AsyncEvent

open class AsyncEvent<T>(val clientSide: Boolean) : Event<T> (source)

The same as Event but with additional async collectors (via a flow). This allows you to listen to the event asynchronously in a totally different CoroutineScope, and unregister via cancellation of that scope. To create an event of this type, have a look at the Event.syncAsync and Event.syncAsyncImmutable functions.

Constructors

AsyncEvent

constructor(clientSide: Boolean)

Properties

clientSide

val clientSide: Boolean

flow

open val flow: <Error class: unknown class>

The internal flow to which events are emitted. It has no buffer, so new calls to MutableSharedFlow.emit will suspend if the listeners have not finished handling the previous event.

invokeScope

val invokeScope: <Error class: unknown class>

The scope used for emitting events without blocking the current execution.

listenersByPriority

val listenersByPriority: List<MutableList<(MutableEventScope, T) -> Unit>>

The listeners added by listen, sorted by EventPriority via the index in the outer list.

monitorListeners

val monitorListeners: MutableList<(T) -> Unit>

The listeners added by monitor.

Functions

collect

suspend fun collect(collector: FlowCollector<T>)

Calls SharedFlow.collect on the underlying flow. This way the collector receives all events. Note that the thread and / or CoroutineScope you call this in decides on which thread you handle the events.

collectInScope

fun collectInScope(collector: FlowCollector<T>): Job

collectInScopeSync

fun collectInScopeSync(collector: FlowCollector<T>): Job

invoke

open override fun invoke(instance: T)

Invokes this event. Calling this function will trigger all listeners and collectors.

listen

fun listen(priority: EventPriority = EventPriority.NORMAL, register: Boolean = true, callback: (MutableEventScope, event: T) -> Unit): ListenerInstance<*>

Listens to this event. The callback will always be called synchronously. This function is synchronized, so it may be called from any thread.

monitor

fun monitor(register: Boolean = true, callback: (T) -> Unit): ListenerInstance<*>

Monitors this event. This is the same as listen, but you do not have access to the mutable functions of the event scope. This callback will be executed after EventPriority.LAST, therefore monitor sees the final state.
