Standalone entry

Problem

Implement standalone entry in a production-friendly way with @vielzeug/eventit while keeping setup and cleanup explicit.

Runnable Example

The snippet below is copy-paste runnable in a TypeScript project with @vielzeug/eventit installed.

When you need the standalone bundle export, import from @vielzeug/eventit/core:

ts
import { createBus } from '@vielzeug/eventit/core';

type WorkerEvents = {
  message: { id: string; body: string };
  stop: void;
};

const bus = createBus<WorkerEvents>();
bus.on('message', (payload) => console.log(payload.body));

Expected Output

  • The example runs without type errors in a standard TypeScript setup.
  • The main flow produces the behavior described in the recipe title.

Common Pitfalls

  • Forgetting cleanup/dispose calls can leak listeners or stale state.
  • Skipping explicit typing can hide integration issues until runtime.
  • Not handling error branches makes examples harder to adapt safely.
