GoMit

GoMit (short for "go emit") provides facilities for defining, emitting, and handling events within a Go program. It's used in Snap to simplify event handling. It's core principles are:

• Speed over abstraction
• No order guarantees
• No persistence

Using GoMit

With Go installed, you can go get it:

$ go get -d github.com/intelsdi-x/gomit

Examples

From gomit_test.go:

type MockEventBody struct {
}

type MockThing struct {
	LastNamespace string
}

func (m *MockEventBody) Namespace() string {
	return "Mock.Event"
}
//create a function to handle the gomit event
func (m *MockThing) HandleGomitEvent(e Event) {
	m.LastNamespace = e.Namespace()
}

//create an event controller
event_controller := new(EventController)
//add registration to handler
mt := new(MockThing)
event_controller.RegisterHandler("m1", mt)
//emit event
eb := new(MockEventBody)
i, e := event_controller.Emit(eb)
//unregister handler
event_controller.UnregisterHandler("m1")
//check if handler is registered
b := event_controller.IsHandlerRegistered("m1")

Roadmap

GoMit does all we need it to do and we plan to keep it that simple. If you find a bug in your own usage, please let us know through an Issue.

Maintainers

The maintainers for GoMit are the same as Snap.
