Get event name in Nestjs and EventEmitter2 handler

I have the following code:

  @OnEvent("**")
  public handleEverything(parentId: number): void {
    // @ts-expect-error this.envent
    console.log(this.event)
  }

I tried to get the event name by using the this.event but it returns undefined. Is there a way to get the event name inside the handler using Nestjs and EventEmitter?

I think that is not possible. You can instead add a parameter to the payload when dispatching event and use it in the handler:

Dispatching:

this.eventEmitter.emit('eventName', { type: 'eventType', others: 'others' });

Listening:

@OnEvent("**")
public handleEverything(payload: any): void {
  if (payload.type === 'eventType') {
    // do something
  }
}
