A small library that implements the Mediator Pattern in JavaScript. The essence of the Mediator pattern is to "Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and it lets you vary their interaction independently". Read more
Medium makes use of the Mediator pattern and the difference of the Mediator pattern over the Observer pattern is that a single object is responsible for communication. Read more

$ bower install mediumjs
$ component install pazguille/mediumjs

First, requires the mediator instance:
var medium = require('mediumjs');Now, defines a listener and subcribes to a channel:
function informal(arg1, arg2) {
alert(arg1);
alert(arg2);
});
medium.subscribe('greet', informal);Then, broadcasts a channel with some data:
medium.publish('greet', 'Hi pazguille!', 'Bye pazguille!');Adds a listener to given channel.
channel- The name of the channel you want to subscribe.listener- Listener you want to execute to given channel.
medium.subscribe('greet', informal);Execute each item in the listener collection in order with given parameters.
channel- The name of the channel you want to subscribe.
medium.publish('greet', 'Hi pazguille!', 'Bye pazguille!');Removes one or all listeners from the collection with given channel.
channel- The name of the channel you want to remove.listener(optional) - Listener you want to remove from given channel.
// removes a specific listener from the given channel
medium.remove('greet', informal);
// removes all listeners and the channel
medium.remove('greet');- Guille Paz (Front-end developer | Web standards lover)
