|
|
|
## Install
|

|
```sh
|
|
npm install unherit
|
|
```

|
|
|
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import {unherit} from 'https://esm.sh/unherit@3'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script type="module">

|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import {EventEmitter} from 'node:events'
|
|
import {unherit} from 'unherit'
|
|
|
|
// Create a private class which acts just like `EventEmitter`.
|
|
const Emitter = unherit(EventEmitter)
|
|
|
|
Emitter.prototype.defaultMaxListeners = 0
|
|
// Now, all instances of `Emitter` have `0` maximum listeners, without affecting
|
|
// other `EventEmitter`s.
|
|
|
|
new Emitter().defaultMaxListeners === 0 // => true
|
|
new EventEmitter().defaultMaxListeners === undefined // => true
|
|
new Emitter() instanceof EventEmitter // => true
|
|
```
|
|
|
