💧EventEmitter's typesafe replacement💧























Home

Documentation

---

`'evt'` is intended to be a replacement for `'events'`.
It makes heavy use of **typescript**'s type inference features to provide **type safety** while keeping things **concise and elegant** 🍸.

Suitable for any JS runtime env (deno, node, old browsers, react-native ...)
- ✅ It is both a [Deno](https://deno.land/x/evt) and an [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/evt) module. ( Achieved with [Denoify](https://github.com/garronej/denoify) )
- ✅ No external dependencies ([`tsafe`](https://github.com/garronej/tsafe), [`run-exclusive`](https://github.com/garronej/run_exclusive) and [`minimal-polyfills`](https://github.com/garronej/minimal_polyfills) are all from the same author as EVT).
- ✅ [Makes it easy to work with events in React](https://docs.evt.land/react-hooks).

Can be imported in TypeScript projects using version TypeScript >= 3.8 (February 20th, 2020) and in any plain JS projects.

> NOTE: There is very few breaking changes from v1 to v2. [Check them out](https://docs.evt.land/v1-greater-than-v2).

# Who is using it



















# Install / Import

## In Deno:
```typescript
import { Evt } from "https://deno.land/x/evt/mod.ts";
```
## Anywhere else:
```bash
$ npm install --save evt
```
```typescript
import { Evt } from "evt";
```

# Try it



Playground

# Motivations

There are a lot of things that can't easily be done with `EventEmitter`:

* Enforcing **type safety**.
* Removing a particular listener ( if the callback is an anonymous function ).
* Adding a one-time listener for the next event that meets a condition.
* Waiting \(via a Promise\) for one thing or another to happen.
_Example: waiting at most one second for the next message, stop waiting if the socket disconnects._

Why would someone pick EVT over RxJS:

* EVT's learning curve is not as steep as RxJS's.
* Generates code that is easier to grasp for people not familiar with reactive programming.

EVT is an attempt to address all these points while trying to remain as accessible as `EventEmitter`.
