Event listener primitives
This crate provides a low-level primitive for building Node.js-like event listeners.
The 3 primitives are [Bag
] that is a container for Fn()
event handlers, [BagOnce
] the same for FnOnce()
event handlers and [HandlerId
] that will remove event handler from the bag on drop.
Trivial example:
use event_listener_primitives::{Bag, HandlerId};
fn main() {
let bag = Bag::default();
let handler_id = bag.add(move || {
println!("Hello")
});
bag.call_simple();
}
Close to real-world usage example:
use event_listener_primitives::{Bag, BagOnce, HandlerId};
use std::sync::Arc;
#[derive(Default)]
struct Handlers {
bar: Bag,
closed: BagOnce,
}
struct Inner {
handlers: Arc<Handlers>,
}
impl Drop for Inner {
fn drop(&mut self) {
self.handlers.closed.call_simple();
}
}
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct Foo {
inner: Arc<Inner>,
}
impl Foo {
pub fn new() -> Self {
let handlers = Arc::<Handlers>::default();
let inner = Arc::new(Inner { handlers });
Self { inner }
}
pub fn do_bar(&self) {
self.inner.handlers.bar.call_simple();
}
pub fn do_other_bar(&self) {
self.inner.handlers.bar.call(|callback| {
callback();
});
}
pub fn on_bar<F: Fn() + Send + Sync + 'static>(&self, callback: F) -> HandlerId {
self.inner.handlers.bar.add(callback)
}
pub fn on_closed<F: FnOnce() + Send + Sync + 'static>(&self, callback: F) -> HandlerId {
self.inner.handlers.closed.add(callback)
}
}
fn main() {
let foo = Foo::new();
let on_bar_handler_id = foo.on_bar(|| {
println!("On bar");
});
foo
.on_closed(|| {
println!("On closed");
})
.detach();
foo.do_bar();
drop(on_bar_handler_id);
foo.do_other_bar();
drop(foo);
println!("Done");
}
The output will be:
On bar
On closed
Done
