Events

The event-hook manages events and creates callable functions to throw or catch aura events. It encapsulate the ‘ createEventName’ function to build event-names with the this.events.namespace, this.options.instanceName and postFix of the given events.

define(['services/husky/util'], function (util) {

    'use strict';

    /**
     * Namespace for events.
     *
     * @type {string}
     */
    var eventNamespace = 'smart-content.categories.';

    return {

        defaults: {
            options: {instanceName: 'example'}
        },

        events: {
            names: {
                initialized: {postFix: 'initialized'},
                getData: {
                    postFix: 'get-data',
                    type: 'on'
                }
            },
            namespace: eventNamespace
        },

        initialize: function () {
            this.loadData().then(function (data) {
                this.data = data;

                // emit event
                this.events.initialized(data);
            });

            // getter for data
            this.events.getData(function (callback) {
                callback(this.data);
            }.bind(this));
        },

        loadData: function () {

            // ...

            return util.Deferred();
        }
    };
});

Note

The event-names will be build with this schema: <namespace>.[<instancename>.]<postFix>.

Types

The events-hook can handle different types of events.

emit - default	Uses this.sandbox.emit to emit an aura event.
on	Uses this.sandbox.on to add a event-listener to a aura event.
once	Uses this.sandbox.once to add a one-time event-listener to a aura event.
