Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

backbone-events-standalone

Build Status

This is an extraction of the Events module of Backbone which can be used standalone (no external dependency), in the browser or in a nodejs environment.

Oh dear. Why another EventEmitter?

This project started because I appreciate the Backbone.Events interface & features while I wanted to keep using it within non-DOM environments (think a Social API Web Worker for example).

I've ported the original Backbone.Events tests to mocha & chai so I can run them within a nodejs environment and ensure the extracted API actually works as expected without the burden of setting up continuous integration of browser tests.

Installation

Bower (for browser use)

$ bower install backbone-events-standalone

NPM (node)

$ npm install backbone-events-standalone

Usage

Standard browser use

<script src="backbone-events-standalone.js"></script>
<script>
  // use BackboneEvents
</script>

Notes:

  • You may want to use the minified version stored in backbone-events-standalone.min.js.
  • Using Bower, files are usually available within bower_components/backbone-events-standalone

AMD

require(["backbone-events-standalone"], function(BackboneEvents) {
  // ...
});

In nodejs/browserify

var BackboneEvents = require("backbone-events-standalone");

API

The BackboneEvents#mixin method helps extending any object or prototype to add eventing support to it:

var myEventEmitter = BackboneEvents.mixin({});
myEventEmitter.on("foo", console.log).trigger("foo", "hello emitter");

// alternatively
function Plop() {}
BackboneEvents.mixin(Plop.prototype);
(new Plop()).on("foo", console.log).trigger("foo", "hello emitter");

BackboneEvents API & usage is the same as Backbone.Events.

Test

$ npm test
