Tiny 200b functional event emitter / pubsub.
- Microscopic: weighs less than 200 bytes gzipped
- Useful: a wildcard
"*"
event type listens to all events - Familiar: same names & ideas as Node's EventEmitter
- Functional: methods don't rely on
this
- Great Name: somehow mitt wasn't taken
Mitt was made for the browser, but works in any JavaScript runtime. It has no dependencies and supports IE9+.
This project uses node and npm. Go check them out if you don't have them locally installed.
$ npm install --save mitt
Then with a module bundler like rollup or webpack, use as you would anything else:
// using ES6 modules
import mitt from 'mitt'
// using CommonJS modules
var mitt = require('mitt')
The UMD build is also available on unpkg:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/mitt/dist/mitt.umd.js"></script>
You can find the library on window.mitt
.
import mitt from 'mitt'
const emitter = mitt()
// listen to an event
emitter.on('foo', e => console.log('foo', e) )
// listen to all events
emitter.on('*', (type, e) => console.log(type, e) )
// fire an event
emitter.emit('foo', { a: 'b' })
// clearing all events
emitter.all.clear()
// working with handler references:
function onFoo() {}
emitter.on('foo', onFoo) // listen
emitter.off('foo', onFoo) // unlisten
import mitt from 'mitt';
const emitter: mitt.Emitter = mitt();
