Implementation of observer pattern for Node.js

Question

I wrote an implementation of observer pattern as part of my online battle Chess game:

const observers = Symbol();

class Observer{

    constructor(){

        if(new.target === Observer){

            throw new Error('Cannot create new Observer object. Observer is supposed to be inherited only.');
        }

        /**
         * @private
         * @type {Set}
         */
        this[observers] = new Set();
    }

    on(observer, event, callback){

        this.getObservers().add({

            observer,
            event,
            callback
        });
    }

    off(observer, event){

        const observers = this.getObservers();
        const observerEntries = this.getObservers().values();

        for(let entry of observerEntries){

            if(entry.observer === observer && entry.event === event){

                observers.delete(entry);
            }
        }
    }

    notify(event, data = {}){

        const observerEntries = this.getObservers().values();

        for(let entry of observerEntries){

            if(entry.event === event){

                entry.callback.call(entry.observer, data);
            }
        }
    }

    getObservers(){

        return this[observers];
    }
}

module.exports = Observer;

The source code for the full game is in a GitHub repository. This is an early version, without many features implemented and possibly with many bugs. I have a humble request to review my code. I'm aware of several things (backend Node code is very messy). The client-side is written in MVC and Observer patterns. I'm looking for feedback (both positive and negative) and advice/guidelines.

Answer 1

The name of the Observer class is confusing: an Observer contains observers? I think that the class would make more sense if you renamed it Observable.

For the .on() and .off() methods, I think that the event parameter should come first. That would mimic the natural English expression: "on event tell observer to do action". It's also how it's done in other frameworks like jQuery.

I'm mildly annoyed by the excessive vertical spacing of the code.
