# tiny-emitter
|
|
|
|
A tiny (less than 1k) event emitter library.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
### npm
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install tiny-emitter --save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var Emitter = require('tiny-emitter');
|
|
var emitter = new Emitter();
|
|
|
|
emitter.on('some-event', function (arg1, arg2, arg3) {
|
|
//
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
emitter.emit('some-event', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value', 'arg3 value');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can skip the initialization step by requiring `tiny-emitter/instance` instead. This pulls in an already initialized emitter.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var emitter = require('tiny-emitter/instance');
|
|
|
|
emitter.on('some-event', function (arg1, arg2, arg3) {
|
|
//
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
emitter.emit('some-event', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value', 'arg3 value');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Instance Methods

|
### on(event, callback[, context])

|
|
|
* `event` - the name of the event to subscribe to
|
|
* `callback` - the function to call when event is emitted

|
|
|
### once(event, callback[, context])

|
|
|
|
### off(event[, callback])
|
|
|
|
Unsubscribe from an event or all events. If no callback is provided, it unsubscribes you from all events.
|
|
|
|
