How to stop execution/cancel an event

[Marco]

EventEmitter allow to chain listeners for an event. I would like to stop the listeners to be called at some point, pretty much like the return false or e.preventDefault() work on the DOM element event.

something like that :

eventEmitter = new EventEmitter()

eventEmitter
  .on('connection', (e) => {
    ...
    if (...) {
      // here, cancel the event with some method.
    }
  })
  .on('connection', (e) => {
    ...
   // not called because stopped in the previous listener.
  });

Are they any methods to do it ?
I know I can throw an error, but I'm not able to catch it some anywhere.

No, it is not possible with eventemitter3 or the Node.js core EventEmitter.

Thx for your response, I'm gonna go for the not very graceful throw 'stopping propagation'
