jQuery Tiny Pub/Sub: A really, really, REALLY tiny pub/sub implementation for jQuery.

HEY-YOU.md

This is now an actual repo:

https://github.com/cowboy/jquery-tiny-pubsub

jquery.ba-tinypubsub.js

/* jQuery Tiny Pub/Sub - v0.7 - 10/27/2011
 * http://benalman.com/

(function($) {

  var o = $({});

  $.subscribe = function() {
    o.on.apply(o, arguments);
  };

  $.unsubscribe = function() {
    o.off.apply(o, arguments);
  };

  $.publish = function() {
    o.trigger.apply(o, arguments);
  };

}(jQuery));

jquery.ba-tinypubsub.min.js

/* jQuery Tiny Pub/Sub - v0.7 - 10/27/2011
 * http://benalman.com/
 * Copyright (c) 2011 "Cowboy" Ben Alman; Licensed MIT, GPL */
(function(a){var b=a({});a.subscribe=function(){b.on.apply(b,arguments)},a.unsubscribe=function(){b.off.apply(b,arguments)},a.publish=function(){b.trigger.apply(b,arguments)}})(jQuery)

Even smaller just for sillyness

var o=$({}),s='subscribe';
$.each({on:s,off:'un'+s,trigger:'publish'},function(k,v){$[v]=function(){o[k].apply(o,arguments)};});

If we're talking about relative sizes, why use "publish/subscribe" nomenclature? Just stick with "on/off/trigger" (or my preferred "on/off/do").

UPDATE I just found out why the "pros" stick to trigger instead of do (boo <IE9).

Example: https://gist.github.com/zaus/4756518

/* jQuery Tinier Pub/Sub - v0.9b - "on/off/do version" - 2013-02-11
 * original by http://benalman.com/ 10/27/2011

(function($) {

  // "topic" holder
  var o = $({});

  // attach each alias method
  $.each({on:0,off:0,"go":'trigger'}, function(alias,method) {
    $[alias] = function(topic, callbackOrArgs) {
        o[method || alias].apply(o, arguments);
    }
  });

}(jQuery));

Is there a way i can e.preventDefault() on passed event? I ve tried it, but it doesn't work...

@connected - what's the default event you're trying to prevent? isn't this limited to the arbitrary hidden topic var o? just curious.

@kodi thanks for the requirejs module implementation!

How would you add support for wildcards in the topic name? Does it even make sense as jQuery doesn't support wildcards for event names? Or is using a standalone pub/sub library the better approach?

I know some javascript and little of jQuery (been playing with Ember, just for fun). I understand the on off methods, but I do not understand what var o = $({}); does. Can anyone please explain?

As always, google doesn't consider these braces and the $ in its search results.

@gmanish var o = $({}) simply creates a jQuery collection with an empty object {} that becomes the recipient of all the event triggers. As other comments show, the recipient could be anything like $('<b />').

I am telling you this is working really good.

Made a Typescript version of this here: https://gist.github.com/ahmed-musallam/d12a71b8a3ec8cebf52c12f81f3da154

Your article is very helpful for me. I am very impressed with your article. It gives me a lot of interesting information about quordle moviedle . Thank you very much.

I suppose I should pose that issue on a Zepto forum, but I thought someone might have a workaround here. awnings near me Toms River NJ

Zepto only makes use of the DOM-based event system so there's no way to get a real empty element to work as the global pub/sub-object. We might as well use ("").

Thank you very much for your sharing, it has helped me in my great work, I have reduced my working time a lot because of you. I have coded some games like quordle , temple run .. if you are interested please connect with me.

Very elegant and clean code! Good job Ben! I've been using it personally at both my fun projects over at Taylordle and also Quordle game

I strongly believe that react is the way to go, especially when you are planning on having 1M+ visitors per day. A clear example is Wordle.gg which is a wordle game site and they are built using React

I will try that code. Thank you. https://cincinnati-seo.com/

Can someone help please with a TypeScript version? I'm trying to implement it on nyt crossword answers

The coding was complicated but thank you for sharing it with us. I would even share this with my friend working at Snow Removal Kamloops.

I still receive notifications about this thread even when i'm in El Paso. Any update?

code is perfect i hope to see more kleinanzeigen

I had a difficult time understanding the code. I'm having an headache. If interested, please visit our website.

It allows different aspects of your application, usually called modules, to both subscribe to events other modules might publish, & publish ...
