# Class: StreamerConnection

[StreamerConnection](../modules/StreamerConnection.md).StreamerConnection

A connection between the signalling server and a streamer connection.
This is where messages expected to be handled by the streamer come in
and where messages are sent to the streamer.

Interesting internals:
streamerId: The unique id string of this streamer.
transport: The ITransport where transport events can be subscribed to
protocol: The SignallingProtocol where signalling messages can be
subscribed to.
streaming: True when the streamer is ready to accept subscriptions.

## Constructors

### constructor

• **new StreamerConnection**(`server`, `ws`, `remoteAddress?`): [`StreamerConnection`](StreamerConnection.StreamerConnection.md)

Initializes a new connection with given and sane values. Adds listeners for the
websocket close and error and will emit a disconnected event when disconneted.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| :------ | :------ | :------ |
| `server` | [`SignallingServer`](SignallingServer.SignallingServer.md) | The signalling server object that spawned this streamer. |
| `ws` | `WebSocket` | The websocket coupled to this streamer connection. |
| `remoteAddress?` | `string` | The remote address of this connection. Only used as display. |

#### Returns

[`StreamerConnection`](StreamerConnection.StreamerConnection.md)

### emit

▸ **emit**(`eventName`, `...args`): `boolean`

Synchronously calls each of the listeners registered for the event named `eventName`, in the order they were registered, passing the supplied arguments
to each.

Returns `true` if the event had listeners, `false` otherwise.

```js
import { EventEmitter } from 'node:events';
const myEmitter = new EventEmitter();

// First listener
myEmitter.on('event', function firstListener() {
  console.log('Helloooo! first listener');
});
// Second listener
myEmitter.on('event', function secondListener(arg1, arg2) {
  console.log(`event with parameters ${arg1}, ${arg2} in second listener`);
});
// Third listener
myEmitter.on('event', function thirdListener(...args) {
  const parameters = args.join(', ');
  console.log(`event with parameters ${parameters} in third listener`);
});

console.log(myEmitter.listeners('event'));

myEmitter.emit('event', 1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

// Prints:
// [
//   [Function: firstListener],
//   [Function: secondListener],
//   [Function: thirdListener]
// ]
// Helloooo! first listener
// event with parameters 1, 2 in second listener
