NAME

Deeme - a Database-agnostic driven Event Emitter

SYNOPSIS

package Cat;
use Deeme::Obj 'Deeme';
use Deeme::Backend::Meerkat;

# app1.pl
package main;
# Subscribe to events in an application (thread, fork, whatever)
my $tiger = Cat->new(backend=> Deeme::Backend::Meerkat->new(...) ); #or you can just do Deeme->new
$tiger->on(roar => sub {
  my ($tiger, $times) = @_;
  say 'RAWR!' for 1 .. $times;
});

 ...

#then, later in another application
# app2.pl
my $tiger = Cat->new(backend=> Deeme::Backend::Meerkat->new(...));
$tiger->emit(roar => 3);

DESCRIPTION

Deeme is a database-agnostic driven event emitter base-class. Deeme allows you to define binding subs on different points in multiple applications, and execute them later, in another worker. It is handy if you have to attach subs to events that are delayed in time and must be fixed. It can act also like a jobqueue and It is strongly inspired by (and a rework of) Mojo::EventEmitter.

Have a look at Deeme::Worker for the jobqueue functionality.

EVENTS

Deeme can emit the following events.

error

$e->on(error => sub {
  my ($e, $err) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted for event errors, fatal if unhandled.

$e->on(error => sub {
  my ($e, $err) = @_;
  say "This looks bad: $err";
});

METHODS

Deeme inherits all methods from Deeme::Obj and implements the following new ones.

catch

$e = $e->catch(sub {...});

Subscribe to "error" event.

# Longer version
$e->on(error => sub {...});

emit

$e = $e->emit('foo');
$e = $e->emit('foo', 123);

Emit event.

reset

$e = $e->reset;

Delete all events on the backend.

emit_safe

$e = $e->emit_safe('foo');
$e = $e->emit_safe('foo', 123);

Emit event safely and emit "error" event on failure.

has_subscribers

my $bool = $e->has_subscribers('foo');

Check if event has subscribers.

on

my $cb = $e->on(foo => sub {...});

Subscribe to event.

$e->on(foo => sub {
  my ($e, @args) = @_;
  ...
});

once

my $cb = $e->once(foo => sub {...});

Subscribe to event and unsubscribe again after it has been emitted once.

$e->once(foo => sub {
  my ($e, @args) = @_;
  ...
});

subscribers

my $subscribers = $e->subscribers('foo');

All subscribers for event.

# Unsubscribe last subscriber
$e->unsubscribe(foo => $e->subscribers('foo')->[-1]);

unsubscribe

$e = $e->unsubscribe('foo');
$e = $e->unsubscribe(foo => $cb);
