# Evt.create(initalState?)

Evt.create() is the prefered method for instantiating an Evt as this single method allow to instantiate Evt, StatefulEvt and VoidEvt.

{% hint style="info" %}
The constructors are still useful however to avoid repeating the type of variable that are already typed e.g: `const evt: Evt<string | number> = new Evt()`
{% endhint %}

## Usage

```typescript
import { Evt, VoidEvt, StatefulEvt } from "evt";

Evt.create<string>()     ⇔     new Evt<string>()
Evt.create()             ⇔     /* An object that implement VoidEvt */
Evt.create(false)        ⇔     new StatefulEvt<boolean>(false)
```

## Why `VoidEvt` and not `Evt<void>` ?

When you instantiate an `Evt` with a void argument ( `new Evt<void>()` ), TypeScript forces you to pass `undefined` to the post method ( it does not allows to call `evt.post()` ).\
`VoidEvt` ( and respectively `VoidCtx` ) is a workaround for this annoyance.

`VoidEvt` object are instances of `Evt<void>` that you can post without passing argument.

```typescript
import { Evt } from "evt";

const evtSocketConnect = Evt.create();

evtSocketConnect.attach(() => console.log("SOCKET CONNECTED"));

evtSocketConnect.post();
//"SOCKET CONNECTED" have been printed on the console.
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.evt.land/api/evt/create.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
