Bare Events

Bare Events is a lightweight and minimal event emitter library for JavaScript, designed for both Node.js and browser environments. It provides a simple API for event-driven programming, allowing developers to subscribe to and emit custom events efficiently. The package is actively maintained, with version 2.8.2 being the latest stable release as of late 2025/early 2026, and new versions released as needed. As part of the Holepunch ecosystem, it emphasizes a 'bare-bones' approach, contrasting with more feature-rich alternatives by focusing solely on core event emitting functionality. It ships with built-in TypeScript type declarations, making it well-suited for modern JavaScript and TypeScript projects that prioritize minimal overhead and explicit control over event handling.
