target,
event,
payload?): Promise<void>

Emits an event to all targets matching the given target.

targetstring | EventTargetLabel of the target Window/Webview/WebviewWindow or raw EventTarget object.
eventstringEvent name. Must include only alphanumeric characters, -, /, : and _.
payload?unknownEvent payload.

Returns

listen()

function listen<T>(
event,
handler,
options?): Promise<UnlistenFn>

Listen to an emitted event to any target.

T

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
eventEventNameEvent name. Must include only alphanumeric characters, -, /, : and _.
handlerEventCallback<T>Event handler callback.
options?OptionsEvent listening options.

Returns

Promise<UnlistenFn>

A promise resolving to a function to unlisten to the event. Note that removing the listener is required if your listener goes out of scope e.g. the component is unmounted.

Example

import { listen } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
const unlisten = await listen<string>('error', (event) => {
console.log(`Got error, payload: ${event.payload}`);
});
