createEmitter<Events>(): Emitter<Events>

createEmitter() creates a new instance of an event emitter that provides the following methods:

.on(name: string, fn: (...args: any[]): void): () => void

Binds the fn callback to an event with the supplied name.

The method returns a function that unbinds the callback, preventing it from being called again.

const emitter = createEmitter()

const unbind = emitter.on('greet', () => console.log('Hello, world!'))

emitter.emit('greet') // triggers the callback

unbind()

emitter.emit('greet') // no longer triggers the callback

.emit(name: string, ...args: any[]): void

Fires the named event, triggering any subscribers previously bound to it using the .on() method. Arguments provided after the name are passed to the callback function.

const emitter = createEmitter()

emitter.on('greet', (name) => console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`))

emitter.emit('greet', 'TypeScript') // => 'Hello, TypeScript!'
