Event Dispatcher
The simplest ever event dispatcher in 117 bytes (minified).
Motivation
In the search for reducing the size of the JS bundle, I started looking at all the things that could be compressed/simplified in an MVC framework. And that's when I realized that we don't need to implement a new events system because all web browsers already have it built-in.
This library's only objective is to provide a simpler interface to trigger and listen for events on client-side Javascript.
Usage
You can listen for events this way:
on('myCustomEvent', function(evt) {
console.log('An event of type "myCustomEvent" was triggered');
});And you can also trigger them:
emit('myCustomEvent');In case you are thinking: can I send data along with the event? The answer is yes, very simply:
emit('user:created', { name: 'John' });And you can find the data object under the detail property of the event.
on('user:created', function(user) {
console.log('User created:', user.name);
});
