event

This library provides an implementation of an event mechanism. It allows registering functions to execute on certain events, and triggering those events, both within an addon and from a service to an addon and even between addons.

local event = require('event')

✔️ Dependency Not Required

This library does not require an explicit dependency in the manifest.xml file for your package.
