srsly.js - Seriously sweet JavaScript - http://github.com/interworks/srsly

What you should know

srsly.js is a loose bundle of JavaScript goodness put together by the fine folks at InterWorks, Inc..

This isn't a framework. Take what you want, leave the rest for later. Dependencies are kept to a minimum and Node.js is supported when it makes sense.

It rocks, it's free - so treat yourself to some JS love, on us.

The Goods

Srsly.Event

• No dependencies.
• Works with Node.js

Provides a simple way to expose events as properties on your objects. Each event gets a real property to represent it, not just some magic string.

Example

// Require Srsly.Event, if we're on the server, and it's not already present.
if (!Srsly && (typeof Srsly !== 'undefined')) Srsly = require('Srsly.Event.js');

function Person(name) {
  // The value passed to the constructor will be used
  // as the context ('this' value) when calling the listeners.
  var onSpeak = new Srsly.Event(name);

  this.speak = function(words) {
    onSpeak.fire(words);
  }

  // Return the public 'hook' interface of the event.
  this.onSpeak = onSpeak.hook;
};

var joshua = new Person('Joshua');
joshua.onSpeak(function (words) {
  // The value of 'this' will be the event's sender,
  // which is the 'Joshua' in this case.
  console.log(this + ' says ' + words);
});
joshua.speak("Hello!"); // will show "Joshua says Hello!"

// joshua.onSpeak.unhook(func); // Remove a specific listener.
// joshua.onSpeak.clear(); // Remove all listeners.
