Decorating a JS object with an observable pattern

Setup:

npm install observify-object --save

Observifying an object:

const observify = require('observify-object');

let foo = {foo: 'foo'};
observify(foo);

// or

let bar = observify({bar: 'bar'});

// or

let baz = {baz: 'baz'};
observify(baz);

Observing an object:

let foo = observify({bar: 'bar'});

let handler = (new_bar) => console.log(new_bar);
foo.observe('bar', handler);

foo.bar = 'changed';
// console prints 'changed'

Removing an handler:

let foo = observify({bar: 'bar'});

let handler = (new_bar) => console.log(new_bar);
foo.observe('bar', handler);

foo.unobserve('bar', handler);

foo.bar = 'changed';
// no console print

Defining properties after observifying an object:

let foo = observify({});

foo.bar = 'value';

observify(foo); // call observify again

let handler = (new_bar) => console.log(new_bar);
foo.observe('bar', handler);

foo.bar = 'changed';
// console prints 'changed'
