EventBus

A simple, lightweight, and thread-safe event bus implementation in Kotlin.

Features

• Lightweight: The event bus is implemented in a single file with no external dependencies.
• Thread-safe: The event bus is designed to be used in a multi-threaded environment.
• Event Inheritance: Listeners for superclass events will also receive subclass events.

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use the event bus:

Add the EventBus to your project

repositories {
    maven {
        name "quantumRepositorySnapshots"
        url "https://maven.quantumdev.org/snapshots"
    }
}
dependencies { 
    implementation "wtf.owen:eventbus:1.0-SNAPSHOT"
}

Create and register listeners Example

// Define an event
class MyEvent(val message: String) : Event()

// Create a listener
class MyListener : IListenable {
    override var enabled = true

    init {
        register<MyEvent> { event ->
            println("Received event: ${event.message}")
        }
    }
// Or save as a variable
    val onEvent = register<MyEvent> { event ->
	    println("Received event: ${event.message}")
    }
}

// Create a listener instance
val listener = MyListener()

// Post an event
EventBus.post(MyEvent("Hello, World!"))

Building and Testing

To build and test the project, you can use the following Gradle commands:

# Build the project
./gradlew build

# Run the tests
./gradlew test

Origins

This eventbus was originally developed for use with private Minecraft mods, now it's available for general use.
