Node.js EventEmitter

This project is an implementation of the Node.js EventEmitter using Node.js and TypeScript.

The EventEmitter class provides a simple way to emit and listen for events within your application. It allows you to create custom events and register event listeners to handle those events.

Installation

To use this project in your Node.js application, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ahmedsamir-dev/EventEmitter.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd EventEmitter

3. Install the dependencies:

npm install

Usage

You can use the EventEmitter class by importing it into your code:

import EventEmitter from './src/events';

// Create an instance of EventEmitter
const emitter = new EventEmitter();

// Register an event listener
emitter.on('eventName', (arg1, arg2) => {
  // Handle the event
});

// Emit an event
emitter.emit('eventName', arg1, arg2);

API

The EventEmitter class provides the following methods:

• on(eventName, eventListener): Adds an event listener for the specified event.
• once(eventName, eventListener): Adds a one-time event listener that will be automatically removed after being called once.
• off(eventName, eventListener): Removes an event listener.
• addListener(eventName, eventListener): Adds an event listener for the specified event.
• prependListener(eventName, eventListener): Adds an event listener to the beginning of the listeners array for the specified event.
• emit(eventName, ...args): Emits the specified event, triggering all registered event listeners.
• removeListener(eventName, eventListener): Removes an event listener.
• removeAllListeners(eventName): Removes all event listeners for the specified event.
• eventNames(): Returns an array of event names for which listeners have been registered.
• listeners(eventName): Returns an array of event listeners for the specified event.
• listenerCount(eventName, eventListener): Returns the number of listeners for the specified event.
• getMaxListeners(): Returns the maximum number of listeners that can be registered for an event.
• setMaxListeners(maxNumber): Sets the maximum number of listeners that can be registered for an event.
