Events

The library implements a pub/sub arhitecture and uses channels to send/receive data between the modules, framework, and the application.

The library can be access globally via the window object (window.events) or just by the name events. It also implements caching as the the calls are routed through the DataStore service.

Example (get the outputs for all buildings in a facility):

var facility_id = 1;

events.publish('get', {
  topic: 'service:facilities/id:' + facility_id + '/controller:buildings',
  caller: id + ':buildings'
});

events.subscribe(id + ':buildings', function(data) {
  var buildings = data.data;

  _.each(buildings, function(building) {
    events.publish('get', {
      topic: 'service:buildings/id:' + building.id + '/controller:outputs',
      caller: building.id + ':outputs'
    });
  });

  events.subscribe(building.id + ':outputs', function(data) {
    var outputs = data.data;

    // use outputs
  });
});
