backbone.listener v0.1.1

Backbone.Listener

A simple plugin that adds a new object type for easily binding to events trigged on the Backbone object similar to how you can bind to DOM events with Backbone.View.

Requirements

Backbone (tested with 1.1.2)

Example

var MyListener = Backbone.Listener.extend({

  events: {
    'bar': 'onBar',
    'foo': 'onFoo'
  },

  onBar: function(message) {
    console.log("onBar: " + message);
  },

  onFoo: function(message) {
    console.log("onFoo: " + message);
  }

});

var listener = new MyListener();

Backbone.trigger('foo', 'bar');
Backbone.trigger('bar', 'baz');
