Highlights

• 100% typesafe:
  • Statically enforces that channels in .on() are defined
  • Statically enforces that channels in .emit() are defined
  • Statically enforces that emitters are called with the correct data given their Message name
  • Statically enforces that listeners are called with the correct data given their Message name
• Supports all RxJS Observable methods
• Supports RxJS versions 4, 5, and 6
• Preforms dynamic analysis to detect and warn about cycles in emitters
• 3.7kb gzipped & minified (using RxJS6), including RxJS

Installation (with RxJS v5.x or v6.x - recommended)

# Using Yarn:
yarn add typed-rx-emitter rxjs

# Using NPM:
npm install typed-rx-emitter rxjs --save

Installation (with RxJS v4.x)

# Using Yarn:
yarn add typed-rx-emitter@^0.3

# Using NPM:
npm install typed-rx-emitter@^0.3 --save

Usage

import { Emitter } from 'typed-rx-emitter'

// Enumerate messages
type Messages = {
  INCREMENT_COUNTER: number
  OPEN_MODAL: boolean
}

const emitter = new Emitter<Messages>()

// Listen on an event (basic)
emitter
  .on('OPEN_MODAL')
  .subscribe(_ => console.log(`Change modal visibility: ${_}`)) // _ is a boolean

// Listen on an event (advanced)
import { debounceTime, filter } from 'rxjs/operators'

emitter
  .on('INCREMENT_COUNTER')
  .pipe(
    filter(_ => _ > 3), // _ is a number
    debounceTime(100)
  )
  .subscribe(_ => console.log(`Counter incremented to ${_}`)) // _ is a number

// Listen on all events
emitter
  .all()
  .subscribe(() => console.log('Something changed'))

// Trigger an event - throws a compile time error unless id and value are set, and are of the right types
emitter.emit('OPEN_MODAL', true)

// Event is misspelled - throws a compile time error
emitter.emit('INCREMENT_CONTER')

Options

Emitter takes an optional options argument. options is an object, and each key in the object is optional:
