Build Status Coverage Dependency Status

Separates 'Events' support from backbone-esnext in addition to adding TyphonJS extensions found in TyphonEvents. The events dispatch functionality is useful well outside the context of Backbone and is utilized across several TyphonJS repos. It should be noted that there are no dependencies with backbone-esnext-events and it can be used independently in any project without pulling in Underscore like Backbone does.

The default trigger mechanism work justs as it does with Backbone:

TyphonEvents adds new functionality for triggering events. The following are new trigger mechanisms:

To import TyphonEvents and create a new instance:

import Events from 'backbone-esnext-events';

const eventbus = new Events();

// or extend a class to add event functionality

export default class MyThing extends Events {}

Please see backbone-esnext-eventbus for a module which provides a default main eventbus instance for ease of use across modules.
