Event Emitters are used to create and manage our own events and trigger them accordingly. We can bind listeners and emit those events whenever required.<\/p>\n
Example :<\/p>\n
[js]
\nvar events = require(‘events’);
\nvar eventEmitter = new events.EventEmitter();
\neventEmitter.on(‘Morning’, function welcomeMessage()
\n{
\n console.log(‘Good Morning!!’);
\n});<\/p>\n
eventEmitter.on(‘Evening’, function goodByeMessage()
\n{
\n console.log(‘Good Evening!!’);
\n});<\/p>\n
if(new Date().getHours() <= 12)
\neventEmitter.emit(‘Morning’);
\nelse
\neventEmitter.emit(‘Evening’);<\/p>\n
[\/js]<\/p>\n
Here we have created an instance of EventEmitter class,provided by Events module. We have bound two events “Morning” and “Evening”.If the current hours returned is greater than or equal to 12 , event “Morning” is emitted otherwise event “Evening” is emitted.<\/p>\n
We can bind more than one function to a single event.<\/p>\n
NOTE: If you want create more than 10 listeners on a single event, you will have to make a call to\u00a0 So in this way we can create events, bind listeners to them and trigger them using event emitters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Event Emitters are used to create and manage our own events and trigger them accordingly.
