Installation

$ component install intesso/events

Usage example

node.js events api:

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter;
var ee = new EventEmitter();

ee.on('foo', function(data) {
  console.log('foo received', data);
})

}

var Events = require('events');
Events(Obj.prototype);

obj = new Obj();

obj.addListener('foo', function(data) {

})

obj.emit('foo', 'bar');
// -> 'foo received bar'
