Package Exports

lt-event-promise

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (lt-event-promise) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

event-promise

A respository for npm lt-event-promise

Same as node module events.EventEmitter but return Promise of executing listeners when call emit()

Installing

Using npm

npm i lt-event-promise

With node

const EventPromise = require('lt-event-promise')
const emitter = new EventPromise()

With client using webpack

import EventPromise from 'lt-event-promise'
const emitter = new EventPromise()

Basic usage

emitter.on('hello', () => console.log('Hello world!'))
emitter.emit('hello')

Hello world!

Using Promise and async/await

Using Promise

emitter.on('task', longTask)
emitter.emit('task')
  .then(console.log)

function longTask() {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    setTimeout(() => resolve('data'), 2000)
  })
}

[ 'data' ]

Many listeners

emitter.on('task', task1, task2)
emitter.emit('task')
  .then(console.log)
  
function task1() { return 'data1' }
function task2() { return 'data2' }

[ 'data1', 'data2' ]

Error handling

emitter.on('task', task, errorTask)
emitter.emit('task')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(err => {
    console.log('catch error here')
    console.log(err)
  })

function task() { return 'data' }
function errorTask() { throw new Error('Something went wrong!') }

'catch error here'
...
throw new Error('Something went wrong!')
^
Error: Something went wrong!
...

Using async/await

emitter.on('task', task1, task2)

try {
  let datas = await emitter.emit('task')
  console.log(datas)
} catch(err) {
  console.error(err)
}

[ 'data1', 'data2' ]

.on and .once

emitter.on('task', onTask)
emitter.once('task', onceTask)

emitter.emit('task')
  .then(datas => console.log('First emit:', datas))

emitter.emit('task')
  .then(datas => console.log('Next emit:', datas))

function onTask() { return 'onData' }
function onceTask() { return 'onceData' }

First emit: [ 'onData', 'onceData' ]
Next emit: [ 'onData' ]
