A simple event emitter implementation for Moebius. Provides interfaces and traits for event emitters.

Listener API

• EventEmitterInterface::on( string $eventName, callable $handler ) Subscribe to an event.

• EventEmitterInterface::off( string $eventName = null, callable $handler = null ) Unsubscribe from an event.

• EventEmitterInterface::emit( EventInterface|string $eventName, mixed ...$arguments) Emit an event. You can emit either an EventInterface object, or a named event with any number of argumnents.

Static Event Emitters

In some circumstances you want to subscribe to events from objects that don't exist yet. This is enabled by the static event emitter.

• StaticEventEmitterInterface::events(): EventEmitterInterface

This particular event emitter will take into account which class you're subscribed to, in the PHP class hierarchy. So if you subscribe to a root class, you will receive events from all extending classes that emit events as well. If you subscribe to a child class, you will not receive events emitted higher up in the class hierarchy.
