API

.register()

Register a new object to the store. Takes a {String} action that determines the message it should respond to, and a {Function} callback that executes the response.

dispatcher.register('eventName', function(arg) {
  return arg;
});

dispatcher.register('otherEvent', function() {
  return 'hi';
)});

.dispatch()

Trigger all callbacks corresponding to {String} action and provide them an argument of {Mixed} data.

dispatcher.dispatch('eventName', 12);
// -> 12

dispatcher.dispatch('otherEvent');
// -> throw Error

dispatcher.dispatch('otherEvent', null);
// -> 'hi'
