Overview

This is a utility class that allows anything mixing it in to notify a set of listeners about interesting events.

Constant Summary

NOTHING =

We use this for defaults since nil might mean something

Instance Method Summary

#add_listener(channel_name, listener_key = NOTHING, &listener)

Adds the passed proc as a listener on the channel indicated by channel_name.
#notify_listeners(channel_name, *arguments)

Calls all the procs registered on the channel indicated by channel_name.
#remove_listener(channel_name, listener_key)

Removes the listener indicated by listener_key from the channel indicated by channel_name.
#channels private

Instance Method Details

#add_listener(channel_name, listener_key = NOTHING, &listener)

Adds the passed proc as a listener on the channel indicated by channel_name. listener_key is used to remove the listener later; if none is specified, the proc itself is used.

Whatever is used as the listener_key is returned, making it very easy to use the proc itself as the listener_key:

listener = add_listener("Channel") { ... }
remove_listener("Channel", listener)

  @channels ||= {}

end

#notify_listeners(channel_name, *arguments)

def notify_listeners(channel_name, *arguments)
  channel = channels[channel_name]
  return 0 unless (channel)
  channel.each_value { |listener| listener.call(*arguments) }
  return channel.size
end

#remove_listener(channel_name, listener_key)

Removes the listener indicated by listener_key from the channel indicated by channel_name. Returns the registered proc, or nil if none was found.
