How can I create an event that is attached to a class object?
I have to create a class that has an event that should be called at a certain time. The class looks like this and should call the event newMember when a new one is added. What works is that I attach a custom event to the window and call it which is not my goal.
Not NodeJS.
class Room {
constructor() {
this.members = {}
}
addMember(data) {
if (!this.members[data.remotesid]) {
this.members[data.socket] = data.identity
//this.dispatchEvent();
} else {
console.log('Member already in room')
}
}
}
After being advised that I need to extend my class with EventTarget. I have now worked out this working solution.
class Room extends EventTarget {
#event;
constructor() {
super();
this.members = {}
}
addMember(data) {
if (!this.members[data.remotesid]) {
this.members[data.socket] = data
this.#event = new CustomEvent("newMember", { detail: data });
this.dispatchEvent(this.#event);
} else {
console.log('Member already in room')
}
}
}
var room = new Room();
room.addEventListener("newMember", function (e) {
console.log("newMember event ", e);
});
