jQuery plugin for Event Driven Architecture?

Question

Are there any Event Driven Architecture jQuery plugins?

Step 1: Subscribing

Answer 1

This can easily be accomplished using a dummy jQuery node as a dispatcher:

var someModule = (function ($) {

    var dispatcher = $("
");

    function init () {
        _doSomething();
    }

    /**
        @private
    */
    function _doSomething () {
        dispatcher.triggerHandler("SOME_CUSTOM_EVENT", [{someEventProperty: 1337}]);
    }

    return {
        dispatcher: dispatcher,
        init: init
    }

}(jQuery));



var someOtherModule = (function ($) {

    function init () {
        someModule.dispatcher.bind("SOME_CUSTOM_EVENT", _handleSomeEvent)
    }

    /**
        @private
    */
    function _handleSomeEvent (e, extra) {
        console.log(extra.someEventProperty) //1337
    }

    return {
        init: init
    }

}(jQuery));

$(function () {
    someOtherModule.init();
    someModule.init();
})
