What it is

Wisper is a lightweight Ruby library that adds Publish-Subscribe (event-driven) capabilities to any Ruby class via the Wisper::Publisher mixin. It lets objects broadcast events synchronously to multiple subscribed listeners—either concrete objects implementing event-handler methods or blocks—decoupling business logic from side effects like notifications, logging, or external service calls. Simple, modular structure: lib/wisper/ contains the core Publisher mixin (lib/wisper/publisher.rb), registration handlers (lib/wisper/registration/ for both blocks and objects), broadcasters (lib/wisper/broadcasters/ with send and logger variants), and configuration (lib/wisper/configuration.rb). Tests…

Start here

Open these first:

• lib/wisper.rb — Main entry point that loads the Wisper gem and exposes the core publish-subscribe API.
• lib/wisper/publisher.rb — Core abstraction implementing the Publisher mixin that enables objects to broadcast events to listeners.
• lib/wisper/registration/registration.rb — Manages listener registration state and orchestrates event delivery to registered subscribers.
• lib/wisper/broadcasters/send_broadcaster.rb — Default broadcaster that synchronously dispatches events to listener methods using Ruby's send.
• lib/wisper/global_listeners.rb — Handles registration of application-wide listeners that persist across multiple publisher instances.

Daily commands:

Wisper is a library, not a runnable application. Start by requiring it in a Ruby script and following the Usage section of README.md: include Wisper::Publisher in a class, call broadcast() to emit events, and subscribe…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 62% of recent commits
• Scorecard: marked unmaintained (0/10)
• No explicit environment variables or service dependencies documented in the provided data. However: (1) Block subscriptions via .on() expect the block to accept event arguments in order; (2) Listener objects must…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
