Mitt

Tiny 200b functional event emitter / pubsub.

• 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
• Great Name: somehow mitt wasn't taken

Mitt was made for the browser, but works in any JavaScript runtime. It has no dependencies and supports IE9+.

Install

This project uses node and npm. Go check them out if you don't have them locally installed.

$ npm install --save mitt

Then with a module bundler like rollup or webpack, use as you would anything else:

// using ES6 modules
import mitt from 'mitt'

// using CommonJS modules
var mitt = require('mitt')

The UMD build is also available on unpkg:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/mitt/dist/mitt.umd.js"></script>

You can find the library on window.mitt.

Usage

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

Typescript

Set "strict": true in your tsconfig.json to get improved type inference for mitt instance methods.

import mitt from 'mitt';

type Events = {
  foo: string;
  bar?: number;
};

const emitter = mitt<Events>(); // inferred as Emitter<Events>

emitter.on('foo', (e) => {}); // 'e' has inferred type 'string'

emitter.emit('foo', 42); // Error: Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'. (2345)

Alternatively, you can use the provided Emitter type:

import mitt, { Emitter } from 'mitt';

type Events = {
  foo: string;
  bar?: number;
};

const emitter: Emitter<Events> = mitt<Events>();

all

A Map of event names to registered handler functions.

on

Register an event handler for the given type.

Parameters

• type (string | symbol) Type of event to listen for, or '*' for all events
• handler Function Function to call in response to given event

off

Remove an event handler for the given type. If handler is omitted, all handlers of the given type are removed.

Parameters

• type (string | symbol) Type of event to unregister handler from, or '*'
• handler Function? Handler function to remove

emit

Invoke all handlers for the given type. If present, '*' handlers are invoked after type-matched handlers.

Note: Manually firing '*' handlers is not supported.

Parameters

• type (string | symbol) The event type to invoke
• evt Any? Any value (object is recommended and powerful), passed to each handler
