PrePosterous

Small library that fires 'before' (pre) and 'after' (post) events when methods are called.

Cloning and Dependencies:

The Jasmine testing framework is used for the tests and is added as a submodule.

You can either clone this repo with the submodules in one command like so:

git clone REPO_URL --recursive

or separately

git clone REPO_URL
<cd clonedrepo>
git submodule update --init --recursive

Ender and the following dependencies are required.

aspectos bean

A pre-built ender.js (with all dependencies) is provided in the /lib directory. If you have ender installed you can re-build ender.js and the dependencies by ender refresh in the /lib directory.

Usage

Aspectos provides three methods to provide the basic functionality of firing events before, after or around any specified method.

before

var ActionObject = {
        doAction : preposterous.pre(
            function(args) {

            },
            'action' //event name to fire
        )
    },
    handlerObject = {
        handler: function(e) {

        }
    };


// listen
subscribe(ActionObject, 'beforeAction', handlerObject);
// fire
ActionObject.doAction();
// handlerObj.handler will get called receiving an event of 'beforeAction'

after

var ActionObject = {
        doAction : preposterous.post(
            function(args) {

            },
            'action' //event name to fire
        )
    },
    handlerObject = {
        handler: function(e) {

        }
    }


// listen
subscribe(ActionObject, 'action', handlerObject);
// fire
ActionObject.doAction();
// handlerObj.handler will get called receiving an event of 'action'

around

var ActionObject = {
        doAction : preposterous.prepost(
            function(args) {

            },
            'action' //event name to fire
        )
    },
    handlerObject = {
        handler: function(e) {

        }
    },
    spiedCallback = spyOn(handlerObject, 'handler').andCallThrough();

// listen
subscribe(ActionObject, 'beforeAction', spiedCallback);
subscribe(ActionObject, 'action', spiedCallback);
// fire
ActionObject.doAction();
// handlerObj.handler will get called twice first receiving an event of 'beforeAction'
// and then again receiving an event of 'action'.
