docker-event-emitter

Subscribe to events from a dockerode instance in a meaningful way


$3

npm i -S docker-event-emitter

$3

You can subscribe to:

* __event__: recieves all events
* __\__: recieves all events for the selected Type (container, volume, network, ...)
* __\.\__: recieves all events for the seleced Type and Action

For a complete list of all available Types and Actions check the events section of the Docker API docs.

This example is pretty much self explanatory:

``javascript
const Docker = require('dockerode');
const DockerEE = require('docker-event-emitter');

(async function main() {

// Setup a dockerode
const docker = new Docker({
socketPath: '/var/run/docker.sock',
});

// Setup the DockerEventEmitter
const events = new DockerEE(docker);

// Subscribe to events
events
.on('event', ev => {
// This will be triggered on any event
console.log(ev);
})
.on('container', ev => {
// This will be triggered on any Type='container' event
console.log(ev);
})
.on('network.connect', ev => {
// This will be triggered on any Type='network' and Action='connect' event
console.log(ev);
});

// Start recieving events
await events.start();

}).catch(err =>
console.log(err.message, err.stack) && process.exit(1)
);
