guaranteeEvents
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
This module exports a single function that when passed an event(s) and an
|
||||
[EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_events_eventemitter)
|
||||
compatible object will register a couple of handlers that
|
||||
will provide the following functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
* Cache event data for each event of the given type that gets emitted.
|
||||
|
||||
* Call new handlers of the specified event with each of the prior event
|
||||
data sets in order of event occurrence.
|
||||
|
||||
This is useful for modules like [glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob)
|
||||
that use the [EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_events_eventemitter)
|
||||
model to pass data to the user (see examples below).
|
||||
|
||||
This is similar to how state change handlers work in
|
||||
[jQuery.Deferred](http://api.jquery.com/category/deferred-object/) or in
|
||||
[Promise](https://promisesaplus.com/) objects.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Install
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ npm install guarantee-events
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Basic Examples
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
A synthetic example illustrating the basic functionality:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
|
||||
var emitter = new (require('events').EventEmitter)
|
||||
var guaranteeEvents = require('guarantee-events')
|
||||
|
||||
guaranteeEvents('event', emitter)
|
||||
|
||||
// emit some events...
|
||||
emitter.emit('event', 'some data')
|
||||
|
||||
emitter.emit('event', 'some', 'more', 'data')
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
// Here the handler will be called for each event it missed...
|
||||
emitter.on('event', function(){ console.log([].slice.apply(argumnts).join(' ')) })
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
emitter.emit('event', 'some data')
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A real-life use-case:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var glob = require('glob')
|
||||
var guaranteeEvents = require('guarantee-events')
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
// build a glob object with cached 'match' and 'end' events...
|
||||
var results = guaranteeEvents('match end', glob('**/*js'))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
// Do stuff for some time...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
// This will not miss a single result, regardless of how long it
|
||||
// took to do stuff...
|
||||
results.on('match', function(path){ console.log('found: '+path) })
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
