## What it is
JS-Signals is a custom event/messaging system for JavaScript inspired by AS3-Signals, providing a Signal-based alternative to traditional DOM/custom event dispatching. It works in browsers, AMD, CommonJS, and Node.js environments.

## Use cases
- decouple components with custom events in JavaScript
- implement pub/sub messaging between modules
- replace DOM event listeners with signal-based dispatching
- run actions after multiple signals fire
- use a signals pattern in Node.js or the browser

## When to choose
- you want an AS3-Signals-style event system in JavaScript
- you need a lightweight, environment-agnostic pub/sub library
- you prefer typed signal objects over string-based event names

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively maintained event library
- you want native EventTarget or a framework's built-in event system
- you need features beyond basic signal dispatching

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: middleware, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: events, signals, pubsub, messaging, observer-pattern, as3-signals, javascript, event-driven, nodejs
