Despot

A global event bus driven by a singlton event emitter class. Use this module to hook something in other objects.

Originally forked from https://github.com/teawithfruit/node-singleton-event with the difference that it also works on silly browsers ... IE.

Beware it's very controversial to have a singleton acting as an event emitter. Depends on your app architecture. The fact that nodejs/iojs caches any module.exports makes it easy to build one. IMO it's useful for rapid prototyping but not recommended for high performance apps.

Install

npm i -S despot

How to use

Require it in every file where you want to communicate with another file.

Say something:

var despot = require('despot')
despot.emit('talk', 'hello world')

Receive something:

var despot = require('despot')
despot.on('talk', function (value) {
  console.log(value)
})
