Build Status Npm module Code Climate

An observable module for objects and arrays

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install telescope --save

To create an array observable:

makeArrayObservable = require("telescope").array;
 
var tabs = [],
    observableTabs = makeArrayObservable();
 
observableTabs.init(tabs);

observableTabs is an array that emits events on push or remove of items.

When you push or remove items to observableTabs, they are pushed or removed from tabs array, plus a "changed" event is emitted.

Pushing method create also an object observable on pushed item, that is returned from the function.

To create an object observable:

    var Observable = require("telescope").object;
 
    function ConcreteObservable(observed){
        this.init(observed);
    }
    ConcreteObservable.prototype = new Observable();
 
    var anObject = {
       field1:1,
       field2:2
    };
    var observable = new ConcreteObservable(anObject);

observable is now an object that wrap anObject and create a property for each of its property.

These property set and get values of corresponding anObject property, emitting "changed" events when property values are set.

The init pattern allow to setup derived property that are set on main property change, e.g. sum, totals, etc.
