Every time , or is invoked a new is attached to the .
Handlers can be listed using the method.
type Handler<T,U> = {
//Method for detaching the handler from the Evt, returns false if
//if invoked when the handler is no longer attached.
detach(): boolean;
//The promise returned by the attach*() and waitFor() method.
promise: Promise<U>;
/* Properties that depends on the method used to attach the handler */
//true if the handler was attached using a method containing "prepend"
//in it's name. Example: evt.$attachOncePrepend(...)
prepend: boolean;
//... if the method contained "extract"
extract: boolean;
//... if the method contained "once"
once: boolean;
//if the method was waitFor()
async: boolean;
/* Properties passed as argument to the method used to attach the handler */
//Default: ()=> true, a filter that matches all events.
op: Operator<T,U>;
//Default: undefined
ctx?: Ctx;
//Default: undefined.
timeout?: number;
//Undefined only when the handler was attached using evt.waitFor()
callback?: (transformedData: U)=> void;
};
Glossary relative to handers:
An event is said to be matched by a handler if posting it causes the callback to be invoked. In practice this is the case when the handler's operator returns true or [ value, ].
An event is said to be handled by a handler if the event data is matched or if posting it causes the handler and/or other potential handlers to be detached. In practice this is the case when the handler's operator returns "DETACH" or {DETACH: Ctx}. It is possible to test if a given event data is handled by at least one of the handlers attached to an Evt<T> by using the method.
