amplify.js: Easily trigger a topic publish on a UI event

gistfile1.js

amplify.publishTo = function (topic) {
  return function () { amplify.publish(topic); };
};


// Usage:
// $('#myButton').click( amplify.publishTo('myTopic') );
//
// Replaces:
// $('#myButton').click( function () { amplify.publish('myTopic') });
//
// meh. looks better on a single line, I guess. a little easier to read

// How about:
(function ($) {
  $.fn.bindTopic = function(eventType, topic) {  
    return this.each(function() {
      var $this = $(this);

      $this.bind(eventType, function () {
        amplify.publish(topic);
      });
    });
  };
})( jQuery );

// Usage:
// $('#myButton').bindTopic('click', 'myTopic');

// TODO:
// - add 'data' parameter?
