Parameters

inherited
bind( bindProperties ) → MultiBindChain
Binds observable properties to other objects implementing the Observable interface.

Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of property bindings with some additional examples.

Consider two objects: a button and an associated command (both Observable).

A simple property binding could be as follows:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled' );
```
or even shorter:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );
```
which works in the following way:
- button.isEnabled instantly equals command.isEnabled,
- whenever command.isEnabled changes, button.isEnabled will immediately reflect its value.
Note: To release the binding, use unbind.

You can also "rename" the property in the binding by specifying the new name in the to() chain:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isWorking' );
```
It is possible to bind more than one property at a time to shorten the code:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled', 'value' ).to( command );
```
which corresponds to:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command );
button.bind( 'value' ).to( command );
```
The binding can include more than one observable, combining multiple data sources in a custom callback:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'isEnabled', ui, 'isVisible',
	( isCommandEnabled, isUIVisible ) => isCommandEnabled && isUIVisible );
```
Using a custom callback allows processing the value before passing it to the target property:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).to( command, 'value', value => value === 'heading1' );
```
It is also possible to bind to the same property in an array of observables. To bind a button to multiple commands (also Observables) so that each and every one of them must be enabled for the button to become enabled, use the following code:
```
button.bind( 'isEnabled' ).toMany( [ commandA, commandB, commandC ], 'isEnabled',
	( isAEnabled, isBEnabled, isCEnabled ) => isAEnabled && isBEnabled && isCEnabled );
```
Parameters

bindProperties : Array<'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'destroy' | 'context' | 'init' | 'archivedThreads'>

Type parameters

K

Parameters

bindProperty : K

Observable property that will be bound to other observable(s).

Returns

SingleBindChain<K, CommentsArchive[ K ]>

The bind chain with the to() and toMany() methods.
inherited
decorate( methodName ) → void
Turns the given methods of this object into event-based ones. This means that the new method will fire an event (named after the method) and the original action will be plugged as a listener to that event.

Read more in the dedicated guide covering the topic of decorating methods with some additional examples.

Decorating the method does not change its behavior (it only adds an event), but it allows to modify it later on by listening to the method's event.

For example, to cancel the method execution the event can be stopped:
```
class Foo extends ObservableMixin() {
	constructor() {
		super();
		this.decorate( 'method' );
	}

	method() {
		console.log( 'called!' );
	}
}

const foo = new Foo();
foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => {
	evt.stop();
}, { priority: 'high' } );

foo.method(); // Nothing is logged.
```
Note: The high priority listener has been used to execute this particular callback before the one which calls the original method (which uses the "normal" priority).

It is also possible to change the returned value:
```
foo.on( 'method', ( evt ) => {
	evt.return = 'Foo!';
} );

foo.method(); // -> 'Foo'
```
Finally, it is possible to access and modify the arguments the method is called with:
```
method( a, b ) {
	console.log( `${ a }, ${ b }`  );
}

// ...

foo.on( 'method', ( evt, args ) => {
	args[ 0 ] = 3;

	console.log( args[ 1 ] ); // -> 2
}, { priority: 'high' } );

foo.method( 1, 2 ); // -> '3, 2'
```
Parameters

methodName : 'off' | 'on' | 'once' | 'listenTo' | 'stopListening' | 'fire' | 'delegate' | 'stopDelegating' | 'set' | 'bind' | 'unbind' | 'decorate' | 'destroy' | 'context' | 'init' | 'archivedThreads'

Name of the method to decorate.

Returns

void
inherited
delegate( events ) → EmitterMixinDelegateChain
Delegates selected events to another Emitter. For instance:
```
emitterA.delegate( 'eventX' ).to( emitterB );
emitterA.delegate( 'eventX', 'eventY' ).to( emitterC );
```
then eventX is delegated (fired by) emitterB and emitterC along with data:
```
emitterA.fire( 'eventX', data );
```
and eventY is delegated (fired by) emitterC along with data:
```
emitterA.fire( 'eventY', data );
```
Parameters

events : Array<string>

Event names that will be delegated to another emitter.

Returns

EmitterMixinDelegateChain
inherited
destroy() → void

Destroys the plugin.

Note: This method is optional. A plugin instance does not need to have it defined.

Returns

void
inherited
fire( eventOrInfo, args ) → GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]

Fires an event, executing all callbacks registered for it.

The first parameter passed to callbacks is an EventInfo object, followed by the optional args provided in the fire() method call.

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type describing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

eventOrInfo : GetNameOrEventInfo<TEvent>

The name of the event or EventInfo object if event is delegated.

args : TEvent[ 'args' ]

Additional arguments to be passed to the callbacks.

Returns

GetEventInfo<TEvent>[ 'return' ]

By default the method returns undefined. However, the return value can be changed by listeners through modification of the evt.return's property (the event info is the first param of every callback).
init() → void

Returns

void
inherited
listenTo( emitter, event, callback, [ options ] ) → void
Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired in a specific (emitter) object.

Events can be grouped in namespaces using :. When namespaced event is fired, it additionally fires all callbacks for that namespace.
```
// myEmitter.on( ... ) is a shorthand for myEmitter.listenTo( myEmitter, ... ).
myEmitter.on( 'myGroup', genericCallback );
myEmitter.on( 'myGroup:myEvent', specificCallback );

// genericCallback is fired.
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup' );
// both genericCallback and specificCallback are fired.
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:myEvent' );
// genericCallback is fired even though there are no callbacks for "foo".
myEmitter.fire( 'myGroup:foo' );
```
An event callback can stop the event and set the return value of the fire method.

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type describing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

emitter : Emitter

The object that fires the event.

event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

The name of the event.

callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

Additional options.

Returns

void
inherited
off( event, callback ) → void

Stops executing the callback on the given event. Shorthand for this.stopListening( this, event, callback ).

Parameters

event : string

The name of the event.

callback : Function

The function to stop being called.

Returns

void
inherited
on( event, callback, [ options ] ) → void

Registers a callback function to be executed when an event is fired.

Shorthand for this.listenTo( this, event, callback, options ) (it makes the emitter listen on itself).

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

The name of the event.

callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

Additional options.

Returns

void
inherited
once( event, callback, [ options ] ) → void

Registers a callback function to be executed on the next time the event is fired only. This is similar to calling on followed by off in the callback.

Type parameters

TEvent : extends BaseEvent

The type descibing the event. See BaseEvent.

Parameters

event : TEvent[ 'name' ]

The name of the event.

callback : GetCallback<TEvent>

The function to be called on event.

[ options ] : GetCallbackOptions<TEvent>

Additional options.

Returns

void
inherited
set( values ) → void
Creates and sets the value of an observable properties of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.

It accepts a single object literal containing key/value pairs with properties to be set.

This method throws the observable-set-cannot-override error if the observable instance already has a property with the given property name. This prevents from mistakenly overriding existing properties and methods, but means that foo.set( 'bar', 1 ) may be slightly slower than foo.bar = 1.

In TypeScript, those properties should be declared in class using declare keyword. In example:
```
public declare myProp1: number;
public declare myProp2: string;

constructor() {
	this.set( {
		'myProp1: 2,
		'myProp2: 'foo'
	} );
}
```
Parameters

values : object

An object with name=>value pairs.

Returns

void
inherited
set( name, value ) → void
Creates and sets the value of an observable property of this object. Such a property becomes a part of the state and is observable.

This method throws the observable-set-cannot-override error if the observable instance already has a property with the given property name. This prevents from mistakenly overriding existing properties and methods, but means that foo.set( 'bar', 1 ) may be slightly slower than foo.bar = 1.

In TypeScript, those properties should be declared in class using declare keyword. In example:
```
public declare myProp: number;

constructor() {
	this.set( 'myProp', 2 );
}
```
Type parameters

K

Parameters

name : K

The property's name.

value : CommentsArchive[ K ]

The property's value.

Returns

void
inherited
stopDelegating( [ event ], [ emitter ] ) → void

- To stop delegating all events.
- To stop delegating a specific event to all emitters.
- To stop delegating a specific event to a specific emitter.
Parameters

[ event ] : string

The name of the event to stop delegating. If omitted, stops it all delegations.

[ emitter ] : Emitter

(requires event) The object to stop delegating a particular event to. If omitted, stops delegation of event to all emitters.

- To stop listening to all events fired by all objects.
Parameters

[ emitter ] : Emitter

The object to stop listening to. If omitted, stops it for all objects.

change:{property}( eventInfo, name, value, oldValue )
Fired when a property changed value.
```
observable.set( 'prop', 1 );

observable.on<ObservableChangeEvent<number>>( 'change:prop', ( evt, propertyName, newValue, oldValue ) => {
