# @ohos.commonEventManager (Common Event)

The **CommonEventManager** module provides common event capabilities, including the capabilities to publish, subscribe to, and unsubscribe from common events, as well obtaining and setting the common event result code and result data.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Modules to Import

```ts
import CommonEventManager from '@ohos.commonEventManager';
```

## Support

A system common event is an event that is published by a system service or system application and requires specific permissions to subscribe to. To publish or subscribe to this type of event, you must follow the event-specific definitions.

For details about the definitions of all system common events, see [System Common Events](./commonEventManager-definitions.md).

## CommonEventManager.publish

publish(event: string, callback: AsyncCallback\<void>): void

Publishes a common event. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Notification.CommonEvent

**Parameters**

| Name    | Type                | Mandatory| Description                  |
| -------- | -------------------- | ---- | ---------------------- |
| event    | string               | Yes  | Name of the common event to publish.|
| callback | AsyncCallback\<void> | Yes  | Callback used to return the result.|

**Error codes**
For details about the error codes, see [Event Error Codes](../errorcodes/errorcode-CommonEventService.md).
