  • new NativeEventEmitter(nativeModule?: NativeModule): NativeEventEmitter

    Parameters

    • OptionalnativeModule: NativeModule

      the NativeModule implementation. This is required on IOS and will throw an invariant error if undefined.

    Returns NativeEventEmitter

Methods

addListener

  • addListener(
        eventType: string,
        listener: (event: any) => void,
        context?: Object,
    ): EmitterSubscription

    • listener: (event: any) => void

      the listener function

    • Optionalcontext: Object

      context of the listener

    Returns EmitterSubscription

emit

    emitter.addListener('someEvent', function(message) {
        console.log(message);
      });

      emitter.emit('someEvent', 'abc'); // logs 'abc'

listenerCount

  • listenerCount(eventType: string): number

    Returns the number of listeners that are currently registered for the given event.

    Parameters

    • eventType: string

      Name of the event to query

    Returns number

removeAllListeners

  • removeAllListeners(eventType: string): void

    Parameters

    • eventType: string

      name of the event whose registered listeners to remove

    Returns void
