NAME

   Role::EventEmitter - Event emitter role

SYNOPSIS

     package Channel;
     use Moo;
     with 'Role::EventEmitter';

     # Emit events
     sub send_message {
       my $self = shift;
       $self->emit(message => @_);
     }

     package main;

     # Subscribe to events
     my $channel_a = Channel->new;
     $channel_a->on(message => sub {

       say "Received message: $text";
     });
     $channel_a->send_message('All is well');

DESCRIPTION

   Role::EventEmitter is a simple Role::Tiny role for event emitting
   objects based on Mojo::EventEmitter. This role can be applied to any
   hash-based object class such as those created with Class::Tiny, Moo, or
   Moose.

EVENTS

   Role::EventEmitter can emit the following events.

error

     $e->on(error => sub {
       my ($e, $err) = @_;
       ...
     });

   This is a special event for errors, it will not be emitted directly by
   this role but is fatal if unhandled.

     $e->on(error => sub {
       my ($e, $err) = @_;
       say "This looks bad: $err";
     });

METHODS

   Role::EventEmitter composes the following methods.

catch

     $e = $e->catch(sub {...});

   Subscribe to "error" event.

     # Longer version
     $e->on(error => sub {...});

emit

     $e = $e->emit('foo');
     $e = $e->emit('foo', 123);

   Emit event.

has_subscribers

     my $bool = $e->has_subscribers('foo');

   Check if event has subscribers.

on

     my $cb = $e->on(foo => sub {...});

   Subscribe to event.

     $e->on(foo => sub {
       my ($e, @args) = @_;
       ...
     });

once

     my $cb = $e->once(foo => sub {...});

   Subscribe to event and unsubscribe again after it has been emitted
   once.

     $e->once(foo => sub {
       my ($e, @args) = @_;
       ...
     });

once_f

     my $f = $e->once_f('foo');

   Subscribe to event as in "once", returning a Future that will be marked
   complete after it has been emitted once. Requires Future to be
   installed.

     my $f = $e->once_f('foo')->on_done(sub {
       my ($e, @args) = @_;
       ...
     });

   To unsubscribe the returned Future early, cancel it.

     $f->cancel;

subscribers

     my $subscribers = $e->subscribers('foo');

   All subscribers for event.

     # Unsubscribe last subscriber
     $e->unsubscribe(foo => $e->subscribers('foo')->[-1]);

     # Change order of subscribers
     @{$e->subscribers('foo')} = reverse @{$e->subscribers('foo')};

unsubscribe

     $e = $e->unsubscribe('foo');
     $e = $e->unsubscribe(foo => $cb);

   Unsubscribe from event. Related Futures will also be cancelled.

DEBUGGING

   You can set the ROLE_EVENTEMITTER_DEBUG environment variable to get
   some advanced diagnostics information printed to STDERR.
