Simple Event Bus

Yet another event bus C# implementation, for Unity. Heavily inspired on GameEventBus, by ThomasKomarnicki.

Installation

Go to the Unity Package Manager (Window > Package Manager), open the + dropdown on the top-left corner and select Add package from git URL..., and provide the following git URL:

git@github.com:Molotov-Studios/SimpleEventBus.git

Usage

To use this library properly, you should:

1. Create your custom events by implementing the SimpleEventBus.IEvent interface
2. Either create a SimpleEventBus.EventBus instance or use SimpleEventBus.EventBus.global
3. Subscribe and unsubscribe to events using its Subscribe/Unsubscribe methods
4. Publish events by using the Publish method

For example, using the static SimpleEventBus.EventBus.global default bus:

// Create an event by implementing the SimpleEventBus.IEvent interface
public class HelloEvent : SimpleEventBus.IEvent
{
    // You can use any kind of parameters and/or methods
    public HelloEvent(int firstParameter, string secondParameter) { }
}

// Example of a publisher
public class HelloPublisher : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Update()
    {
        // Check your condition
        SimpleEventBus.EventBus.global.Publish<HelloEvent>(new HelloEvent(42, "hi!"));
    }
}

// Example of a subscriber
public class HelloSubscriber : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void OnEnable()
    {
        SimpleEventBus.EventBus.global.Subscribe<HelloEvent>(OnHelloEvent);
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        SimpleEventBus.EventBus.global.Unsubscribe<HelloEvent>(OnHelloEvent);
    }

    private void OnHelloEvent(HelloEvent e)
    {
        Debug.Log("Received HelloEvent!");
    }
}

With a local SimpleEventBus.EventBus instance:

using SimpleEventBus;

// Example of a publisher
public class ClosedSystem
{
    private class HelloEvent : IEvent
    {
        public HelloEvent() { }
    }

    private void CustomMethod()
    {
        EventBus bus = new EventBus();
        bus.Subscribe<HelloEvent>(OnHelloEvent);
        bus.Publish<HelloEvent>(new HelloEvent());
    }

    private void OnHelloEvent(HelloEvent e)
    {
        // Handle event
    }
}
