Signal

A high-performance, type-safe signal library for Luau.

Features

• Variadic Generics: Full Luau type safety for event arguments.
• O(1) Disconnect: Doubly linked list for constant-time connection removal.
• Thread Pooling: Reuse coroutines to minimize thread allocation overhead.
• Modern APIs: Supports Once, WaitTimeout, and FireDeferred.
• Memory Safe: Explicit reference clearing to prevent memory leaks.

Installation

Add to your wally.toml:

[dependencies]
Signal = "nazumahk/signal@1.0.0"

Quick Start

local Signal = require(path.to.Signal)

local signal = Signal.new<string, number>()

-- Connect

    print(msg, val)
end)

-- Fire
signal:Fire("Hello", 100)
signal:FireDeferred("World", 200)
