# Event Emitter

The `EventEmitter` lets you register multiple observers. While there is no observer, the events are enqueued.

To unregister, call `stopListening()` on the `NotificationToken` returned from `eventEmitter.startListening`. You can also use a `CompositeNotificationToken`.

`EventEmitter` implements `EventSource`, so that the `EventEmitter` can be exposed as something to be observed, but cannot be emitted to from the outside.

You can only emit events and listen for events and unregister observers on the thread where you created the `EventEmitter`.

## Example

``` kotlin
// write
private val emitter: EventEmitter = EventEmitter()
val events: EventSource get() = emitter

fun doSomething() {
emitter.emit("hello")
}

// read
private var subscription: EventSource.NotificationToken? = null

fun observe() {
subscription = events.startListening { event ->
showToast(event)
}
}

fun unsubscribe() {
subscription?.stopListening()
subscription = null
}
```

## Example with LifecycleOwner + observe

## Using Event Emitter

In order to use Event Emitter, you need to add jitpack to your project root gradle:

buildscript {
repositories {
// ...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
// ...
}
allprojects {
repositories {
// ...
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
// ...
}

In newer projects, you need to also update the `settings.gradle` file's `dependencyResolutionManagement` block:

```
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } // <--
jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
}
}
```

and add the dependency to your module level gradle.
