emitter<br></em></p><h3 id=introduction class=heading>Introduction
<a href=#introduction class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>Bait is the event emitter for Hilbish. Much like Node.js and
its <code>events</code> system, many actions in Hilbish emit events.
Unlike Node.js, Hilbish events are global. So make sure to
pick a unique name!</p><p>Usage of the Bait module consists of userstanding
event-driven architecture, but it&rsquo;s pretty simple:
If you want to act on a certain event, you can <code>catch</code> it.
You can act on events via callback functions.</p><p>Examples of this are in the Hilbish default config!
Consider this part of it:</p><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-lua data-lang=lua><span class=line><span class=ln>1</span><span class=cl><span class=n>bait.catch</span><span class=p>(</span><span class=s1>&#39;command.exit&#39;</span><span class=p>,</span> <span class=kr>function</span><span class=p>(</span><span class=n>code</span><span class=p>)</span>

this function will set the user prompt.</p><h3 id=functions class=heading>Functions
