Install

npm install more-events

It's

Another event emitter with the usual methods.

• on
• off
• one
• emit

This is similar to node's event Emitter, but the emitter in more-events is lighter.

emitter.addListener(name, listener, matchListener)

Set a listener like with emitter.on() except matchListener will be used to find the listener instead of listener for removal.

The default for matchListener is null, and if it is null listener will be used for removal.

emitter.clear(name)

Remove all listeners on the given event name using emitter.clear(name).

Other methods/properties to be aware of:

• removeListener()
• emitListeners()
• removeAll()

emitter.listeners

emitter.listeners is object where listeners are stored.

Set the context if you want.

import { Emitter } from 'more-events';
function MyClass(){
    this.emitter = new Emitter(this /*A different context for listeners*/);
}

Otherwise the emitter uses it's own context, or the inherited context (this instance).

import { Emitter } from 'more-events';
class MyClass extends Emitter {
    constructor(){
        super(); //Emitter uses this from MyClass
    }
}

emitter.dispose()

Destroy the object when you don't need it any more. Good for memory management.

Why?

Because I can, and because I need a really light emitter I can depend on.
