Mitt

Tiny 200b functional event emitter / pubsub.

• Zero dependencies: doesn't rely on any other package or polyfill
• Microscopic: weighs less than 200 bytes gzipped
• Useful: a wildcard "*" event type listens to all events
• Familiar: same names & ideas as Node's EventEmitter
• Functional: methods don't rely on this

import mitt from "mitt"


const emitter = mitt()

// listen to an event
emitter.on("foo", e => console.log("foo", e) )

// listen to all events
emitter.on("*", (type, e) => console.log(type, e) )

// fire an event
emitter.emit("foo", { a: "b" })

// clearing all events
emitter.all.clear()

// working with handler references:
function onFoo() {}
emitter.on("foo", onFoo)   // listen
emitter.off("foo", onFoo)  // unlisten
