events_emitter 0.4.3

An intuitive Event-based system, inspired by NodeJS's Event Emitter. Allows for multiple data types with type safety events. Based on JavaScript and suitable for Dart and Flutter.

0.4.3

Added:

• StreamEventListener, it's useful for having a streaming alternative to the default EventEmitter class.

Fixed:

• Documentation with old property topic naming.
• EventListener callbacks would throw an exception in some cases when using dynamic.

0.4.2

Added:

• cancelAdded parameter to EventListener, tells the listener to automatically remove itself from the added EventEmitter when the .cancel() method is called. This is used in case you want to add your own canceling method. It essentially appends callbacks to the onCancel callbacks.

• .appendCallback() method to EventListener

[!] Changed:

• Typedef EventAddedCallback renamed to EventCallbackAdd
• Typedef EventRemoveCallback renamed to EventCallbackRemove
• Typedef EventCancelCallback renamed to EventCallbackCancel

Fixed:

• lint dependency moved to developer dependency

0.4.1

Changed:

• rxdart dependency updated from 0.27.3 to 0.27.5

Fixed:

• Type matching in .off()
• [!] Positional parameters in .off() changed to named parameters, as it was intended

0.4.0

Added:

• EventListener properties once and protected added
• EventListener callbacks onAdd, onRemove and onCancel
• EventListener handles custom events, they can also act like normal events. This is used to add context to an event if needed.
• EventEmitter .on() can catch the data as well as the Event<T> of the data

[!] Changed:

• EventStreamEmitter was renamed to StreamEventEmitter
• Event property topic renamed to type, to match JavaScript events
• Event property message renamed to data
• StreamEventEmitter's stream controller is now public

[!] Removed:

• EventEmitter sync.
• EventListener property stream, subscription and messageType

Massive BREAKING CHANGES:

• EventEmitter was refactored to not depend on Streams, which means it now manages the callbacks itself. The emitter can have more complex listener logic. Before it would depend on StreamEventEmitter.

• File structure was changed to be more organized. This means you might need to update your imports.

• Sync is no longer a thing in the EventEmitter, it's a StreamEventEmitter only thing now.

• Other changes: [!]

0.2.0

Added:

• .emitEvent() emits an existing event, without having to create a new one
