Role::EventEmitter - Event emitter role
  package Channel;

    my $self = shift;
    $self->emit(message => @_);
  }
  package main;
  # Subscribe to events
  my $channel_a = Channel->new;

Role::EventEmitter is a simple Role::Tiny role for event emitting objects based on Mojo::EventEmitter. This role can be applied to any hash-based object class such as those created with Class::Tiny, Moo, or Moose.
Role::EventEmitter can emit the following events.
  $e->on(error => sub {
    my ($e, $err) = @_;
    ...
  });
This is a special event for errors, it will not be emitted directly by this role but is fatal if unhandled.
  $e->on(error => sub {
    my ($e, $err) = @_;
    say "This looks bad: $err";
  });
Role::EventEmitter composes the following methods.
  $e = $e->catch(sub {...});
Subscribe to "error" event.
  # Longer version
  $e->on(error => sub {...});
  $e = $e->emit('foo');
  $e = $e->emit('foo', 123);
Emit event.
  my $bool = $e->has_subscribers('foo');
Check if event has subscribers.
  my $cb = $e->on(foo => sub {...});
Subscribe to event.
  $e->on(foo => sub {
    my ($e, @args) = @_;
    ...
  });
  my $cb = $e->once(foo => sub {...});
Subscribe to event and unsubscribe again after it has been emitted once.
  $e->once(foo => sub {
    my ($e, @args) = @_;
    ...
  });
  my $f = $e->once_f('foo');
Subscribe to event as in "once", returning a Future that will be marked complete after it has been emitted once. Requires Future to be installed.
  my $f = $e->once_f('foo')->on_done(sub {
    my ($e, @args) = @_;
    ...
  });
To unsubscribe the returned Future early, cancel it.
$f->cancel;
  my $subscribers = $e->subscribers('foo');
All subscribers for event.
  # Unsubscribe last subscriber
  $e->unsubscribe(foo => $e->subscribers('foo')->[-1]);
  # Change order of subscribers
  @{$e->subscribers('foo')} = reverse @{$e->subscribers('foo')};
  $e = $e->unsubscribe('foo');
  $e = $e->unsubscribe(foo => $cb);
Unsubscribe from event. Related Futures will also be cancelled.
You can set the "ROLE_EVENTEMITTER_DEBUG" environment variable to get some advanced diagnostics information printed to "STDERR".
ROLE_EVENTEMITTER_DEBUG=1
