Typed event emitter

## Installation

``` shell

# npm

npm i @susisu/tyde

# yarn

yarn add @susisu/tyde

# pnpm

pnpm add @susisu/tyde

```

## Usage

tyde provides API that is similar to [EventEmitter](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html) and [event-kit](https://github.com/atom/event-kit).

The simplest usage is subscribing events with `.on()` and emitting events with `.emit()`.

``` typescript

import { Emitter } from "@susisu/tyde";

const emitter = new Emitter();

const subscription = emitter.on("change", value => {

  console.log(value);

});

emitter.emit("change", 42); // -> 42

```

Subscriptions can be unsubscribed by calling `.unsubscribe()`.

``` typescript

subscription.unsubscribe();

emitter.emit("change", 0); // no output

```

The curried version of `.on()` is also available.

``` typescript

const onChange = emitter.on("change");

const subscription = onChange(value => { /* ... */ });

```

You can optionally restrict types of emitted values by giving a dictionary to `Emitter`'s type parameter.

``` typescript

const emitter = new Emitter<{

  "change": number,

  "destroy": void,

}>();

emitter.emit("change", 42);     // ok

emitter.emit("destroy");        // ok

emitter.emit("foo", 42);        // type error: unknown event

emitter.emit("change", "test"); // type error: mismatched type

```

## Difference from other event emitters

By design, tyde has some difference from other event emitter libraries:

- No wildcards, because of the strongly typed interface.

- Events are emitted asynchronously by default.

  - Usually event handlers should not care whether it is called synchronously or asynchronously.

  - There is also a synchronous version `.emitSync()`, but it is not generally recommended.

- Invocation order of event handlers is not guaranteed in any way.

  - Specifying execution order in a less explicit way will lower the readability of code.

  - If you still want one, invoke functions sequentially in one event handler, or separate the event into multiple stages.
