PubSub Patterns Fuctions

var pubsub = {}; (function(myObject) { // Storage for topics that can be broadcast // or listened to var topics = {}; // A topic identifier var subUid = -1; // Publish or broadcast events of interest // with a specific topic name and arguments // such as the data to pass along myObject.publish = function( topic, args ) { if ( !topics[topic] ) { return false; } var subscribers = topics[topic], len = subscribers ? subscribers.length : 0; while (len--) { subscribers[len].func( topic, args ); } return this; }; // Subscribe to events of interest // with a specific topic name and a // callback function, to be executed // when the topic/event is observed myObject.subscribe = function( topic, func ) { if (!topics[topic]) { topics[topic] = []; } var token = ( ++subUid ).toString(); topics[topic].push({ token: token, func: func }); return token; }; // Unsubscribe from a specific // topic, based on a tokenized reference // to the subscription myObject.unsubscribe = function( token ) { for ( var m in topics ) { if ( topics[m] ) { for ( var i = 0, j = topics[m].length; i < j; i++ ) { if ( topics[m][i].token === token ) { topics[m].splice( i, 1 ); return token; } } } } return this; }; }( pubsub ));
