Venti Venti Logo

Ultra-tiny custom event emitter for Javascript

A very simple out of the box library I first made in 2016 that allows you to bind multiple callback to an event and call it with/without data. Perfect if you just want a quick and easy way to call events in an application without worrying about prop drilling.

Does this work with React?

Yes

HOW TO USE

Register event like so:

venti.on('eventName',functionName);

You can trigger events like so

venti.trigger('eventName');

Passing Data

if you want to pass data to your function you can do so in the form of an object like so

venti.trigger('eventName',{Data Goes Here});

the second argument gets passed as one parameter to your function so if you you trigger something like this:

venti.on('myFunctionEvent',myFunction);
venti.trigger('myFunctionEvent',{names:['Tony','Gus','Fred']});

your function would look like this...

myFunction(data){
  console.log(data.names); //Prints ['Tony','Gus','Fred']
}

Unregistering events

Unregistering events is very simple, you can pass the name of the event to remove everything associated with that event name.

venti.off('eventName');

Or you can pass the callback as the second parameter in order to unregister that specific function from the event.

venti.off('eventName',callback);

Logging

Venti logs all events that are triggered, to view the log simply use.

venti.eventLog(50) //Optional limit parameter (E.G. Only show the most recent 50)

By default if no parameter is passed to .eventLog() then Venti defaults to 1000; you can change this by modifying venti.eventLogLimit.

Misc

As it is required by the logging system, Venti can also return the plaintext name of a callback, simply use venti.nameFromFunction(callback) to retrieve the name of the function, this might be useful if you wish to log custom messages of your own.
