// Reactivity on the cheap?
// The aim here is to have a ReactJS (or even Meteor) type of databinding
// without using any external libraries of frameworks. You only get the
// window object and modern JS.

// First, let's help ourselves to a cheap, shoddy imitation of jQuery:
// querySelectorAll(selector) => NodeList
var µ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document)

// Then, we wait until the DOM is actually available. This is analogous to
// $(function()...)
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
    console.log('We are ready')
    // We cheat a little and define our data binding here. We will be
    // modifying it from the console and see magic reactivity.
    window.myDataBinding = { title: 'My title', content: 'My content' }
    // Keep a reference to our heading and our paragraph
    var theH1 = µ('h1[reactive]')[0]
    var theP = µ('p[reactive]')[0]
    // And this is where the magic happens. Object.observe will
    // attach an event listener to any object (minus DOM stuff)
    // and call a provided function with the changeset. Often,
    // changesets will contain just one change but they don't
    // have to.
    Object.observe(window.myDataBinding, function (changeset) {
        // We iterate through the list of changes...
        changeset.forEach(function(change){
            // ...and update our heading and para accordingly.
            theH1.innerText = change.object.title
            theP.innerText = change.object.content
