EventEmitter

EventEmitter class

The EventEmitter class that many Puppeteer classes extend.

Signature:

export declare class EventEmitter<Events extends Record<EventType, unknown>> implements CommonEventEmitter<EventsWithWildcard<Events>>

Implements: CommonEventEmitter<EventsWithWildcard<Events>>

Remarks

This allows you to listen to events that Puppeteer classes fire and act accordingly. Therefore you'll mostly use on and off to bind and unbind to event listeners.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the EventEmitter class.
