Advanced event system

backbone mixin for advanced event subscriptions

collection of mixins to mix a subscription mixin you'd like.

look at tests.coffee for API documentation

the idea is to specialize your subscription system in order to cut down on the execution of unnessesary code while still having great flexibility and fancy matching where you need it

pluggable event matching systems (events can be strings, objects, or anything else)

• events are anything?

  • SimplestMatcher matching for equality

• events are strings?

  • SimplestMatcher simple string matching
  • StringMatcher regex matching - todo

• events are objects?

  • ObjectMatcher checking for key existance or specific key-value pair, support for recursion into the object
  • Validator2Matcher using advanced validator2 object matching features - full boolean logic support, type matching, custom async matchers (db lookups, queries?), random matchers like min/max/length/email/regex etc

advanced subscription functions calling

• support for parallel async calling
• return values passed to the event triggering caller
• waterfall? - todo

todo

support for different event structures, not just [ string_name, some_data ] but tags, only data, and such, and maybe pluggable different matchers for different fields
