Observable-Model

Package deliver light-weight model with ability to set-up custom validation and attribute change comparator.

Usage

let Model = require('observable-model')
let model = new Model()

Features

Setting and Getting Attributes

You can set, get and remove attributes from Model.

model.set('name', value) // 'change:value' event emited

model.on('change:name', callback) // handle attribute change

model.get('name') // --> value

You can set multiple attributes by passing object.

model.set({name: 'name', value: 1})

model.get('name') // --> name
model.get('value') // --> 1

Changing attribute emits 'change:${attributeName}' event with new value as argument. Basic comparator is === operator.

Comparator

You can set custom compare function for looking for changes

model.setComp('value', function (nextValue, prevValue) {
    return nextValue.a === prevValue.a
})
  model.set('value', {
    a: 1
  }) // -> emits 'change:value' event
  model.set('value', {
    a: 1
  }) // -> doesn't emit 'change:value' event
  model.set('value', {
    a: 2
  }) // -> emit 'change:value' event

model.setComp('value', _.isEqual) // You can use functions from external libraries.

model.remComp('value') // Removes Comparator

Validation

model.set('value', 3)
model.setValidation('value', function (nextValue, prevValue) {
  return nextValue < prevValue
})
model.set('value', 4) // -> emits 'unvalid:value' event
model.set('value', 2) // value: 2
model.validate('value', 5) // returns false
model.removeValidation('value') // removes value validation
model.set('value', 4) // now you are free to set value again

Validation on failiture emits 'unvalid:${attributeName}' event with unvalid value as argument.
