Edit

createEvent(name?)

Creates an Event. In other words you create intention.
You can pass name if you want.

Arguments

  1. name? (string): Event name.

Returns

(Event): An intention to change state (see notes).

Notes

Event - it is a function which called allow to change state, see Example 1 also it could be good opportunity to data extract, see Example 2 and we discuss it next section.

Example 1

const store = createStore(0)
const addNumber = createEvent()

store.on(addNumber, (state, number) => state + number)
store.watch(state => console.log(state)) // 10 20 30

addNumber(10)
addNumber(10)
addNumber(10)

Let's talk about what happened. We created store and event (addNumber), and started to watch after store.
You should pay attention to addNumber(10). Whenever you will call addNumber(10) you may see in console how state will change.

Example 2

const extractPartOfArray = createEvent()
const array = extractPartOfArray.map(arr => arr.slice(2))

array.watch(console.log) // [3,4,5,6]
extractPartOfArray([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
