NAME

ONE - A Node.js style AnyEvent class, using MooseX::Event

VERSION

version v0.2.0

SYNOPSIS

# General event loop:

use ONE;

ONE->start;

# Collation:

use ONE;
use ONE::Timer;

collect {
     ONE::Timer->after( 2 => sub { say "two" } );
     ONE::Timer->after( 3 => sub { say "three" } );
}; # After three seconds will have printed "two" and "three"

DESCRIPTION

EVENTS

idle

This is an AnyEvent idle watcher. It will repeatedly invoke the listener whenever the process is idle. Several thousand times per second on a moderately loaded system. Attaching a once listener to this will let you defer code until any active events have finished processing.

SIG*

You can register event listeners for any of the following events:

SIGHUP   SIGINT  SIGQUIT SIGILL  SIGTRAP SIGABRT SIGBUS    SIGFPE    SIGKILL
SIGUSR1  SIGSEGV SIGUSR2 SIGPIPE SIGALRM SIGTERM SIGSTKFLT SIGCHLD   SIGCONT
SIGSTOP  SIGTSTP SIGTTIN SIGTTOU SIGURG  SIGXCPU SIGXFSZ   SIGVTALRM SIGPROF
SIGWINCH SIGIO   SIGPWR  SIGSYS

Some of these may not actually be catchable (ie, SIGKILL), this is just the list from "kill -l" on a modern Linux system. Using one of these installs any AnyEvent signal watcher. As with AnyEvent, this will work

CLASS METHODS

our method instance() returns ONE

Return the singleton object for this class

our method loop()

Starts the main event loop. This will return when the stop method is called. If you call start with an already active loop, the previous loop will be stopped and a new one started.

our method stop()

Exits the main event loop.

HELPERS

collect { ... }

Will return after all of the events declared inside the collect block have been emitted at least once.

our method activate_event( $event )

This method is called by MooseX::Event when the first event listener for a particular event is registered. We use this to start the AE::idle or AE::signal event listeners. We wouldn't want them running when the user has no active listeners.

our method deactivate_event( $event )

This method is called by MooseX::Event when the last event listener for a particular event is removed. We use this to shutdown the AE::idle or AE::signal event listeners when the last acitve listener is removed.

our method unimport()

Removes the collect helper method
