+# Event Bus
+
+A module to provide eventing capabilities using pub/sub.
+
+## API
+
+1. `new()` - create a new `EventBus`
+
+### Structs:
+
+**EventBus:**
+
+1. `publish(name string, sender voidptr, args voidptr)` - publish an event with provided
+    Params & name
+2. `clear_all()` - clear all subscribers
+3. `has_subscriber(name string)` - check if a subscriber to an event exists
+
+**Subscriber:**
+
+1. `subscribe(name string, handler EventHandlerFn)` - subscribe to an event
+2. `subscribe_once(name string, handler EventHandlerFn)` - subscribe only once to an event
+3. `subscribe_method(name string, handler EventHandlerFn, receiver voidptr)` - subscribe to
+    an event and also set the `receiver` as a parameter.
+    Since it's not yet possible to send methods as parameters, this is a workaround.
+4. `is_subscribed(name string)` - check if we are subscribed to an event
+5. `unsubscribe(name string)` - unsubscribe from an event
+
+**Event Handler Signature:**
+
+The function given to `subscribe`, `subscribe_method` and `subscribe_once` must match this:
+
+```v oksyntax
+fn cb(receiver voidptr, args voidptr, sender voidptr) {
+}
+
+// Since V can map structs to voidptr, this also works
+struct ClickEvent {
+	x int
+	y int
+}
+
+// Example case where publisher sends ClickEvent as args.
+fn on_press(receiver voidptr, e &ClickEvent, sender voidptr) {
+	println(e.x)
+	// your code here...
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+For **usage across modules**
+[check the example](https://github.com/vlang/v/tree/master/examples/eventbus).
+
+_Note: As a general rule, you will need to **subscribe before publishing**._
+
+**main.v**
+
+```v oksyntax
+module main
+
+import eventbus
+
+// initialize it globally
+const (
+	eb = eventbus.new()
+)
+
+fn main() {
+	// get a mutable reference to the subscriber
+	mut sub := eb.subscriber
+	// subscribe to the 'error' event
+	sub.subscribe('error', on_error)
+	// start the work
+	do_work()
+}
+
+// the event handler
+fn on_error(receiver voidptr, e &Error, work &Work) {
+	println('error occured on ${work.hours}. Error: $e.message')
+}
+```
+
+**work.v**
+
+```v oksyntax
+module main
+
+import eventbus
+
+const eb = eventbus.new()
+
+struct Work {
+	hours int
+}
+
+struct AnError {
+	message string
+}
+
+fn do_work() {
+	work := Work{20}
+	// get a mutable Params instance & put some data into it
+	error := &AnError{'Error: no internet connection.'}
+	// publish the event
+	eb.publish('error', work, error)
+}
+```
+
+### Notes:
+
+1. Each `EventBus` instance has it's own registry (i.e. there is no global event registry
+    so you can't just subscribe to an event wherever you are.
+2. Each `EventBus` has a `Subscriber` instance which will need to be either exposed or you can make
+    small public helper functions specific to your module like (`onPress`, `onError`) and etc.
+3. The `eventbus` module has some helpers to ease getting/setting of Params
+    (since V doesn't support empty interfaces yet or reflection) so use them (see usage above).
+
+**The rationale behind separating Subscriber & Publisher:**
+
+This is mainly for security because if publisher & subscriber are both passed around,
+a client can easily publish events acting as the server.
+So a client should only be able to use the Subscriber methods.
