Hi dev,to community,

I recently published a new version of my NPM package,Burns. Burns is a Node module for writing clean event-driven code and managing your application events easily. It was inspired by Laravel's events and broadcasting systems.

Here's a brief overview of how you use it:

• First, you define an event handler:

// handlers/order.js

function sendOrderShippedEmail(data)
{
    mailer.sendEmail(`Hi ${data.userName}, Your order ${data.orderId} has been shipped`);
}

• Then you attach the handler to an event:

let orderHandlers = require('./handlers/order');
burns.registerEvents({
  orderShipped: orderHandlers.sendOrderShippedEmail
});

• And then dispatch the event when you're ready!

burns.dispatch('orderShipped', {
    orderId: order.id, 
    userName: user.name
});

You can also get your event broadcast (for instance, via Pusher by specifying a few options.

Please do check it out and share your opinions. 😊

Some things I'd like feedback on:

1. Usefulness of the package. Do you see this package having any real-world applications in your work?
2. External API. Is the API clear and easy to use?
3. Documentation. Is the README clear and concise?
4. (Bonus: Code quality. Any bugs or things I should watch out for?)

Also, if you know of any tools out there that provide similar functions, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks!
