13 | ### Emitter(obj)
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
15 | The `Emitter` may also be used as a mixin. For example
|
---|
16 | a "plain" object may become an emitter, or you may
|
---|
17 | extend an existing prototype.
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | As an `Emitter` instance:
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
21 | ```js
|
---|
22 | var Emitter = require('emitter');
|
---|
23 | var emitter = new Emitter;
|
---|
24 | emitter.emit('something');
|
---|
25 | ```
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | As a mixin:
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | ```js
|
---|
30 | var Emitter = require('emitter');
|
---|
31 | var user = { name: 'tobi' };
|
---|
32 | Emitter(user);
|
---|
33 |
|
---|
34 | user.emit('im a user');
|
---|
35 | ```
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | As a prototype mixin:
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | ```js
|
---|
40 | var Emitter = require('emitter');
|
---|
41 | Emitter(User.prototype);
|
---|
42 | ```
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | ### Emitter#on(event, fn)
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | Register an `event` handler `fn`.
|
---|
47 |
|
---|
48 | ### Emitter#once(event, fn)
|
---|
49 |
|
---|
50 | Register a single-shot `event` handler `fn`,
|
---|
51 | removed immediately after it is invoked the
|
---|
52 | first time.
|
---|
53 |
|
---|
54 | ### Emitter#off(event, fn)
|
---|
55 |
|
---|
56 | * Pass `event` and `fn` to remove a listener.
|
---|
57 | * Pass `event` to remove all listeners on that event.
|
---|
58 | * Pass nothing to remove all listeners on all events.
|
---|
59 |
|
---|
60 | ### Emitter#emit(event, ...)
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | Emit an `event` with variable option args.
|
---|
63 |
|
---|
64 | ### Emitter#listeners(event)
|
---|
65 |
|
---|
66 | Return an array of callbacks, or an empty array.
|
---|
67 |
|
---|
68 | ### Emitter#hasListeners(event)
|
---|
69 |
|
---|
70 | Check if this emitter has `event` handlers.
