## This module implements an event system that is not dependant on external
## graphical toolkits. It was originally called ``NimEE`` because 
## it was inspired by Ptyhon's PyEE module.

type
  TEventArgs* = object of TObject ## Base object for event arguments
                                  ## that are passed to callback functions.
  TEventHandler = tuple[name: string, handlers: seq[proc(e:TEventArgs)]]
  PEventHandler* = ref TEventHandler ## An eventhandler for an event.

type
  TEventEmitter = object {.pure, final.}
    s: seq[PEventHandler]
  PEventEmitter* = ref TEventEmitter ## An object that fires events and 
                                     ## holds event handlers for an object.
  EInvalidEvent* = object of EInvalidValue
