How to publish platform event from LWC?

Question

I need to start flow from lwc, I am trying to publish a platform event from LWC to start platform event flow. Don't want to use aura flow.

can we use something like import {events} from '@salesforce/events/Event_Name__e' for publish from API doc

create platform event body: { "Printer_Model__c" : "XZO-5" }

You have two options: - Either empApi or Using Apex. The way you want is not supported in Lightning Web Component.

• The empApi component provides access to methods for subscribing to a streaming channel and listening to event messages.
• The empApi component uses a shared CometD-based Streaming API connection, enabling you to run multiple streaming apps in the browser for one user. The connection is not shared across user sessions.
• In Apex, either you can use EventBus.publish to publish platform events or you can consume the API

Also, Check Emp API Lightning Web Component
