Tiny typed EventEmitter for TypeScript.

Installation

Usage

Subclass or incapsulate EventEmitter specified with your events interface. Use on and off methods to setup event handlers and emit to emit events.

Example

import { EventEmitter } from 'pietile-eventemitter';

interface Events {
  foo: () => void;
  bar: (a: number) => void;
}

const emitter = new EventEmitter<Events>();

function onFoo() {
  console.log('Foo');
}

emitter.on('foo', onFoo);
const handler = emitter.on('bar', (a: number) => {
  console.log('Bar: ', a);
});

emitter.emit('foo');
emitter.emit('bar', 42);

emitter.off('foo', onFoo);
emitter.off('bar', handler);

API

off<K>(event: K, handler: T[K]): void
