EventBus

Simple event bus implementation using ETS as an event store.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding event_bus to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:event_bus, "~> 0.2.0"}]
end

Usage

Register events in config.exs (recommended way) In your config.exs you can register events

config :event_bus, events: [:message_received, :another_event_occured]

Register events on demand

EventBus.register_event(:my_test_event_occured)

Subscribe to the 'event bus'

EventBus.subscribe(MyEventListener)

Unsubscribe from the 'event bus'

EventBus.unsubscribe(MyEventListener)

List subscribers

EventBus.subscribers()

Notify all subscribers with any type of data

EventBus.notify(:hello_received, %{message: "Hello"})
EventBus.notify(:bye_received, [user_id: 1, goal: "exit"])

Sample Listener Implementation

defmodule MyEventListener do
  ...
  alias EventBus.EventWatcher
  alias EventBus.EventStore

  def process({:hello_received, event_key} = event_shadow) do
    GenServer.cast(__MODULE__, event_shadow)
  end
  def process({:bye_received, event_key}) do
    event_data = EventStore.fetch({:bye_received, event_key})
    # do sth with event_data

    # update the watcher!
    EventWatcher.complete({__MODULE__, :bye_received, event_key})
    :ok
  end
  def process({event_type, event_key}) do
    EventWatcher.skip({__MODULE__, event_type, event_key})
    :ok
  end


  def handle_cast({:hello_received, event_key}, state) do
    event_data = EventStore.fetch({:hello_received, event_key})
    # do sth with event_data

    # update the watcher!
    EventWatcher.complete({__MODULE__, :hello_received, event_key})
    ...
    {:noreply, state}
  end

  ...
end
