Hi,

Not sure if it's possible, but it would be nice to be able to pass the event name as a string in both emit and dispatchEvent.

dispatcher:emit( "MyEvent", ... )

Perhaps there is some underlying reason why that isn't possible, but I always get tripped up on that one. It could be because on and addEventListener are like that. :)

If not, no big deal. Thanks for the module.

Cheers.

Hello,

First off, thank you again for EventDispatcher, it's one of my favorite modules. I was just going to put in a feature request for you to consider. On Coronium GS there is an event method called once, which basically clears/removes the event listener after one run.

object:once( "SomeEvent", function( event ) 
  print( "do something once" )
end)

And secondly, an removeAllListeners method, which could take an event as an optional search key.

obj1:on( "Event", onEvent1 )
obj2:on( "Event", onEvent2 )
--Clear all "Event" listeners
EvtD:removeAllListeners( "Event" )
--Clear ALL listeners
EvtD:removeAllListeners()

Not sure if you'd be interested in either of those, but wanted to pass it along. Thanks again.

Cheers,
Chris @coroniumgs

Hi Dave,

It would be great to have EventDispatcher in the Luarocks ecosystem.
