Listen for changes. Like an event emitter that only emits a single event type. Really tiny.
I extracted this from Redux's createStore() because I found it to be useful in other contexts. Use it where you want the most minimal event subscription implementation possible.
``js
import { createChangeEmitter } from 'change-emitter'
const emitter = createChangeEmitter()
// Called listen instead of subscribe to avoid confusion with observable spec
const unlisten = emitter.listen((...args) => {
console.log(args)
})
emitter.emit(1, 2, 3) // logs [1, 2, 3]
unlisten()
emitter.emit(4, 5, 6) // doesn't log
Here's a (partial) implementation of Redux's createStore:
`js
const createStore = (reducer, initialState) => {
let state = initialState
const emitter = createChangeEmitter()
function dispatch(action) {
state = reducer(state, action)
emitter.emit()
return action
}
function getState() {
return state
}
return {
dispatch,
getState,
subscribe: emitter.listen
}
}
