Vanilla pub/sub system.

global.js

events.publish('/page/load', {
	url: '/some/url/path' // any argument
});

var subscription = events.subscribe('/page/load', function(obj) {
	// Do something now that the event has occurred
});

// ...sometime later where I no longer want subscription...
subscription.remove();

pub-sub.js

var events = (function(){
  var topics = {};
  var hOP = topics.hasOwnProperty;

  return {
    subscribe: function(topic, listener) {
      // Create the topic's object if not yet created
      if(!hOP.call(topics, topic)) topics[topic] = [];

      // Add the listener to queue
      var index = topics[topic].push(listener) -1;

      // Provide handle back for removal of topic
      return {
        remove: function() {
          delete topics[topic][index];
        }
      };
    },
    publish: function(topic, info) {
      // If the topic doesn't exist, or there's no listeners in queue, just leave
      if(!hOP.call(topics, topic)) return;

      // Cycle through topics queue, fire!
      topics[topic].forEach(function(item) {
      		item(info != undefined ? info : {});
      });
    }
  };
})();
