Class: EventBusImpl

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:27

Helper for custom events.

It offers public methods for firing custom events and two methods for catching events (e.g. inside view components).

Extends

Constructors

new EventBusImpl()

new EventBusImpl(window): EventBusImpl

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:54

Initializes the custom event helper.

Parameters

window

Window

The IMA window helper.

Returns

EventBusImpl

Overrides

EventBus.constructor

Accessors

$dependencies

Get Signature

get static $dependencies(): typeof Window[]

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:45

Returns

typeof Window[]

Methods

fire()

fire(eventTarget, eventName, data, options): EventBusImpl

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:66

Fires a new custom event of the specified name, carrying the provided data.

Note that this method does not prevent the event listeners to modify the data in any way. The order in which the event listeners will be executed is unspecified and should not be relied upon.

Note that the default options are { bubbles: true, cancelable: true }, which is different from the default values used in the native custom events ({ bubbles: false, cancelable: false }).

Parameters

eventTarget

EventTarget

The event target at which the event will be dispatched (e.g. element/document/window).

eventName

string

The name of the event to fire.

data

any

The data to pass to the event listeners.

options

EventBusOptions = {}

The override of the default options passed to the constructor of the custom event fired by this event bus. The default options passed to the custom event constructor are { bubbles: true, cancelable: true }.

Returns

EventBusImpl

This custom event bus.

Throws

Thrown if the provided event target cannot be used to fire the event.

Overrides

EventBus.fire


listen()

listen(eventTarget, eventName, listener): EventBusImpl

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:127

Registers the provided event listener to be executed when the specific custom event is fired by the same implementation of the event bus and passes through the specified event target.

When the specified event is fired, the event listener will be executed with the event passed as the first argument.

The order in which the event listeners will be executed is unspecified and should not be relied upon.

Parameters

eventTarget

EventTarget

The event target at which the listener should listen for the specified event.

eventName

string

The name of the event to listen for.

listener

EventBusListener

The event listener to register.

Returns

EventBusImpl

This event bus.

Overrides

EventBus.listen


listenAll()

listenAll(eventTarget, listener): this

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:99

Registers the provided event listener to be executed when any custom event is fired using the same implementation of the event bus and passes through the specified event target.

When the specified event is fired, the event listener will be executed with the event passed as the first argument.

The order in which the event listeners will be executed is unspecified and should not be relied upon.

Parameters

eventTarget

EventTarget

The event target at which the listener should listen for all event bus events.

listener

EventBusListener

The event listener to register.

Returns

this

This event bus.

Overrides

EventBus.listenAll


unlisten()

unlisten(eventTarget, eventName, listener): EventBusImpl

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:222

Removes the provided event listener from the set of event listeners executed when the specified custom event fired by the same implementation passes through the specified event target.

The method has no effect if the listener is not registered for the specified event at the specified event target.

Parameters

eventTarget

EventTarget

The event target at which the listener is listening for the event.

eventName

string

The name of the event listened for.

listener

EventBusListener

The event listener to deregister.

Returns

EventBusImpl

This event bus.

Overrides

EventBus.unlisten


unlistenAll()

unlistenAll(eventTarget, listener): EventBusImpl

Defined in: packages/core/src/event/EventBusImpl.ts:181

Removes the provided event listener from the set of event listeners executed when the any custom event fired by the same implementation passes through the specified event target.

The method has no effect if the listener is not registered at the specified event target.

Parameters

eventTarget

EventTarget

The event target at which the event listener listens for events.

listener

EventBusListener

The event listener to deregister.

Returns

EventBusImpl

This event bus.

Overrides

EventBus.unlistenAll
