# ppost A simple central event emitter for electron, which can post messages via ipc to the main process or other windows. **Usage in renderer process** ```coffee ppost = require 'ppost' # emit in this window (ppost extends event) ppost.emit 'event', args... # emit in process of window with id ppost.toWin id, 'event', args... # emit in all processes ppost.toAll 'event', args... # emit in all other windows processes and the main process, but not in this one ppost.toOthers 'event', args... # emit in main process only ppost.toMain 'event', args... # emit in all other window processes, but not in this one ppost.toOtherWins 'event', args... # emit in all window processes, including this one, but not in main ppost.toWins 'event', args... ``` **Usage in main process** ```coffee ppost = require 'ppost' # emit in main process only ppost.toMain 'event', args... # or ppost.emit 'event', args... # emit in all processes ppost.toAll 'event', args... # emit in process of window with id ppost.toWin id, 'event', args... # emit in all window processes ppost.toAllWins 'event', args... ``` **Synchronous ipc** in window: get value synchronously from main process ```coffee result = ppost.get 'something', args... ``` in main: add a callback for the `get` method ```coffee ppost.onGet 'something', (args...) -> return something ``` <br> <br> Enjoy! <br> <br> ### License ppost is free and unencumbered public domain software.
