Wire your application with better APIs and less boilerplate than AS3 Events. Concept ------- [](#concept) - A **Signal** is essentially a mini-dispatcher specific to one event, with its own array of listeners. - A Signal gives an event a concrete membership in a class. - Listeners subscribe to real objects, not to string-based channels. - Event string constants are no longer needed. - Signals are inspired by [C# events](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_syntax#Events) and [signals/slots](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signals_and_slots) in Qt. Syntax ------ [](#syntax) ``` // with EventDispatcher button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick); // Signal equivalent; past tense is recommended button.clicked.add(onClicked); ``` I am still looking for impressions, critiques and suggestions.

Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~0 days Total 2 Last Release 3883d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/76caab2626cdfa35e2b169e284e6975c83b495f659cd1b21539d4b904f2af071?d=identicon)[jeroendelau](/maintainers/jeroendelau) --- Top Contributors [![joa](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/141269?v=4)](https://github.com/joa "joa (45 commits)")[![neilmanuell](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/249941?v=4)](https://github.com/neilmanuell "neilmanuell (13 commits)")[![jonopus](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/439554?v=4)](https://github.com/jonopus "jonopus (11 commits)")[![lukebayes](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4817?v=4)](https://github.com/lukebayes "lukebayes (11 commits)")[![sammyt](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/27435?v=4)](https://github.com/sammyt "sammyt (9 commits)")[![timkurvers](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/378235?v=4)](https://github.com/timkurvers "timkurvers (7 commits)")[![jeroendelau](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5286898?v=4)](https://github.com/jeroendelau "jeroendelau (4 commits)")[![alecmce](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/107876?v=4)](https://github.com/alecmce "alecmce (2 commits)")[![destroytoday](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/158963?v=4)](https://github.com/destroytoday "destroytoday (2 commits)")[![robertpenner](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/79827?v=4)](https://github.com/robertpenner "robertpenner (2 commits)")[![santiagopuentep](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/137173?v=4)](https://github.com/santiagopuentep "santiagopuentep (1 commits)")[![vitch](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9898?v=4)](https://github.com/vitch "vitch (1 commits)")[![ZackPierce](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/387703?v=4)](https://github.com/ZackPierce "ZackPierce (1 commits)") ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/jeroendelau-as3-signals/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/jeroendelau-as3-signals/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/jeroendelau-as3-signals) ``` PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
