triggerback

Event bus which provides a callback for trigger.

A very simple event bus, main reason for writing was that I wanted to fire a callback after all of the functions bound to the event had completed.

Think of a mashup between async.parallel and Backbone.events.trigger.

API

on(eventName, actionFunction)

Bind a function to an event. Note that the function needs to expect params as the first param, and callback as the second. See the examples below.

trigger(eventName, params, callback)

Run all functions in parallel bound to the event passing the params as the first param. When all functions are complete the callback will run.

off(eventName)

Removes all functions bound to the event. This may be a terrible idea, im not actually using it yet and this was the simplist implementation :)

Also there are no tests against .off

Example Usage

    var E = require('./index');
    var bus = new E();
 
    bus.on('bacon', function(params, next) {
        setTimeout(next, 60);
    });
 
    bus.on('bacon', function(params, next) {
       setTimeout(next, 30);
    });
 
    bus.trigger('bacon', {toast: true}, function() {
        console.log('90 ms later');
    });
