little data-structure for managing event-oriented relationships
API likely to change. :)
var RefBinder = require('ref-binder');
// currently assumes you are using backbone
var model = new Backbone.Model();
var view = new Backbone.View();
// create a set of references for a view
var refs = new RefBinder(view);
// bind model events to view methods
refs.set('item1',model,{
'change': 'render',
'fetch': 'showLoader',
'sync': 'hideLoader'
});
// get a reference to the bound model object
var item1 = refs.get('item1');
// properly de-reference and unbind the model
refs.unset('item1');
// dereference everything when you are ready to destroy the view
refs.unsetAll();
