Event Dispatchers

Event Dispatchers are used to send out events in the web client so that plugins can hook into these events and possibly process the event.

Example:

// on message SEND event
EventDispatcher.on("messageSend", async(payload) => {
    let {message, channelType} = payload;

    if(channelType === "discord_text"){
        let sendingResult = await sendDiscordMessage(message)
    }
})
