### createEventHub
Creates a pubsub event hub with `emit`, `on`, and `off` methods.
For `emit`, resolve the array of handlers based on the `event` argument and then run
each one with `Array.forEach()` by passing in the data as an argument.
For `on`, create an array for the event if it does not yet exist, then use `Array.push()` to add the handler
to the array.
For `off`, use `Array.findIndex()` to find the index of the handler in the event array and remove it using `Array.splice()`.
```js
const createEventHub = () => ({
hub: {},
emit(event, data) {
this.hub[event].forEach(handler => handler(data));
},
on(event, handler) {
if (!this.hub[event]) this.hub[event] = [];
this.hub[event].push(handler);
},
off(event, handler) {
const i = this.hub[event].findIndex(h => h === handler);
if (i > -1) this.hub[event].splice(i, 1);
}
});
```
```js
const hub = createEventHub();
const fn = data => console.log(data);
hub.on('message', fn); // subscribe a handler to listen for 'message' events
hub.emit('message', 'hello!'); // console logs 'hello!'
hub.off('message', fn); // unsubscribe our handler from 'message'
```
