EventTrain

EventTrain is a really simple implementation of an EventTrain in Ruby. It enables you to start implementing your application using an event bus pattern without relying on some specific pub/sub service or component (like Redis, RabbitMQ). This will enable to move to such future-proof implementation just by using the same interface, thus reducing the need for refactoring or rewrites!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "event_train"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install event_train

# Subscribe and publish to the :global channel
EventTrain.subscribe do |event_name:, event_data:|
  puts "Received event named #{event_name} with data #{event_data}"
end
EventTrain.publish(event_name: :my_first_event, event_data: true)
# => "Received event named my_first_event with data true"

# To subscribe / publish to a specific channel, just add the :channel_name parameter:
EventTrain.publish(channel_name: :my_first_channel, ...)

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
