THEtheChad / perform.js
Created July 12, 2012 01:30
Used with backbone. Generates a function that uses the model passed as its context. This function can be passed a conditional parameter as its first argument to check against and a callback to be performed if that/those conditions are met.
function performOnceOn(model){
// store our model in the closure
var model = model;
return function(conditions, callback){
// internally reference params for use in nested functions
var callback = callback
, conditions = conditions
, current = model.attributes
