Node.js, how to avoid event namespace conflict ?

Question

In Android, intent action string is always prefixed with package name to avoid conflict. what is the pattern in node.js ?

Answer 1

Ok, I guess event is not broadcasted, it is a callback on certain object.

Answer 2

Event is not broadcasting but a msg delivered to destinated component.

argument_object = { method:'post', onComplete: function() { self.end() } }
dest_component.emit("event", argument_object);
dest_component.on('event', function(argument_object){ // }

//
// Event Architecture layer
//

1. First, everything starts from a web sock
   var sock = io.listen()
   sock.on("connection", function(client) {
   client.on("message", function(msg) { (msg='join') new Player(client) }
   client.on("disconnect", function() { }
   }

2. Each web sock client wrapped into a player, handle sock client msg with upper layer player's emit event.
   function Player(client) {
   client.on("message", this.handleMsg.bind(this);
   }
   Player.prototype.handleMsg = function(event) {
   this.emit('event', event, this);
   }

3. Game contains a set of players. Player's event handler using upper layer Game's function.

   Game = module.exports.Game = function() { }
   Game.prototype.add = function(player) {
   player.on("event", this.notify.bind(this);
   }
   Game.prototype.notify = function(msg, eventsrc) {
   for(var player in players)
   player.send(encode(msg));
   }
