Triggering a lua event from js?

As the title says, how do I trigger a lua event from js?

I’ve tried by using the documentation

emitNet(“eventName”, eventParam1, eventParam2);

But doesn’t clearly understand how to define that to use a lua event

It doesn’t matter if it’s an Lua, C# or JS event you can trigger them from every language

emitNet is used for triggering an event across the network - equivalent of TriggerClientEvent or TriggerServerEvent)

Example

Lua Server-side

RegisterNetEvent("myEvent")
AddEventHandler("myEvent", function (message)
    print(message)
end)

Javascript client-side

emitNet("myEvent", "This is my message that will be printed in the server console");
