DED an interfaced publish/subscribe and multicast framework for Delphi

Delphi Event Dispatcher (for short DED) is a publish/subscribe and multicast Event framework for Cross platforms.

Features

• Easy : DelphiEventDispatch is easy to learn and use. it can override an interface of Events to be a subscribers, and publisher only call procedures of an virtual Event interface to invoke all subscribers.
• __Decouple : based interface, decouple different parts/layers of your application.
• Event Driven
• Support different delivery mode: Specifying the CallInUIThread in Dispatcher constructor, you can choose to delivery the event in the Main Thread or in Caller Thread.
• Thread Safe

Events

1. efine Interface events:

{$M+}
IDataEvent = inteface(IInterface)
['{3522E1C5-547F-4AB6-A799-5B3D3574D2FA}']
// additional information here
// procedure OnDataReceived(Sender:IDataSender; const DataBuffer:Pointer; const DataBufferSize:Integer);
// procdure OnOpen(Sender:IDataSender);
// procedure OnClose(Sender:IDataSender);
end;
...
{$M-}

2. repare publisher

type
  TDataModule1=class(TDataModule, IInterfaceObservable<IDataEvent>)
    ...
    FDataSubscribers:IInterfaceObservable<IDataEven>;
    ...
  published
    ...
    DataSubscribers:IInterfaceObservable<IDataEven> read FDataSubscribers;
    ...
  end;

procedure TDataModule1.DataModule1Create(Sender:TObject);
begin
  ...
  FDataSubscribers:=TDioInterfaceDispatcher<IDataEvent>.Create;
  ...
end;

3. repare subscribers:
   • Declare your subscribing methods:

{Subscribe}
type
  TForm1=class(TForm, IDataEvent)
    procedure OnDataReceived(Sender:IDataSender; const DataBuffer:Pointer; const DataBufferSize:Integer);
    procedure OnOpen(Sender:IDataSender);
    procedure OnClose(Sender:IDataSender);
    ...
  end;
...
procedure TForm1.OnDataReceived(Sender:IDataSender; const DataBuffer:Pointer; const DataBufferSize:Integer);
begin
    //process data
end;

procedure TForm1.OnOpen(Sender:IDataSender);
begin
end;

procedure TForm1.OnClose(Sender:IDataSender);
begin
end;

• Register your subscriber:

DataModule1.DataSubscribers.AddObserver(Form1);

3. ost events:

DataModule1.DataSubscribers.Source.OnDataReceived(aSender, aDataBuffer, aDataBufferSize);
or
DataModule1.DataSubscribers.Source.OnOpen(aSender);
or
DataModule1.DataSubscribers.Source.OnClose(aSender);

Support

• DED is a 100% ObjectPascal framework so it works on VCL and Firemonkey
• It works with Delphi2010 and major
