Observable Base Class

The Observable base class makes and subclass trigger events and accept event listeners. It is similar to an EventEmitter.

Example:
class Test extends Observable {
    doSomething() {
        // work
        this.trigger('work-done', {some: params})
    }
}

let test = new Test();
test.on('work-done', (params) => yay());

With Sockets:

You can also bind sockets (SocketIO) to an Observable and all events will also be emitted or received via the socket. See the API below for binding sockets.

Methods:

  • on(event, listener): Listen to an event.
  • trigger(event): trigger an event.
  • once(event, listener): trigger an event once.
  • bindSocketServer(socket): Emit triggers on this socket.
  • bindSocketClient(socket): Listen for events on this socket.
