Nerve

An asynchronous javascript micro framework for event broadcasts along routes and channels.

Original code came from @jstandish https://github.com/jstandish/nerve

He did a great job, but there are some flaws in his code and I decided to make major refactoring.

Listening to channels and routes - nerve.on()

Listening to any message on a channel

nerve.on({
     channel: 'some-channel',
     callback: function( context ) {
          // some functionality
     },
});

Listening to a specific route on a channel

nerve.on({
     channel: 'some-channel',
     route: 'some-route',
     callback: function( context ) {
          // some functionality
     }
});

Listening to a channel or route but using a different scope upon event consumption

this.outsideScopeProperty = 'you can see me';

var that = this;

nerve.on({
     channel: 'some-channel',
     route: 'some-route',
     callback: function( context ) {
          console.log( this.outsideScopeProperty === 'you can see me' );
     },
     scope: this
});

Sending events to channels and routes - nerve.send()

In the following example 'context' will be send as parameter to the callback

nerve.send({
     channel: 'some-channel',
     route: 'some-route',
     context: { someData: true }
});

Removing listeners from a channel or route - nerve.off()

Removing a listener for a channel

nerve.off({
    channel: 'some-channel'
});

Removing a listener from a specific channel's route

nerve.off({
    channel: 'some-channel',
    route: 'some-route'
});

Removing a listener from a specific channel's route that has a different scope

var that = this;

nerve.off({
    channel: 'some-channel',
    route: 'some-route',
    scope: that
});
