## <a name="EventCache">type</a> [EventCache](/src/target/event_cache.go?s=152:215#L1)
``` go
type EventCache struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}
```
An EventCache buffers events for a Fireable
All events are cached. Filtering happens on Flush







### <a name="NewEventCache">func</a> [NewEventCache](/src/target/event_cache.go?s=275:320#L5)
``` go
func NewEventCache(evsw Fireable) *EventCache
```
Create a new EventCache with an EventSwitch as backend





### <a name="EventCache.FireEvent">func</a> (\*EventCache) [FireEvent](/src/target/event_cache.go?s=534:596#L19)
``` go
func (evc *EventCache) FireEvent(event string, data EventData)
```
Cache an event to be fired upon finality.




### <a name="EventCache.Flush">func</a> (\*EventCache) [Flush](/src/target/event_cache.go?s=773:803#L26)
``` go
func (evc *EventCache) Flush()
```
Fire events by running evsw.FireEvent on all cached events. Blocks.
Clears cached events




## <a name="EventCallback">type</a> [EventCallback](/src/target/events.go?s=4182:4221#L175)
``` go
type EventCallback func(data EventData)
```









## <a name="EventData">type</a> [EventData](/src/target/events.go?s=236:287#L4)
``` go
type EventData interface {
}
```
Generic event data can be typed and registered with tendermint/go-wire
via concrete implementation of this interface










## <a name="EventSwitch">type</a> [EventSwitch](/src/target/events.go?s=553:760#L19)
``` go
type EventSwitch interface {
    Service
    Fireable

    AddListenerForEvent(listenerID, event string, cb EventCallback)
    RemoveListenerForEvent(event string, listenerID string)
    RemoveListener(listenerID string)
}
```






### <a name="NewEventSwitch">func</a> [NewEventSwitch](/src/target/events.go?s=902:935#L36)
``` go
func NewEventSwitch() EventSwitch
```




## <a name="Eventable">type</a> [Eventable](/src/target/events.go?s=371:433#L10)
``` go
type Eventable interface {
    SetEventSwitch(evsw EventSwitch)
}
```
reactors and other modules should export
this interface to become eventable










## <a name="Fireable">type</a> [Fireable](/src/target/events.go?s=483:551#L15)
``` go
type Fireable interface {
    FireEvent(event string, data EventData)
}
```
an event switch or cache implements fireable
