## What is this library used for? | ||
|
||
C++ standard library does not include a ready to use Event Handling mechanism. This library is designed to work as a | ||
singleton throughout the application and to communicate thread-safely between different code blocks via the required | ||
events with its generic structure. | ||
|
||
With the Event Hub library, you can add or remove new listeners to the events, as you are used to in other languages, | ||
listen to a single event or all events from one place and emit them with the required type of data. | ||
|
||
|
||
## How to add it to my project? | ||
|
||
This is a header only library with no external dependency. So actually, all you need is to add the libcpp-event-hub.hpp file | ||
in src folder to your project and start using it with #include. | ||
|
||
You can find usage examples in the examples folder, also find a sample CMakeLists.txt file content below. | ||
|
||
```cmake | ||
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14) | ||
project(myProject) | ||
add_executable(myProject main.cpp) | ||
target_link_libraries(myProject PRIVATE libcpp-event-hub) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## How to use? | ||
|
||
You can find a simple example of adding & deleting event listeners and emitting events to handle different types of them below. | ||
|
||
```cpp | ||
#include "libcpp-event-hub.hpp" | ||
#include <string> | ||
#include <iostream> | ||
|
||
using namespace lklibs; | ||
|
||
int main() | ||
{ | ||
// Get the singleton instance of the EventHub | ||
auto& eventHub = EventHub::getInstance(); | ||
|
||
// Add a listener for testEvent1, which sends a string value | ||
auto listener1Id = eventHub.addListener<std::string>("testEvent1", [](const std::string& eventName, const std::string& sender, const std::string& data) | ||
{ | ||
std::cout << "1. listener received, Event name: " << eventName << ", sender: " << sender << ", data: " << data << std::endl; | ||
}); | ||
|
||
// Add a listener for testEvent2, which sends an int value | ||
auto listener2Id = eventHub.addListener<int>("testEvent2", [](const std::string& eventName, const std::string& sender, const int& data) | ||
{ | ||
std::cout << "2 listener received, Event name: " << eventName << ", sender: " << sender << ", data: " << data << std::endl; | ||
}); | ||
|
||
// Add a general listener for all events with a string value | ||
auto listener3Id = eventHub.addListener<std::string>("*", [](const std::string& eventName, const std::string& sender, const std::string& data) | ||
{ | ||
std::cout << "General listener received: " << eventName << ", sender: " << sender << ", data: " << data << std::endl; | ||
}); | ||
|
||
// Emit testEvent1 with a string value, 2 listeners will receive the event (listener1 and the general listener) | ||
eventHub.emit("testEvent1", "main", std::string("Value 1")); | ||
|
||
// Emit testEvent2 with an int value, 1 listeners will receive the event (listener2), because there is no general listener for int values | ||
eventHub.emit("testEvent2", "main", 7); | ||
|
||
// Remove the first listener for testEvent1 | ||
eventHub.removeListener("testEvent1", listener1Id); | ||
|
||
// Emit testEvent1 again, only the general listener will receive the event | ||
eventHub.emit("testEvent1", "main", std::string("Value 2")); | ||
|
||
return 0; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Semantic Versioning | ||
|
||
Versioning of the library is done using conventional semantic versioning. Accordingly, | ||
in the versioning made as **MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH**; | ||
|
||
**PATCH:** Includes possible Bug&Fixes and improvements. You definitely want to get this. | ||
|
||
**MINOR:** Additional functionality added via backwards compatibility. You probably want to | ||
get this, it doesn't hurt. | ||
|
||
**MAJOR:** Additional functionality that breaks backwards compatibility. You'll need to know | ||
what's changed before you get it, and you'll probably have to make changes to your own code. | ||
If I publish something like this, I will definitely add the changes required for migration | ||
section to the documentation. | ||
