Mitt: tiny 200b functional event emitter / pubsub.

• Microscopic: weighs less than 200 bytes gzipped
• Useful: a wildcard "*" event type listens to all events
• Famliar: same names & ideas as Node's EventEmitter
• Functional: methods don't rely on this
• Great Name: somehow mitt wasn't taken

Mitt was made for the browser, but works in any JavaScript runtime. It has no dependencies and only uses basic language features. It probably works in Internet Explorer 5.

After installing via npm install --save mitt:

import mitt from 'mitt'

let emitter = mitt()

// listen to an event
emitter.on('foo', e => console.log('foo', e) )

// listen to all events
emitter.on('*', (type, e) => console.log(type, e) )

// fire an event
emitter.emit('foo', { a: 'b' })

// working with handler references:
function onFoo() {}
emitter.on('foo', onFoo)   // listen
emitter.off('foo', onFoo)  // unlisten
