• Supports Vue 2.0
• Compact size 3KB (1,5KB gzipped)

$ npm install vue-event-manager

CDN

Available on jsdelivr or unpkg.

Example

Try the example on jsfiddle.

new Vue({

  created() {

    // trigger event
    this.$trigger('someEvent', {foo: 'bar'});

  },

  events: {

    // event handler (priority 0)
    someEvent(event, param) { ... },

    // event handler (priority 10)
    earlyEvent: {

        // handler callback
        handler(event, param) { ... },

        // a higher priority, means earlier execution
        priority: 10

    },

    // event handler (priority -10)
    lateEvent: {

        // handler callback
        handler(event, param) { ... },

        // a lower priority, means late execution
        priority: -10

    }

  }

});

Lets see how easy you can watch global events like reactive properties! (Like in this example). Let's assume you have a logout button in any component template and want it to be handled somewhere else without these nasty $on(...) and $off(...) lines in the created and destroy hooks.

<!-- logoutButton.vue -->
<button @click="$trigger('logout:the-user')">Logout</button>

// userManager.vue
export default {

  name: 'any-other-component',

  events: {
    // the event name string binds the method name string
    'logout:the-user': 'logout'
  },

  methods: {
    // this method will be called everytime the event occurs
    logout (event, param) {
      this.$http.post('/logout')
    }
  }

}
