Events

Summary
The event pipeline allows developers to easily create real-time applications by letting them listen for important state changes and lifecycle events.
Wildcards
An event name passed to any event emitter method can contain a wildcard (the *character). A wildcard may appear as foo/*, foo/bar/*, or simply *.
* matches one sub-level.
e.g. price/* will trigger on both price/USD_ETH and price/MKR_USD but not price/MKR_USD/foo.
** matches all sub-levels.
e.g. price/** will trigger on price/USD_ETH, price/MKR_USD, and price/MKR_USD/foo.
Event Object
Triggered events will receive the object shown on the right.
<event_type> - the name of the event
<event_payload> - the new state data sent with the event
<event_sequence_number> - a sequentially increasing index
<latest_block_when_emitted> - the current block at the time of the emit
{
    type: <event_type>,
    payload: <event_payload>, /* if applicable */
    index: <event_sequence_number>,
    block: <latest_block_when_emitted>
}
