Usage,

Hello,
It is surprising that you don't study too far from me, especially since you were a minecraft idol on hf for me when I was younger. ( I go to WIU ) but that is besides the point.

I was looking at the eventmanager and I get the basic use of it, however I don't feel as if I am properly implementing it. I am used to the basic module class that has onEnabled, OnDisable, OnTick etc.

Would having something like:
emitter.on(keyPressEvent.class, e -> this.onToggle(e.getKey()));
in the constructor of the module be the proper way to use this?
So then all I would have to do is in my main class just do something like
MyModule module = new MyModule() to have it registered.

Then in ontoggle the you enable or disable, so that when you enable that is when you register all other events as needed.

(I pm'd you on hf, but saw that it has been a really long time since you last posted, figured I'd ask on here)

Hey there! Glad to see someone is actually using this. Provided you're referencing the correct instance of EventEmitter, I think that should work. I threw together a little test using this setup:

// Module.java
import me.hgal.event.EventEmitter;
public abstract class Module {

    private EventEmitter emitter;

    public Module(EventEmitter emitter) {
        this.emitter = emitter;
        this.emitter.on(KeyEvent.class, e -> this.onToggle(e.getKey()));
    }

    public abstract void onToggle(int key);
}

// SubModule.java
import me.hgal.event.EventEmitter;
public class SubModule extends Module {

    public SubModule(EventEmitter emitter) {
        super(emitter);
    }

    @Override
    public void onToggle(int key) {
        System.out.println("Key: " + key);
    }
}

// EventTester.java
@Test
public void moduleTest() {
    EventEmitter emitter = new EventEmitter();

    SubModule sub = new SubModule(emitter);

    emitter.emit(new KeyEvent(1337));
}

...and everything worked as expected. Also, there's no need to make onToggle abstract, I just thought it was pretty likely that yours was. If there's a specific error you're getting let me know and I'll check it out.

Thanks for using this!

That is exactly how I have it. I wish my school taught code on this level. I'm graduating next year and feel like all I learned is how to make my own implementation of linked lists and arraylists.

Would this be a more efficient as an event system for let's say a game? Or does it have some form of drawbacks?

Edit:
Also, would making another method emitter.on() that returns an int. so you then can do
something like: int registerEmitter = emitter.on() I know this is done with unsigned int in C++ pretty often when working with opengl.
