Base class for event handling, providing mechanisms to register, emit, and unbind events. This class supports adding event listeners, emitting events with up to 8 arguments, and managing multiple emitters.

// Create an instance of the Events class
const events = new Events();

// Register an event listener
events.on('testEvent', (arg1, arg2) => {
console.log('Event triggered with arguments:', arg1, arg2);
});

// Emit the event
events.emit('testEvent', 'value1', 'value2');

// Unbind the event listener
events.unbind('testEvent');

Methods

  • Adds another emitter. Any events fired by this instance will also be fired on the additional emitter.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Emits the specified event, executing all registered listeners for that event with the provided arguments. If events are suspended, the emit operation will be ignored.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the event to emit.

    • Optionalarg0: any

      The first argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg1: any

      The second argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg2: any

      The third argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg3: any

      The fourth argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg4: any

      The fifth argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg5: any

      The sixth argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg6: any

      The seventh argument to pass to the event listeners.

    • Optionalarg7: any

      The eighth argument to pass to the event listeners.

    Returns Events

    The current instance for chaining.

    // Register an event listener
    events.on('testEvent', (arg1, arg2) => {
    console.log('Event triggered with arguments:', arg1, arg2);
    });

    // Emit the event
    events.emit('testEvent', 'value1', 'value2');

    // Emit the event with more arguments
    events.emit('testEvent', 'value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4');
  • Registers an event listener for the specified event name. If the event is emitted, the callback function is executed with up to 8 arguments.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the event to listen for.

    • fn: HandleEvent

      The callback function to be executed when the event is emitted.

    Returns EventHandle

    An EventHandle object that can be used to unbind the event listener.

    // Register an event listener
    events.on('testEvent', (arg1, arg2) => {
    console.log('Event triggered with arguments:', arg1, arg2);
    });

    // Emit the event
    events.emit('testEvent', 'value1', 'value2');
  • Registers a one-time event listener for the specified event name. The callback function is executed the next time the event is emitted, and then automatically unbound.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      The name of the event to listen for.

    • fn: HandleEvent

      The callback function to be executed once when the event is emitted.

    Returns EventHandle

    An EventHandle object that can be used to unbind the event listener before it is triggered.

    // Register a one-time event listener
    events.once('testEvent', (arg1, arg2) => {
    console.log('Event triggered once with arguments:', arg1, arg2);
    });

    // Emit the event
    events.emit('testEvent', 'value1', 'value2'); // The callback will be called and then unbound.

    // Emit the event again
    events.emit('testEvent', 'value1', 'value2'); // The callback will not be called this time.
  • Unbinds an event listener for the specified event name. If a callback function is provided, only that specific listener is removed. If no callback is provided, all listeners for the event are removed. If no event name is provided, all listeners for all events are removed.

    Parameters

    • Optionalname: string

      The name of the event to unbind. If not provided, all events are unbound.

    • Optionalfn: HandleEvent

      The specific callback function to remove. If not provided, all listeners for the event are removed.

    Returns Events

    The current instance for chaining.

    // Register an event listener
    const callback = (arg1, arg2) => {
    console.log('Event triggered with arguments:', arg1, arg2);
    };
    events.on('testEvent', callback);

    // Unbind the specific event listener
    events.unbind('testEvent', callback);

    // Unbind all listeners for a specific event
    events.unbind('testEvent');

    // Unbind all listeners for all events
    events.unbind();
