A custom event system.
import awayback from 'awayback'
const events = awayback()
events.on('event', (data) => {
console.log(data)
// data
})
events.emit('event', 'data')Install using NPM (or yarn):
$ npm i -g npm
$ npm i --save awayback
In JavaScript:
// Require awayback & create a new instance
import awayback from 'awayback'
const events = awayback()Require awayback & create a new instance.
import awayback from 'awayback'
const events = awayback()event<String>callback<Function>...data<Any>
options<Object>isIgnoringPrevious<Boolean>
The callback is executed each time the event is fired.
The arguments from the emit function call are also exposed to the listener.
events.on('name', (data) => {
// Event is fired, callback executed
// Use transmitted data
console.log(data)
})If the argument isExecutingPrevious in options is set to true, the listener executes event calls from before the initialization of the listener.
// Fire event before the initialization of .on()
// This event call will also be executed
events.emit('event', 'before')
setTimeout(() => {
events.on(
'event',
(data) => {
console.log(data)
// OUTPUT: before
// OUTPUT: after
// OUTPUT: another call
},
{
isExecutingPrevious: true,
}
)
evens.emit('event', 'after')
events.emit('event', 'another call')
}, 1000)event<String>callback<Function>...data<Any>event<String>
options<Object>isIgnoringPrevious<Boolean>
The callback is only executed once when the event is called first.
The arguments from the emit function call are also exposed to the listener.
events.once('event', (data) => {
// Event is fired, callback executed
// Use transmitted data
console.log(data)
// OUTPUT: one
})
events.emit('event', 'one')
events.emit('event', 'two')If the argument isExecutingPrevious in options is set to true, the listener executes event calls from before the initialization of the listener.
// Fire event before the initialization of .once()
// This event call will also be executed
events.emit('event', 'before')
setTimeout(() => {
events.once(
'event',
(data) => {
console.log(data)
// OUTPUT: before
},
{
isExecutingPrevious: true,
}
)
}, 1000)event<String>callback<Function>...data<Any>event<String>
options<Object>isIgnoringPrevious<Boolean>
The callback is only executed if this callback is the first and only one to be called.
The arguments from the emit function call are also exposed to the listener.
events.only('name', (data) => {
// Event is fired, callback executed
// Use transmitted data
console.log(data)
})events.on('event', () => {})
events.only('event', (data) => {
// Event is fired, callback is not executed
// because it's not the only event listener
console.log(data)
})
events.emit('event', 'data')If the argument isExecutingPrevious in options is set to true, the listener executes event calls from before the initialization of the listener.
// Fire event before the initialization of .only()
// This event call will also be executed
events.emit('event', 'before')
setTimeout(() => {
events.only(
'event',
(data) => {
console.log(data)
// OUTPUT: before
},
{
isExecutingPrevious: true,
}
)
}, 1000)event<String>...data<Any>
Events can be fired using the function fire.
The first required argument is the name of the event, the second, optional one, is data that can be transmitted.
events.emit('name', 'data')More than two arguments can be passed on.
// Listen to the events 'first' and 'second'
events.on('event', (...data) => {
console.log(data)
// OUTPUT: ['some', 'data']
})
events.emit('event', 'some', 'data')event<String>callback<Function>...data<Any>event<String>
Removes a listener from the event so that this is no longer executed when firing.
const handler = () => {}
events.on('event', handler)
events.remove('event', handler)MIT License
