Commando Library
Tiny abstraction over promises and command pattern to ease decoupling in Javascript project.
This project has no dependency and only add ~1.8k in amd minified version and < 700 bytes if gzipped.
What's in
- command launchers:
default
, which use a function as a command,promise
, which wraps your command in a promise
- command pool which basically create a map between event and commands
Version
AMD
- non minified:
dist/commando.amd.js
- minified version:
dist/commando.amd.min.js
Common JS
- the whole library:
dist/commonjs/commando.js
- or if you only want a part:
- command launcher:
dist/commonjs/commando/launcher
- command pool:
dist/commonjs/commando/pool
- command launcher:

Usage
Command launcher without promise support
// given this simple command
var command = function (a, b) {
console.log(a, b);
};
// Setup default launcher without promise support.
var launcher = new DefaultLauncher();
launcher.execute(command, ['foo', 'bar']);
// it will print the following message to console
foo, bar
Command launcher with promise support
// Setup launcher with Promise object.
var launcher = new PromiseLauncher({
promise: Promise
});
// Execute a command
// Command should have a constructor which conforms to this API:
// function(resolve, reject) {}
Command = function (resolve, reject) {
// keep a reference on these two resolvers
this.success = resolve;
this.error = reject;
};
Command.prototype.execute(a, b) {
// do something and calls
// e.g this function will invert a and b
ok ? this.success(b, a) : this.error('something wrong');
};
var promise = launcher.execute(Command, ['foo', 'bar']);
// Add a callback
promise.then(function (one, two) {
console.log('Success!', one, two); // will print 'Success, bar, foo'
}, function (error) {
console.warn('Error!', error); // will print 'Error! something wrong'
});
Command pool
// (Optional create a command map)
var commandMap = {
login: LoginCommand
};
// Pass some arguments
// * eventHub (required) : any object with on, off and trigger methods
// * commandMap (optional) : to register some commands
// * options: (optional): Object to set some options. Supported options:
// + launcher: String ('default', 'promise'): enable the setup of the launcher
// using the default ones provided. If you want to setup a custom launcher use
// the `withLauncher(object)` method
var pool = new CommandPool(eventHub, commandMap, options);
// register a new command for `logout` event
pool.addCommand('logout', LogoutCommand);
// register two command for `username:change` event
pool.addCommand('username:change', [
UpdateUsernameLabelCommand, // for e.g. update username label 'Hi foo'
RequestUsernameChangeCommand // send a request to some API route
]);
// remove previously registered login command
pool.delCommand('login', LoginCommand);
// remove all commands attached to event 'username:change'
pool.delCommand('username:change');
Chaining API
You can define add multiple commands at once as the addCommand
and delCommand
are chainable. Thus you can write the previous example like this:
// (Optional create a command map)
var commandMap = {
login: LoginCommand
};
// Pass some arguments
// * eventHub (required) : any object with on, off and trigger methods
// * commandMap (optional) : to register some commands
// * options: (optional): Object to set some options. Supported options:
// + launcher: String ('default', 'promise'): enable the setup of the launcher
// using the default ones provided. If you want to setup a custom launcher use
// the `withLauncher(object)` method
var pool = new CommandPool(eventHub, commandMap, options);
pool
// register a new command for `logout` event
.addCommand('logout', LogoutCommand)
// register two command for `username:change` event
.addCommand('username:change', [
UpdateUsernameLabelCommand, // for e.g. update username label 'Hi foo'
RequestUsernameChangeCommand // send a request to some API route
]);
pool
// remove previously registered login command
.delCommand('login', LoginCommand)
// remove all commands attached to event 'username:change'
.delCommand('username:change');
