Question about events with no listeners

Hi! First of all, thanks for this nice lib 😃 I have a question: what happens, when you call an event and there are no listeners on its slot? It would be useful to describe that in the readme.

From what I tested, the promise returned by the event call just waits indefinitely. Is this your designed behavior, so a listener can still connect while the message is awaiting on the channel? If so, a nice feature would be to add an “instant delivery” mode, configured e.g. in an optional params object to the slot<Type>() function, where the call would fail (and reject the promise) if there are no connected listeners on that slot.

Thank you 😃

This is indeed the intended behavior as described in the comments of Slot.ts, here and here. An addition to the readme to explain this behavior would be nice indeed.

Agreed that this could be a useful addition. We don’t need it right now in our current setup though so it’s not going to rank high in our backlog. But we would happily accept a pull request wink 😃

@mikkel-labelbox did you ever come up with a solution? I think I’m trying to accomplish what you’ve described here and would love any pointers (:
