Event API
The Event API provides functions for working with SilverBullet's event bus system, allowing communication between different parts of the application.
Event Operations
event.listen(listener_def)
Register an event listener.
event.listen {
name = "my-event",
run = function(e)
print("Data", e.data)
end
}
event.dispatch(event_name, data, timeout)
Triggers an event on the SilverBullet event bus. Event handlers can return values, which are accumulated and returned to the caller.
Example:
-- Simple event dispatch
event.dispatch("custom.event", {message = "Hello"})
-- Event dispatch with timeout and response handling
local responses = event.dispatch_event("data.request", {id = 123}, 5000)
for _, response in ipairs(responses) do
print(response)
end
event.list_events()
Lists all events currently registered (listened to) on the SilverBullet event bus.
Example:
local events = event.list_events()
for _, event_name in ipairs(events) do
print("Registered event: " .. event_name)
end
