this package is a minimal effort to have a simple synchronous/asynchronous event bus

always check the last version in case I made a mistake here

go get github.com/fmmajd/[email protected]

functions in this collection can be chain-called

import (
    "github.com/fmmajd/goevent"
    "log"
)

goevent.ByName("my_event_name").
    AddASyncListener(func(payload goevent.Payload) {
        log.Println("event async listener")  
    }).
    AddSyncListener(func(payload goevent.Payload){
        log.Println("event sync listener")
    }).
    Dispatch(goevent.CreatePayload().Set("payload_field_1", 123))

the function ByName returns the event by name, and if it does not exist, creates it

on any event object, you can call two methods, AddASyncListener for adding an async listener(DUH!) and AddSyncListener for sync listeners. both these functions return the event itself, so you can chain as many of those as you want

to dispatch an event, you need a Payload object. Payload is kind of a wrapper for a map and you can add any key, value pairs you need the listener to have access to. to create a Payload object, call CreatePayload function and chain it with any number of Set(key, value) functions.

after creating or getting the event and setting the listeners, you can dispatch the event by name anytime you wants:

e := goevent.ByName("previously_chosen_name")
p := goevent.CreatePaylod().Set("a", 1).Set("b", "B").Set("c", true)
e.Dispatch(p)
