@foxify/events is an EventEmitter alternative for Node.js and browser that has been optimized to be faster than the native version, (why not?!).

This module is API compatible with the EventEmitter that ships by default with Node.js but there are some slight differences:

• The newListener and removeListener events have been removed as they are useful only in some uncommon use-cases.
• The setMaxListeners and getMaxListeners methods are not available.
• Support for custom context for events so there is no need to use bind.

npm i @foxify/events

const { EventEmitter } = require("@foxify/events");

For the API documentation, please follow the official Node.js documentation.

We've upgraded the API of the on, once, addListener, prependListener and prependOnceListener to accept an extra argument which is the context or this value that should be set for the emitted events. This means you no longer have the overhead of an event that required bind in order to get a custom this value.

const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();
const context = { foo: "bar" };

function emitted() {
  console.log(this === context); // true
}

eventEmitter.on("event:1", emitted, context);
eventEmitter.once("event:2", emitted, context);
eventEmitter.addListener("event:3", emitted, context);
eventEmitter.prependListener("event:4", emitted, context);
eventEmitter.prependOnceListener("event:5", emitted, context);
