Get the first event in a set of event emitters and event pairs,
|
||
|
|
then clean up after itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ npm install ee-first
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var first = require('ee-first')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### first(arr, listener)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Invoke `listener` on the first event from the list specified in `arr`. `arr` is
|
||
|
|
an array of arrays, with each array in the format `[ee, ...event]`. `listener`
|
||
|
|
will be called only once, the first time any of the given events are emitted. If
|
||
|
|
`error` is one of the listened events, then if that fires first, the `listener`
|
||
|
|
will be given the `err` argument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `listener` is invoked as `listener(err, ee, event, args)`, where `err` is the
|
||
|
|
first argument emitted from an `error` event, if applicable; `ee` is the event
|
||
|
|
emitter that fired; `event` is the string event name that fired; and `args` is an
|
||
|
|
array of the arguments that were emitted on the event.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var ee1 = new EventEmitter()
|
||
|
|
var ee2 = new EventEmitter()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
first([
|
||
|
|
[ee1, 'close', 'end', 'error'],
|
||
|
|
[ee2, 'error']
|
||
|
|
], function (err, ee, event, args) {
|
||
|
|
// listener invoked
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### .cancel()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The group of listeners can be cancelled before being invoked and have all the event
|
||
|
|
listeners removed from the underlying event emitters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var thunk = first([
|
||
|
|
[ee1, 'close', 'end', 'error'],
|
||
|
|
[ee2, 'error']
|
||
|
|
], function (err, ee, event, args) {
|
||
|
|
// listener invoked
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// cancel and clean up
|
||
|
|
thunk.cancel()
|
||
|
|
```
