πŸ“’ Emitter RS

Crates.io License

πŸ“’ Emitter RS is a simple EventEmitter implementation for Rust and Wasm, providing easy event subscription and firing capabilities.

πŸš€ Getting Started

To start using emitter-rs, add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
emitter-rs = "0.0.4"

Then, you can use it in your code:

use emitter_rs::EventEmitter;

fn main() {
    let mut event_emitter = EventEmitter::new();

    event_emitter.on("Say Hello", |value: String| {
        println!("{}", value);
    });

    event_emitter.emit("Say Hello", "Hello world!".to_string());
}

πŸ’‘ Basic Usage

You can emit and listen to values of any type as long as they implement the serde Serialize and Deserialize traits. A single EventEmitter instance can have listeners to values of multiple types.

use emitter_rs::EventEmitter;

fn main() {
    let mut event_emitter = EventEmitter::new();

    event_emitter.on("Add three", |number: f32| println!("{}", number + 3.0));

    event_emitter.emit("Add three", 5.0 as f32);
    event_emitter.emit("Add three", 4.0 as f32);
}
// >> "8"
// >> "7"

Using a more advanced value type such as a struct by implementing the serde traits:

use emitter_rs::EventEmitter;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Date {
    month: String,
    day: String,
}

fn main() {
    let mut event_emitter = EventEmitter::new();

    event_emitter.on("LOG_DATE", |date: Date| {
        println!("Month: {} - Day: {}", date.month, date.day)
    });

    event_emitter.emit("LOG_DATE", Date {
        month: "January".to_string(),
        day: "Tuesday".to_string()
    });
}
// >> "Month: January - Day: Tuesday"

Removing listeners is also easy:

use emitter_rs::EventEmitter;

fn main() {
    let mut event_emitter = EventEmitter::new();

    let listener_id = event_emitter.on("Hello", |_: ()| println!("Hello World"));
    match event_emitter.remove_listener(&listener_id) {
        Some(_listener_id) => println!("Removed event listener!"),
        None => println!("No event listener of that id exists")
    }
}

// >> "Removed event listener!"

🌐 Creating a Global EventEmitter

You can create a global EventEmitter instance that can be shared across files:

// global_event_emitter.rs
use std::sync::Mutex;
use emitter_rs::EventEmitter;
use lazy_static::lazy_static;

// Use lazy_static! because the size of EventEmitter is not known at compile time
lazy_static! {
    // Export the emitter with `pub` keyword
    pub static ref EVENT_EMITTER: Mutex<EventEmitter> = Mutex::new(EventEmitter::new());
}

Then import this instance into multiple files:

// main.rs
mod global_event_emitter;
use global_event_emitter::EVENT_EMITTER;

fn main() {
    // We need to maintain a lock through the mutex to avoid data races
    EVENT_EMITTER.lock().unwrap().on("Hello", |_: ()| println!("hello there!"));
    EVENT_EMITTER.lock().unwrap().emit("Hello", ());
}

And in another file, you can listen to the "Hello" event in main.rs by adding a listener to the global event emitter:

// some_random_file.rs
use emitter_rs::event_emitter_file::EVENT_EMITTER;

fn random_function() {
    // When the "Hello" event is emitted in `main.rs`, print "Random stuff!"
    EVENT_EMITTER.lock().unwrap().on("Hello", |_: ()| println!("Random stuff!"));
}

🌟 Usage in WASM

Emitter RS can be seamlessly integrated into WebAssembly (WASM) projects, allowing you to create event-driven applications in the browser. Consider the following as an example:

use emitter_rs::EventEmitter;
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
use wasm_bindgen_futures::spawn_local;

fn run() {
    let mut event_emitter = EventEmitter::new();
    let result = Arc::new(Mutex::new(String::new()));

    let cloned_result = Arc::clone(&result);

    spawn_local(async move {
        event_emitter.on("some_event", move |value: String| {
            let mut result = cloned_result.lock().unwrap();
            result.push_str(&value);
        });

        event_emitter.emit("some_event", "Hello, world!".to_string());

        assert_eq!(*result.lock().unwrap(), "Hello, world!");
    });
}
