(private) bindings
Storage of bound event handlers by event name.
Properties:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
bindings |
Object |

Methods
connect(context, methods) → {OO.EventEmitter}
Connect event handlers to an object.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
context |
Object | Object to call methods on when events occur |
methods |
Object.<string, string> | Object.<string, function()> | Object.<string, Array> | List of event bindings keyed by event name containing either method names, functions or arrays containing method name or function followed by a list of arguments to be passed to callback before emitted arguments. |

Returns:
- Type
- OO.EventEmitter
disconnect(context, methodsopt) → {OO.EventEmitter}
Disconnect event handlers from an object.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
context |
Object | Object to disconnect methods from |
|
methods |
Object.<string, string> | Object.<string, function()> | Object.<string, Array> |
<optional> |
List of event bindings keyed by event name. Values can be either method names, functions or arrays containing a method name. NOTE: To allow matching call sites with connect(), array values are allowed to contain the parameters as well, but only the method name is used to find bindings. It is discouraged to have multiple bindings for the same event to the same listener, but if used (and only the parameters vary), disconnecting one variation of (event name, event listener, parameters) will disconnect other variations as well. |

Returns:
- Type
- OO.EventEmitter
emit(event, …argsopt) → {boolean}
Emit an event.
All listeners for the event will be called synchronously, in an unspecified order. If any listeners throw an exception, this won't disrupt the calls to the remaining listeners; however, the exception won't be thrown until the next tick.
Listeners should avoid mutating the emitting object, as this is something of an anti-pattern which can easily result in hard-to-understand code with hidden side-effects and dependencies.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
event |
string | Type of event |
|
args |
any |
<optional> <repeatable> |
Arguments passed to the event handler |
- Source:
Returns:
Whether the event was handled by at least one listener
- Type
- boolean
emitThrow(event, …argsopt) → {boolean}
Emit an event, propagating the first exception some listener throws
All listeners for the event will be called synchronously, in an unspecified order.
Emit an event, propagating the first exception some listener throws
All listeners for the event will be called synchronously, in an unspecified order. If any listener throws an exception, this won't disrupt the calls to the remaining listeners. The first exception thrown will be propagated back to the caller; any others won't be thrown until the next tick.
Listeners should avoid mutating the emitting object, as this is something of an anti-pattern which can easily result in hard-to-understand code with hidden side-effects and dependencies.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
event |
string | Type of event |

args |
any |
<optional> <repeatable> |

off(event, methodopt, contextopt) → {OO.EventEmitter}
Remove a specific listener from a specific event.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
event |
string | Type of event to remove listener from |
||
method |
function | string |
<optional> |
Listener to remove. Must be in the same form as was passed to "on". Omit to remove all listeners. |
|
context |
Object |
<optional> |
null | Context object function or method call |

Throws:
-
Listener argument is not a function or a valid method name
- Type
- Error
Returns:
- Type
- OO.EventEmitter
on(event, method, argsopt, contextopt) → {OO.EventEmitter}
Add a listener to events of a specific event.
The listener can be a function or the string name of a method; if the latter, then the name lookup happens at the time the listener is called.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
event |
string | Type of event to listen to |
||
method |
function | string | Function or method name to call when event occurs |
||
args |
Array |
<optional> |
Arguments to pass to listener, will be prepended to emitted arguments |
|
context |
Object |
<optional> |
null | Context object for function or method call |
- Source:
Throws:
-
Listener argument is not a function or a valid method name
- Type
- Error
Returns:
- Type
- OO.EventEmitter
once(event, listener) → {OO.EventEmitter}
Add a one-time listener to a specific event.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
event |
string | Type of event to listen to |
listener |
function | Listener to call when event occurs |

Returns:
