equivalent of jquery's event.type for node.js EventEmitter?

Question

equivalent of jquery's event.type for node.js EventEmitter?

Does node.js have an equivalent of jquery's event.type method, i.e. something that gives the name of the event in the form of a string?

I've tried event.type but it hasn't worked for me so far...

jquery
node.js

You could add a little wrapper function that gives you the name

 EventEmitter.prototype.addNamedListener = function(event, handler){
      return this.addHandler(function(x){
          handler({ event: event, data: x });
      });
 };
