Handling Events

The @simplito/privmx-webendpoint/extra package provides utilities for efficiently managing event subscriptions. These utilities simplify event handling, ensuring your application remains reactive and responsive.

EventManager Features

With EventManager, you can:

Start an event loop to listen for incoming events.
Create scoped event managers for specific Tools (e.g., Threads, Stores, Inboxes, connections).
Dynamically subscribe and unsubscribe from events.

Usage Examples

The example below demonstrates how to use the EventManager for Thread events.

import { EventManager } from '@simplito/privmx-webendpoint/extra';
 
// Get the event queue from the endpoint
const eventQueue = await Endpoint.getEventQueue();
 
// Start the event loop
const eventManager = EventManager.startEventLoop({
    waitEvent: eventQueue.waitEvent
});
 
// Create a scoped event manager for thread events
const threadEventManager = eventManager.getThreadEventManager(YOUR_THREAD_API);
 
// Subscribe to the 'threadCreated' event
const unsubscribeFromThreadCreated = await threadEventManager.onThreadEvent({
    event: 'threadCreated',
    callback: (payload) => {
        console.log("New thread created:", payload);
    }
});
 
// Subscribe to the 'threadNewMessage' event for a specific thread
const unsubscribeFromMessageCreated = await threadEventManager.onMessageEvent(THREAD_ID, {
    event: 'threadNewMessage',
    callback: (payload) => {
        console.log("New message in thread:", payload);
    }
});
 
// Unsubscribe when needed
await unsubscribeFromThreadCreated();
await unsubscribeFromMessageCreated();
 
// Stop the event loop when needed
eventManager.stopEventLoop();
