I am currently working on emitting and listening to specific events on different typescript classes. The first event is being listened to properly on the other class, but when I try to emit another event after a timeout of 10 seconds, it seems like the listener is no longer picking it up.
commonEmitter.ts
let events = require('events');
let em = new events.EventEmitter();
module.exports.commonEmitter = em;
network.ts
export class Network {
constructor() {
this.setConnection('connected');
setTimeout(() => {
commonEmitter.emit('connectionStatusChanged');
connection = 'disconnected';
}, 10000);
}
private setConnection(newConnection): void {
connection = newConnection
commonEmitter.emit('connectionStatusChanged');
}
public isConnected(): boolean {
return connection === 'connected';
}
}
export let connection = null;
view.ts
export class View {
private network: any;
constructor() { }
private test(){
console.log('Online? ' + this.network.isConnected());
}
public init(){
commonEmitter.on('connectionStatusChanged', this.test());
this.network = new Network();
}
Although both events are emitted in the end, only the first one is properly "listened" to. What could be causing this issue and how can I ensure they are handled in the correct order?
