Detailed Description

Basic dispatcher implementation.

A dispatcher can be used either to trigger an immediate event or to enqueue events to be published all together once per tick.
Listeners are provided in the form of member functions. For each event of type Event, listeners are such that they can be invoked with an argument of type const Event &, no matter what the return type is.

The types of the instances are Class &. Users must guarantee that the lifetimes of the objects overcome the one of the dispatcher itself to avoid crashes.

Member Typedef Documentation

sink_type

template<typename Event >

using entt::dispatcher::sink_type = typename signal_wrapper<Event>::sink_type

Type of sink for the given event.

Member Function Documentation

discard()

template<typename... Event>

void entt::dispatcher::discard ( )

inline

Discards all the events queued so far.

If no types are provided, the dispatcher will clear all the existing pools.

Template Parameters

Event

Type of events to discard.

enqueue() [1/2]

template<typename Event , typename... Args>

void entt::dispatcher::enqueue ( Args &&...  args )

inline

Enqueues an event of the given type.

An event of the given type is queued. No listener is invoked. Use the update member function to notify listeners when ready.

Template Parameters

Event	Type of event to enqueue.
Args	Types of arguments to use to construct the event.

Parameters

args	Arguments to use to construct the event.

enqueue() [2/2]

template<typename Event >

void entt::dispatcher::enqueue ( Event &&  event )

inline

Enqueues an event of the given type.

An event of the given type is queued. No listener is invoked. Use the update member function to notify listeners when ready.

Template Parameters

Event

Type of event to enqueue.

Parameters

event

An instance of the given type of event.

sink()

template<typename Event >

sink_type<Event> entt::dispatcher::sink ( )

inline

Returns a sink object for the given event.

A sink is an opaque object used to connect listeners to events.

The function type for a listener is:

void(const Event &);

The order of invocation of the listeners isn't guaranteed.

sink

Template Parameters

Event

Type of event of which to get the sink.

Returns

A temporary sink object.

trigger() [1/2]

template<typename Event , typename... Args>

void entt::dispatcher::trigger ( Args &&...  args )

inline

Triggers an immediate event of the given type.

All the listeners registered for the given type are immediately notified. The event is discarded after the execution.

Template Parameters

Event	Type of event to trigger.
Args	Types of arguments to use to construct the event.

Parameters

args	Arguments to use to construct the event.

trigger() [2/2]

template<typename Event >

void entt::dispatcher::trigger ( Event &&  event )

inline

Triggers an immediate event of the given type.

All the listeners registered for the given type are immediately notified. The event is discarded after the execution.

Template Parameters

Event

Type of event to trigger.

Parameters

event

An instance of the given type of event.

update() [1/2]

template<typename Event >

void entt::dispatcher::update ( )

inline

Delivers all the pending events of the given type.

This method is blocking and it doesn't return until all the events are delivered to the registered listeners. It's responsibility of the users to reduce at a minimum the time spent in the bodies of the listeners.

Template Parameters

Event

Type of events to send.

update() [2/2]

void entt::dispatcher::update ( ) const

inline

Delivers all the pending events.

This method is blocking and it doesn't return until all the events are delivered to the registered listeners. It's responsibility of the users to reduce at a minimum the time spent in the bodies of the listeners.
