The plugin for Vue.js provides a declarative way to bind events to a global event manager. It uses the Vue lifecycle to automatically bind and unbind all events.
- Supports event priorities and Promise based asynchronous events
 - Supports latest Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and IE9+
 - Supports Vue 2.0
 - Compact size 3KB (1,5KB gzipped)
 
You can install it via yarn or NPM.
$ yarn add vue-event-manager
$ npm install vue-event-manager
Available on jsdelivr or unpkg.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue-event-manager@2.1.3"></script>Try the example on jsfiddle.
new Vue({
  created() {
    // trigger event
    this.$trigger('someEvent', {foo: 'bar'});
  },
  events: {
    // event handler (priority 0)
    someEvent(event, param) { ... },
    // event handler (priority 10)
    earlyEvent: {
        // handler callback
        handler(event, param) { ... },
        // a higher priority, means earlier execution
        priority: 10
    },
    // event handler (priority -10)
    lateEvent: {
        // handler callback
        handler(event, param) { ... },
        // a lower priority, means late execution
        priority: -10
    }
  }
});Lets see how easy you can watch global events like reactive properties! (Like in this example).
Let's assume you have a logout button in any component template and want it to be handled somewhere else without these nasty $on(...) and $off(...) lines in the created and destroy hooks.
<!-- logoutButton.vue -->
<button @click="$trigger('logout:the-user')">Logout</button>// userManager.vue
export default {
  name: 'any-other-component',
  events: {
    // the event name string binds the method name string
    'logout:the-user': 'logout'
  },
  methods: {
    // this method will be called everytime the event occurs
    logout (event, param) {
      this.$http.post('/logout')
    }
  }
