Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

event-emitter-module

v1.0.0

Published

A simple JavaScript event emitter module.

Readme

event-emitter-module

A simple Javascript event emitter

Installation

npm install event-emitter-module

Usage

Since the testing is not functional, it can be partially tested with the following. 
First instantiate a new Event Emitter from the class:
  const emitTest = new EventEmitter();

Methods

addListener(eventName, callbackFn){}
	-Adds a listener to an events object with the eventName as the key and callbackFn as the value

removeListener(eventName, callbackFn){}
	-Removes a listener to an events object based on the eventName and callbackFn passed in

removeAllListeners(){}
	-Remove all listeners from the events object (Should be able to pass in a specific eventName to target a specific listener)

once(eventName, callbackFn){}
	-Adds a listener that can be used up to one time and then removes that listener

emit(eventName, ...args){}
	-Emits the event and passes any arguments to the listeners that are looking for that event

Tests

The following are examples with expected output:
emitTest.addListener('change', (a, b) => {
  console.log(a, b);
});
emitTest.emit('change', 'a', 'b');
//expected output is: a b  

let m = 0;
emitTest.addListener('event', () => {
    console.log(++m);
});
emitTest.emit('event');
emitTest.emit('event');
//expected output is: 0
                      1
                      2

let n = 0;
emitTest.once('changeOnce', () => {
    console.log(++n);
});
emitTest.emit('changeOnce');
emitTest.emit('changeOnce');
//expected output is: 0
                      1                       

const callbackA = () => {
    console.log('A');
  emitTest.removeListener('newEvent', callbackB);
}
const callbackB = () => {
    console.log('B');
};

emitTest.addListener('newEvent', callbackA);
emitTest.addListener('newEvent', callbackB);
emitTest.emit('newEvent');
emitTest.emit('newEvent');
//expected output is: A
                      B
                      A

emitTest.emit('event');
 //since earlier 'event' was called expected output is: 3

emitTest.removeAllListeners('event');
emitTest.emit('event');
 //expected output is nothing since the listener was removed
