Deps

Redis needs to be running somewhere. Tests need mocha installed.

Install

  npm install remitter --save

Usage

  var Remitter = require( 'remitter' );
  var thing = new Remitter({
    host: '127.0.0.1', // this is default
    port: 6379, // this is default
    password: 'fflks48ow'
  });

  thing.connect( onReady );

  function onReady() {
    thing.on('anEvent', function(someData){
      // you know the deal
    });

    // .... some time later

    thing.emit( 'anEvent', { aMessage: 'sup' } );
  }

Test

  npm test
