Eventus

This project introduces a class to be used as a mixin to allow a class to act as an event emitter to which others can subscribe. Several event-related projects existed, but none of them offered the flexibility and simplicity that we wanted, so we created Eventus.

Eventus is a professional implementation of EventEmitter for Dart. This is based on the Node.js EventEmitter enhanced with Dart super power!

Installation

To install package in your system, declare it as a dependency in pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
    eventus: ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"

Then import eventus in your project

import 'package:eventus/eventus.dart';

Usage

You can use strings to identify the event, and provide additional data separately:

// to emit:
emitter.emit('success', result_var);
// to subscribe:
emitter.on('success', (String r) => doStuff(r));

You can send zero or even to three elements to handler, like that:

emitter.emit('event', arg1, arg2, arg3);
// if you need more arguments use the power of lists
emitter.emit('event', arg1, arg2, [arg3, arg4, arg5]);

Unsubscribing an event

The removeListener() method allow you to remove a listener for a given event. This removes normal listeners or even one-time event handlers.

emitter.removeListener('event_name', handlerReference);

Remove all listeners for an event

If you want remove all the listeners who are listening a certain event, you use the removeAllListeners method.

emitter.removeAllListeners('event_name');

Remove all listeners

You can also unsubscribe all events from an event emitter as follows:

emitter.clearListeners();
