Bound

a simple way do a large amount of event bindings. Heavily inspired by backbones event bindings in views.

To Install

$ component install honeinc/bound

or on node

$ npm install node-bound

Example Usage

Lets say you have a controller, that you want to consume some events from a common messaging system that uses events. Other component used in example is honeinc/emit.

var emit = require('emit'),
    bound = require('bound');

function UserController ( ) {
    bound( emit, {
        'user:save' : 'handleSave',
        'user:create' : 'handleCreate',
        'user:delete' : 'handleDelete'
    }, this );
}

UserController.prototype.handleSave = function ( ) { /* ... */ };
UserController.prototype.handleCreate = function ( ) { /* ... */ };
UserController.prototype.handleDelete = function ( ) { /* ... */ };

This will bind all the events in the given context to the right method and keep the context that is given, which is great when in the context of a constructor.

    bound( emitter, eventMethodObject, context );
// eventEmitter ^ event : method ^        ^ context of method

You can also unbind events that get bound by bound.

    bound.unbind( emitter, eventMethodObject, context );

Contributing

To contribute you will need to make sure all the test are passing. To run the test you will need mocha. Then install the dependecies.

$ npm install

Then to run the test

$ npm test
