# 🦉 Event Bus 🦉
It is sometimes useful to use a `Bus` to communicate informations between various
parts of the code. Owl has a very simple bus class, which manages subscriptions,
triggering events, and callbacks.
```js
const bus = new owl.EventBus();
bus.on("some-event", null, function(...args) {
console.log(...args);
});
bus.trigger("some-event", 1, 2, 3);
// [1,2,3] will be logged to the console
```
Its API is:
| Method | Description |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `on(eventType, owner, callback)` | add a listener |
| `off(eventType, owner)` | remove all listeners for an owner |
| `trigger(eventType, ...args)` | trigger an event |
| `clear` | remove all subscriptions |
Note that the [`Store`](store.md) is an example of an `EventBus`.
