$ component install bredele/post

browserify (nodejs):

$ npm install post

standalone:

<script src="post.js"></script>

Post support all mainstream browsers and IE.

API

Post inherits from 'Emitter' and can be used as a regular emitter or post messages safely to a cross origin.

Post(obj)

Post instance:

var Post = require('post');
var post = new Post();
post.emit('something');

.emit(event, ...)

Emit an event with variable option args.

Send a message locally:

post.emit('message');

Send a message to a cross origin (default is window origin):

post.emit('message')(); //same window origin

post.emit('message')('http://otherdomain.org'); //cross origin

.on(event, fn)

Register and execute handler fn when event is received from same or cross origin.

post.on('message', function() {
  //do something
});

.off(event, fn)

• Pass event and fn to remove a listener.
• Pass event to remove all listeners on that event.
• Pass nothing to remove all listeners on all events.

.dispose()

Memory safety (remove cross origin listeners).
