## Features

- Modern
- For Node.js and browsers
- Support wildcard listener: `on('*', (type, ...payload) => {})`
- Support all major browsers including IE8
- 300 bytes minified and gzipped

## Install

```bash
yarn add eventstop
```

You can also use the UMD version via https://unpkg.com/eventstop

## Usage

```js
const eventstop = require('eventstop')

const {on, emit} = eventstop()

// subscribe an event
const off = on('ready', msg => {
console.log('message:', msg)
})

emit('ready', 'hola')
//=> hola

// unsubscribe
off()
```

## API

```js
const event = eventstop()
// or
const {on, off, emit, once} = eventstop()
```

### .on(event, handler)

Return a function which would execute `off(event, handler)` when you call it.

You can use `*` as event type to listen all types:

```js
on('*', (type, foo, bar) => {
console.log(type, foo, 'and', bar)
//=> hello you and me
})
emit('hello', 'you', 'me')
```

In wildcard listener, the first argument of handler function is its **type**.

### .once(event, handler)

Like `.on` but only trigger `handler` once.

#### event

Type: `string`

#### handler

Type: `function`

### .emit(event, ...args)

#### event

Type: `string`

### .off(event, handler)

Same args to `.on`
