Method description:
Emit event, passing several optional parameters to the parameter table of the event listener.
grammar:
The code copy is as follows:
emitter.emit(event, [arg1], [arg2], [...])
Receive parameters:
event event type
arg1 ~ argN parameters passed (multiple)
example:
The code copy is as follows:
var events = require('events');
var emitter = new events.EventEmitter();
emitter.on('someEvent', function(arg1, arg2){
console.log('listener1', arg1, arg2);
})
emitter.on('someEvent', function(arg1, arg2){
console.log('listener2', arg1, arg2);
})
emitter.emit('someEvent', 'byvoid', 1991);
Source code:
The code copy is as follows:
