tiny-emitter

A tiny (less than 1k) event emitter library. Works using CommonJS (Node, Browserify, Webpack, etc.) and also Bower.

Install

npm

npm install tiny-emitter --save

Bower

bower install tiny-emitter --save

<script src="bower_components/tiny-emitter/dist/tinyemitter.min.js"></script>

Usage

CommonJS (Node, Browserify, Webpack, etc.)

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.

var emitter = require('tiny-emitter/instance');

emitter.on('some-event', function (arg1, arg2, arg3) {
 //
});

emitter.emit('some-event', 'arg1 value', 'arg2 value', 'arg3 value');

Bower

var emitter = new TinyEmitter();

emitter.on('some-event', someCallback);
emitter.emit('some-event');

Instance Methods

on(event, callback[, context])

• context - (OPTIONAL) - the context to bind the event callback to

once(event, callback[, context])
