Event Router

Event Router

A minimalistic DOM event routing system inspired by the Backbone event delegate pattern. Dependencies: zepto.js or jQuery

Basic Usage:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter({
    routes: {
        'click a': function() {},
        'click button': function() {},
        'focus input': function() {}
    }
});

Root jQuery/Zepto Element:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter({
    el: $('header'),
    routes: {
        'click a': function() {},
        'click button': function() {},
        'focus input': function() {}
    }
});

Root DOM Element:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter({
    el: document.querySelectorAll('header')[0],
    routes: {
        'click a': function() {},
        'click button': function() {},
        'focus input': function() {}
    }
});

Context Scoped Callback:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter({
    context: this,
    routes: {
        'click a': function() {},
        'click button': function() {},
        'focus input': function() {}
    }
});

Route/Unroute:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter();
eventRouter.route({
    'click a': function() {},
    'click button': function() {},
    'focus input': function() {}
});
eventRouter.unroute();

Route Replacement:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter();
eventRouter.route({
    'click a': function() {},
});
eventRouter.route({
    'click button': function() {},
    'focus input': function() {}
});

Route Append:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter();
eventRouter.route({
    'click a': function() {},
});
eventRouter.route({
    'click button': function() {},
    'focus input': function() {}
}, {append: true});

Routes as a Function:

var eventRouter = new EventRouter();
eventRouter.route(function() {
    return {
        'click a': function() {},
        'click button': function() {},
        'focus input': function() {}
    };
});
