Application level event emitter?

[jfrux]

Brain storming on how we could manage app level events.
Thinking the emitter's domain code

What are the requirements for those events?

[jfrux]

I dunno... Maybe like triggering events across an entire application.
Application.on('customEvent',function() {});

Well, keep in mind that "Application" is a reserved word (for the application scope). A common way to solve this problem would be to instantiate an event handler and put it into the application scope:

application.eventHandler.on('customEvent',function() {});

Then in subsequent pages, you could do:

application.eventHandler.trigger('customEvent');

Also, don't forget to wrap that stuff with the appropriate scope-locks (cflock tag).

No, I'm specifically referring to tying into the app scope.

But it would be locked within emitter.

var e = new foundry.emitter();
e.on('application.onCustomEvent',function() {});

I don't understand. Could you explain more?

[jfrux]

I'm sorry, we're saying the same thing!
You understand fine.:D

But ya, like you said it would manage locks and race conditions.
