Event

new Cesium.Event()
Core/Event.js 24

A generic utility class for managing subscribers for a particular event. This class is usually instantiated inside of a container class and exposed as a property for others to subscribe to.
Example:
MyObject.prototype.myListener = function(arg1, arg2) {
    this.myArg1Copy = arg1;
    this.myArg2Copy = arg2;
}

const myObjectInstance = new MyObject();
const evt = new Cesium.Event();
evt.addEventListener(MyObject.prototype.myListener, myObjectInstance);
evt.raiseEvent('1', '2');
evt.removeEventListener(MyObject.prototype.myListener);
