<p>A synchronous event system based on string identifiers rather than DOM elements,

<h3 id="identifiying-events-with-the-developer-tools">Identifiying Events with the Developer Tools<a class="headerlink" href="#identifiying-events-with-the-developer-tools" title="Permanent link">#</a></h3>
<p>The Developer Tools in WoltLab Suite 3.1 offer an easy option to identify existing
events that are fired while code is being executed. You can enable this watch
mode through your browser's console using <code>Devtools.toggleEventLogging()</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>&gt; Devtools.toggleEventLogging();
&lt;   Event logging enabled
&lt; [Devtools.EventLogging] Firing event: bar @ com.example.app.foo
&lt; [Devtools.EventLogging] Firing event: baz @ com.example.app.foo

<p>Adding an event listeners returns a randomly generated UUIDv4 that is used to
identify the listener. This UUID is required to remove a specific listener through
the <code>remove()</code> method.</p>
<h3 id="fireidentifier-string-action-string-data-object"><code>fire(identifier: string, action: string, data?: Object)</code><a class="headerlink" href="#fireidentifier-string-action-string-data-object" title="Permanent link">#</a></h3>
<p>Triggers an event using an optional <code>data</code> object that is passed to each listener
by reference.</p>
<h3 id="removeidentifier-string-action-string-uuid-string"><code>remove(identifier: string, action: string, uuid: string)</code><a class="headerlink" href="#removeidentifier-string-action-string-uuid-string" title="Permanent link">#</a></h3>
<p>Removes a previously registered event listener using the UUID returned by <code>add()</code>.</p>
<h3 id="removeallidentifier-string-action-string"><code>removeAll(identifier: string, action: string)</code><a class="headerlink" href="#removeallidentifier-string-action-string" title="Permanent link">#</a></h3>
<p>Removes all event listeners registered for the provided <code>identifier</code> and <code>action</code>.</p>
<h3 id="removeallbysuffixidentifier-string-suffix-string"><code>removeAllBySuffix(identifier: string, suffix: string)</code><a class="headerlink" href="#removeallbysuffixidentifier-string-suffix-string" title="Permanent link">#</a></h3>
