Removing events#
Sometimes you might need to remove a registered event. This can be done in two ways.
Removing all callbacks of a specific event name#
This removes all the functions that have been registered to the event name.
def callback_1(connection, data):
print(f"Callback 1 {data}")
def callback_2(connection, data):
print(f"Callback 2 {data}")
# Remove all the callbacks of the event "test"
server.remove_all_listeners("test")
server.on("test", callback_1)
server.on("test", callback_2)
When the callback_2() is called, it will remove all the callbacks of the event “test”. So when the socket receives the event “test”, nothing will be triggered.
Removing a specific callback#
This removes a specific callback from the event name.
def callback_1(connection, data):
print(f"Callback 1 {data}")
def callback_2(connection, data):
print(f"Callback 2 {data}")
# Remove all the callbacks of the event "test"
server.remove_listener("test", callback_1)
server.on("test", callback_1)
server.on("test", callback_2)
When the callback_2() is called, it will remove the callback callback_1() of the event “test”. So when the socket receives the event “test”, only the callback_2() will be triggered.
Important
These two examples are implemented in the server but you can also use them in the client.
