Jevents 1.1.3

Simple to use Utilities package for creating EventEmitters and implementing data observers.

Package name: Jevents

• Author: Jaime Loeuf
• License: MIT
• Package Desciption:
  • This package contains classes/functions to implement data_observer patterns and use of EventEmitters like those provided by NodeJS runtime and other languages.
  • This package does not have any external dependencies.
  • Currently this package contains the
    1. 'Watch' class
    2. 'wait_for_daemons' function
  • Currently lacking more documentation. For now please view test scripts for the different modules to see how to use this Package.

Below is a watered down example on how to use the Watch class. The full version is available inside the test_watch.py script in the 'test' directory.

from Jevents import Watch
from Jevents import wait_for_daemons

# Create a new data variable and store in the watchData object
sensorData = Watch(12)
# The data stored in the object can be accessed via the value property
print(sensorData.value)
# Alternatively it can also be accessed by calling itself with the help of the __repr__
print(sensorData)


# Define a callback function. All callback functions can expect a input parameter of the data watched.
def chicken(data):
	print('Chicken nuggets ', data)


# Using __iadd__ magic method to set/append an on_change callback function
sensorData.on_change += chicken

# Add a time delay to simulate real life async operations
sleep(1.4)
# Update the data in the object, this will cause all the callbacks to be called.
sensorData(1)
# Print out the updated value stored in the object.
print(sensorData)

# Add a time delay to simulate real life async operations
sleep(1.4)
# Update the data in the object. Notice nothing happens even when a new value is being set.
sensorData(5)
# Print out the updated value stored in the object.
print(sensorData)

# Call the wait function to stop main thread from ending before the daemonic threads finnish
wait_for_daemons()
