# evee.js

The blazing fast event library 🔥

Evee is a lightweight event library, written in just ~200 lines of JavaScript.  

Evee exports ESM, CommonJS and Browser globals, so you can use it in any environment.

## How to install

```sh

npm install evee # if you're using NPM

yarn add evee # if you're using Yarn

```

## Introducing Evee 3

Evee now natively supports ESM and CommonJS.

We export two things:

- `Evee` (default export): The class you can use to create new instances of Evee.

- `evee` (named export): A pre-made instance of Evee so you can immediately start using it.

If you're planning to use Evee in NodeJS, you can now import it like this:

```js

import Evee, { evee } from 'evee'; // If you're using ESM (import/export)

const { default: Evee, evee } = require('evee'); // If you're using CommonJS (require)

```

If you're planning to use Evee in the browser, you can now import it like this:

```html

  import Evee, { evee } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/evee@3';

  // You can use the `Evee` (class) and `evee` (instance) globals here

```

## How to use

```js

import { evee } from 'evee'

// Subscribe to the 'update' event

evee.on('update', e => console.log(`Received event #${e.data}`))

for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {

  // Dispatch the 'update' event

  evee.emit('update', i);

}

```

You can also keep track of your event listeners unsubscribe from events you don't need anymore.

```js

import { evee } from 'evee'

// Subscribe to the 'say' event

var receiver = evee.on('say', e => console.log(e.data));

// Dispatch the 'say' event

evee.emit('say', 'Hello, world!');

// Unsubscribe from the 'say' event

evee.drop(receiver);

```

If you want to fire an event only once, you can do that too!   

The event will be automatically removed after the first usage:

```js

import { evee } from 'evee'

// Subscribe to the 'say' event

evee.once('say', e => console.log('hello, world'));

// Dispatch the 'say' event two times

evee.signal('say');

evee.signal('say');

// hello, world is only printed once!

```

As you can see, evee is really easy to use!   

Start using evee today and stop worrying about slow events :)
