 "desc": "Source Code: <a href=\"https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v12.22.12/lib/events.js\">lib/events.js</a>\nMuch of the Node.js core API is built around an idiomatic asynchronous\nevent-driven architecture in which certain kinds of objects (called \"emitters\")\nemit named events that cause <code>Function</code> objects (\"listeners\") to be called.\nFor instance: a <a href=\"net.html#net_class_net_server\"><code>net.Server</code></a> object emits an event each time a peer\nconnects to it; a <a href=\"fs.html#fs_class_fs_readstream\"><code>fs.ReadStream</code></a> emits an event when the file is opened;\na <a href=\"stream.html\">stream</a> emits an event whenever data is available to be read.\nAll objects that emit events are instances of the <code>EventEmitter</code> class. These\nobjects expose an <code>eventEmitter.on()</code> function that allows one or more\nfunctions to be attached to named events emitted by the object. Typically,\nevent names are camel-cased strings but any valid JavaScript property key\ncan be used.\nWhen the <code>EventEmitter</code> object emits an event, all of the functions attached\nto that specific event are called synchronously. Any values returned by the\ncalled listeners are ignored and will be discarded.\nThe following example shows a simple <code>EventEmitter</code> instance with a single\nlistener. The <code>eventEmitter.on()</code> method is used to register listeners, while\nthe <code>eventEmitter.emit()</code> method is used to trigger the event.\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const EventEmitter = require('events');\n\nclass MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}\n\nconst myEmitter = new MyEmitter();\nmyEmitter.on('event', () => {\n console.log('an event occurred!');\n});\nmyEmitter.emit('event');\n</code></pre>",

Keep in mind that when\nan ordinary listener function is called, the standard <code>this</code> keyword\nis intentionally set to reference the <code>EventEmitter</code> instance to which the\nlistener is attached.\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();\nmyEmitter.on('event', function(a, b) {\n console.log(a, b, this, this === myEmitter);\n // Prints:\n // a b MyEmitter {\n // domain: null,\n // _events: { event: [Function] },\n // _eventsCount: 1,\n // _maxListeners: undefined } true\n});\nmyEmitter.emit('event', 'a', 'b');\n</code></pre>\nIt is possible to use ES6 Arrow Functions as listeners, however, when doing so,\nthe <code>this</code> keyword will no longer reference the <code>EventEmitter</code> instance:\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();\nmyEmitter.on('event', (a, b) => {\n console.log(a, b, this);\n // Prints: a b {}\n});\nmyEmitter.emit('event', 'a', 'b');\n</code></pre>",

If any single listener has been added multiple times to the\nlistener array for the specified <code>eventName</code>, then <code>removeListener()</code> must be\ncalled multiple times to remove each instance.\nOnce an event has been emitted, all listeners attached to it at the\ntime of emitting will be called in order. This implies that any\n<code>removeListener()</code> or <code>removeAllListeners()</code> calls after emitting and\nbefore the last listener finishes execution will not remove them from\n<code>emit()</code> in progress. Subsequent events will behave as expected.\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();\n\nconst callbackA = () => {\n console.log('A');\n myEmitter.removeListener('event', callbackB);\n};\n\nconst callbackB = () => {\n console.log('B');\n};\n\nmyEmitter.on('event', callbackA);\n\nmyEmitter.on('event', callbackB);\n\n// callbackA removes listener callbackB but it will still be called.\n// Internal listener array at time of emit [callbackA, callbackB]\nmyEmitter.emit('event');\n// Prints:\n// A\n// B\n\n// callbackB is now removed.\n// Internal listener array [callbackA]\nmyEmitter.emit('event');\n// Prints:\n// A\n</code></pre>\nBecause listeners are managed using an internal array, calling this will\nchange the position indices of any listener registered after the listener\nbeing removed. This will not impact the order in which listeners are called,\nbut it means that any copies of the listener array as returned by\nthe <code>emitter.listeners()</code> method will need to be recreated.\nWhen a single function has been added as a handler multiple times for a single\nevent (as in the example below), <code>removeListener()</code> will remove the most\nrecently added instance. In the example the <code>once('ping')</code>\nlistener is removed:\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const ee = new EventEmitter();\n\nfunction pong() {\n console.log('pong');\n}\n\nee.on('ping', pong);\nee.once('ping', pong);\nee.removeListener('ping', pong);\n\nee.emit('ping');\nee.emit('ping');\n</code></pre>\nReturns a reference to the <code>EventEmitter</code>, so that calls can be chained."
