class watson.events.types.Event(name, target=None, params=None)

A base event that can be subclassed for use with an EventDispatcher.

Example:

def my_listener(event):
    print(event.params['config'])

dispatcher.add('MyEvent', my_listener)

event = Event('MyEvent')
event.params['config'] = {'some': 'config'}
dispatcher.trigger(event)

__init__(name, target=None, params=None)

Initializes the event.

Initialize the Event based on an event name. The name will be used when the event is triggered from the event dispatcher.

Parameters:

• name (string) – the name of the event
• target (mixed) – the originating target of the event
• params (dict) – the params associated with the event

name

The name of the event

params

A dictionary of parameters that can be included within an Event.

This should be used within an event listener when you wish to halt any further listeners from being triggered.

stopped
