Emitter is a type exported by gox. Methods on this type are documented separately.

type Emitter struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Node.js

// Typical EventEmitter pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

// sync.Mutex + map[string][]func() or channels

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/event"

emitter := event.NewEmitter()
emitter.On("ready", func(args ...any) {
    fmt.Println("ready", args)
})

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/event"

emitter := event.NewEmitter()
emitter.On("ready", func(args ...any) {
    fmt.Println("ready", args)
})

Standard library alternative

gox wraps the Go standard library or a trusted dependency with Node-familiar naming. You can use the underlying library directly — see the package overview for escape hatches.
