It does not work well

[norgen]

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter
var merge = require('events-merge')

var MyObject = function() {
    EventEmitter.call(this)
}

var object1 = new MyObject()
var object2 = new MyObject()

var base = new EventEmitter()

merge.to(base).emitters([object1, object2])

base.on('test', function() {
   console.log('Test!') // Here not call
})

object1.emit('test')
object2.emit('test')

Why?

Hi @norgen, it seems like you're not using the api correctly.

When I tried to test it, first I needed to make MyObject inherit EventEmitter like this:

var util = require('util')

var MyObject = function() {
  EventEmitter.call(this)
};

util.inherits(MyObject, EventEmitter)

or else I would have got TypeError: object1.emit is not a function exception.

---

Secondly, it seems like you're trying to merge object1 and object2 events to base:

merge.to(base).emitters([object1, object2])

Since object1 and object2 have no events registered to them, base ends up 'inheriting' nothing.

---

Thirdly, after you merge object1 and object2 events to base, you're still emitting to object1 and object2 instead of emitting to base:

object1.emit('test')
object2.emit('test')

instead of:

base.emit('test')

---

Fourthly (is that a word?), pay attention to what you're emitting; instead of emitting test, you're emitting Test, which is a whole other event:

base.on('test', function() {
  console.log('Test!'); // Here not call
});

// [code...]

object1.emit('Test') // no such event as 'Test'. 
object2.emit('Test') // though 'test' event do exists.

---

Fifthly (this is getting absurd), you're merging the event emitters before you event initiate their events:

var object1 = new MyObject()
var object2 = new MyObject()

var base = new EventEmitter()

merge.to(base).emitters([object1, object2]) // merging

base.on('test', function() { // then initiating?
   console.log('Test!') // Here not call
})

---

Okay, so combining it all, you get:

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter
var merge = require('events-merge')
var util = require('util')

var MyObject = function() {
  EventEmitter.call(this)
};

util.inherits(MyObject, EventEmitter)

var object1 = new MyObject()
var object2 = new MyObject()

var base = new EventEmitter()

object1.on('test', function() {
  console.log('Test!')
});

object2.on('test', function() {
  console.log('Test!')
});

merge.to(base).emitters([object1, object2])

base.emit('test')

which prints:

Test!
Test!

Process finished with exit code 0

Or another option (if that what you've meant to achieve):

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter
var merge = require('events-merge')
var util = require('util')

var MyObject = function() {
  EventEmitter.call(this)
};

util.inherits(MyObject, EventEmitter)

var object1 = new MyObject()
var object2 = new MyObject()

var base = new EventEmitter()

base.on('test', function() {
  console.log('Test!')
});

merge.to(object1).emitters(base)
merge.to(object2).emitters(base)

object1.emit('test')
object2.emit('test')

which also prints:

Test!
Test!

Process finished with exit code 0

Hope this clears things out. Sorry for my late response, I was very busy and didn't notice your issue. I'll keep it open for discussion.

Oh, inconsiderate... Thanks!

No problems.
