hoki

Lightweight observer and dispatcher.

Should cover basic use cases.

No bloat.

Clean code.

Installation

It's available on npm.

npm install --save hoki

How can I use this library?

Usage

API

const { register, unregister, observer, dispatcher, events } = require('hoki');

// Can register an event or array of events
register(string || []);

// Can unregister an event or array of events
unregister(string || []);

// Can observe for an event, and fire a callback if the event occurs
observe(string, function);

// Dispatch an event with data. Can also dispatch an empty event
dispatch(string, function/object/string/number/etc);

// List all events
events();

Example

const { register, dispatcher, observer } = require('hoki');

// Register your event
register('cat-names');

// Observe for an event
observer('cat-names', name => {
    console.log(name);
});
// output in correct order:
// furguson
// mittens
// boots

dispatcher('cat-names', 'furguson');
dispatcher('cat-names', 'mittens');
dispatcher('cat-names', 'boots');

You can also add multiple observers for the same event

const { register, observer, dispatcher } = require('hoki');

register('cat-names');

observer('cat-names', console.log);
// output in correct order:
// furguson
// mittens
// boots

observer('cat-names', console.log);
// output in correct order:
// furguson
// mittens
// boots

dispatcher('cat-names', 'furguson');
dispatcher('cat-names', 'mittens');
dispatcher('cat-names', 'boots');

Listen once?

const { register, unregister, observer, dispatcher } = require('hoki');

register('listenOnce');

observer('listenOnce', data => {
    unregister('listenOnce');
    
    console.log(data);
});

dispatcher('listenOnce', 'should run only once');
dispatcher('listenOnce', 'should run only once');

List all events available

const { events } = require('hoki');

console.log(events());
// [ 'cat-names' ]

Unregister

const {events, unregister} = require('hoki');

unregister('cat-names');
console.log(events());
// [ ]

Tests

$ npm test
