evented

Based on asEvented, the evented module provides a function that can be called on a constructor in order to make instances act as event emitters.

var evented = require('bv-ui-core/lib/evented');

function Model(config) {
  this.config = config;
};

evented.call(Model.prototype);

An event emitter provides the following methods:

• on(event, fn)
• off(event, fn)
• one(event, fn)
• once(event, fn)
• trigger(event, *data)

By default, any errors thrown from an event listener are caught and simply logged to the console. An alternate behavior can be specified by providing an event handler:

var model = new Model({});

model.setErrorHandler(function(error, trigger) {
  // The following parameters are available to this function:
  //  - error : the value that was thrown, typically an instance of Error
  //  - trigger.event : the name of the event passed to trigger()
  //  - trigger.data : an array containing the additional arguments passed to trigger()
  //  - this : the instance on which trigger() was invoked
});

// If you prefer for errors to be thrown from trigger(), then use:
model.setErrorHandler(function(error) { throw error; });
