=head1 NAME

Test2::Tools::Event - Tools for generating test events.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides tools for generating events quickly by bypassing the
context/hub. This is particularly useful when testing other L<Test2> packages.

=head1 EXPORTS

=over 4

=item $e = gen_event($TYPE)

=item $e = gen_event($TYPE, %FIELDS)

=item $e = gen_event 'Ok';

=item $e = gen_event Ok => ( ... )

=item $e = gen_event '+Test2::Event::Ok' => ( ... )

This will produce an event of the specified type. C<$TYPE> is assumed to be
shorthand for C<Test2::Event::$TYPE>, you can prefix C<$TYPE> with a '+' to
drop the assumption.

An L<Test2::Util::Trace> will be generated using C<caller(0)> and will be put in
the 'trace' field of your new event, unless you specified your own 'trace'
field.
