Methods
-
fire(eventTarget, eventName, data [, options])
-
Fires a new custom event of the specified name, carrying the provided data.
Note that this method does not prevent the event listeners to modify the data in any way. The order in which the event listeners will be executed is unspecified and should not be relied upon.
Note that the default options are
{ bubbles: true, cancelable: true
}, which is different from the default values used in the native custom events ({ bubbles: false, cancelable: false
}).Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description eventTarget
EventTarget The event target at which the event will be dispatched (e.g. element/document/window).
eventName
string The name of the event to fire.
data
* The data to pass to the event listeners.
options
Object <optional>
{} The override of the default options passed to the constructor of the custom event fired by this event bus. The default options passed to the custom event constructor are
{ bubbles: true, cancelable: true
}.Throws:
-
Thrown if the provided event target cannot be used to fire the event.
- Type
- Error
Returns:
This custom event bus.
- Type
- EventBus
-
-
listen(eventTarget, eventName, listener)
-
Registers the provided event listener to be executed when the specific custom event is fired by the same implementation of the event bus and passes through the specified event target.
When the specified event is fired, the event listener will be executed with the event passed as the first argument.
The order in which the event listeners will be executed is unspecified and should not be relied upon.
Parameters:
Name Type Description eventTarget
EventTarget The event target at which the listener should listen for the specified event.
eventName
string The name of the event to listen for.
listener
function The event listener to register.
Returns:
This event bus.
- Type
- EventBus
-
listenAll(eventTarget, listener)
-
Registers the provided event listener to be executed when any custom event is fired using the same implementation of the event bus and passes through the specified event target.
When the specified event is fired, the event listener will be executed with the event passed as the first argument.
The order in which the event listeners will be executed is unspecified and should not be relied upon.
Parameters:
Name Type Description eventTarget
EventTarget The event target at which the listener should listen for all event bus events.
listener
function The event listener to register.
Returns:
This event bus.
- Type
- EventBus
-
unlisten(eventTarget, eventName, listener)
-
Removes the provided event listener from the set of event listeners executed when the specified custom event fired by the same implementation passes through the specified event target.
The method has no effect if the listener is not registered for the specified event at the specified event target.
Parameters:
Name Type Description eventTarget
EventTarget The event target at which the listener is listening for the event.
eventName
string The name of the event listened for.
listener
function The event listener to deregister.
Returns:

Parameters:
Name Type Description eventTarget
EventTarget The event target at which the event listener listens for events.
