# Mitt
> Tiny 200b functional event emitter / pubsub.
- **Microscopic:** weighs less than 200 bytes gzipped
- **Useful:** a wildcard `"*"` event type listens to all events
- **Familiar:** same names & ideas as [Node's EventEmitter](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter)
- **Functional:** methods don't rely on `this`
- **Great Name:** somehow [mitt](https://npm.im/mitt) wasn't taken
Mitt was made for the browser, but works in any JavaScript runtime. It has no dependencies and supports IE9+.

## Install
This project uses [node](http://nodejs.org) and [npm](https://npmjs.com). Go check them out if you don't have them locally installed.
```sh
$ npm install --save mitt
```
Then with a module bundler like [rollup](http://rollupjs.org/) or [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), use as you would anything else:
```javascript
// using ES6 modules
import mitt from 'mitt'
// using CommonJS modules
var mitt = require('mitt')
```
The [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd) build is also available on [unpkg](https://unpkg.com):
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/mitt/dist/mitt.umd.js"></script>
```
You can find the library on `window.mitt`.
## Usage
```js
import mitt from 'mitt'
const 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' })
// clearing all events
emitter.all.clear()
// working with handler references:
function onFoo() {}
emitter.on('foo', onFoo) // listen
emitter.off('foo', onFoo) // unlisten
```
### Typescript
```ts
import mitt from 'mitt';
const emitter: mitt.Emitter = mitt();
```
