Listening for all events

See original GitHub issue

Dear,

Using this node to listen for named events works like a charm.
However I was wondering if it is also possible to listen for all events.

Have tried following without success:

eventSource.addEventListener('', callback);
eventSource.addEventListener('*', callback);

Sometimes it is not clear to users which events are being send, especially when the default ‘message’ is replace by other custom events. In that case it would be nice to start listening for all events, and then later on filter only specific events…

Kind regards, Bart Butenaers
