Nodejs EventEmitter - Define scope for listener function

Question

I\'d like to have something like this work:

var Events=require(\'events\'),
    test=new Events.EventEmitter,
    scope={
        prop:true
    };

test.on(\         


        

Answer 1

No, because the this value in the listener is the event emitter object.

However what you can do is this

var scope = {
  ...
};
scope._events = test._events;
test.emit.call(scope, ...);

The reason your event handler did not get called is because all the handlers are stored in ._events so if you copy ._events over it should work.
