nanobus
A tiny, lightweight message bus for JavaScript applications with a wildcard listener and TypeScript support.
What is nanobus?
Nanobus is a tiny message bus library for JavaScript that provides event emitter functionality with a minimal footprint. It solves the need for a lightweight alternative to Node.js's EventEmitter, especially when wildcard event listeners or smaller bundle sizes are required. The library maintains compatibility with familiar EventEmitter APIs while adding specific features like a catch-all '*' listener.
JavaScript developers building lightweight applications, libraries, or frameworks where bundle size matters, and those who need wildcard event listeners not available in native Node.js EventEmitter.
Developers choose Nanobus for its extreme minimalism—it's about one-third the size of Node.js EventEmitter—while still offering useful features like wildcard listeners and TypeScript support. It's ideal when every kilobyte counts or when you need more control over event handling patterns.
