# Emitter [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/component/emitter.png)](https://travis-ci.org/component/emitter) | |
Event emitter component. | |
## Installation | |
``` | |
$ component install component/emitter | |
``` | |
## API | |
### Emitter(obj) | |
The `Emitter` may also be used as a mixin. For example | |
a "plain" object may become an emitter, or you may | |
extend an existing prototype. | |
As an `Emitter` instance: | |
```js | |
var Emitter = require('emitter'); | |
var emitter = new Emitter; | |
emitter.emit('something'); | |
``` | |
As a mixin: | |
```js | |
var Emitter = require('emitter'); | |
var user = { name: 'tobi' }; | |
Emitter(user); | |
user.emit('im a user'); | |
``` | |
As a prototype mixin: | |
```js | |
var Emitter = require('emitter'); | |
Emitter(User.prototype); | |
``` | |
### Emitter#on(event, fn) | |
Register an `event` handler `fn`. | |
### Emitter#once(event, fn) | |
Register a single-shot `event` handler `fn`, | |
removed immediately after it is invoked the | |
first time. | |
### Emitter#off(event, fn) | |
* Pass `event` and `fn` to remove a listener. | |
* Pass `event` to remove all listeners on that event. | |
* Pass nothing to remove all listeners on all events. | |
### Emitter#emit(event, ...) | |
Emit an `event` with variable option args. | |
### Emitter#listeners(event) | |
Return an array of callbacks, or an empty array. | |
### Emitter#hasListeners(event) | |
Check if this emitter has `event` handlers. | |
