Event <T>

The Event class is the superclass for all events. An event is generated when something important happens in Octo. The body of the event contains a header, a payload, and an optional user data.

Warning

It is not a good practice to create an event from this class directly, but should rather create one from one of the subclasses. This promotes a more accurate classification of events.

@example
const myEvent = new Event<string>('my payload', { key: 'value' });
EventService.getInstance().emit(myEvent);
@returns

The Event instance.
