Hotwire.js

Quick and dirty event wire-ups for JavaScript.

JavaScript port of Fran Lukesh's Hotwire originally created for AS3.

Sample Usage

var delegate = {
    handleClick: function(e) {},
    handleItemSelected: function(e) {},
    handleItemDeselected: function(e) {}
};

// Native jQuery
$("ul#tabs")
    .bind("click", delegate.handleClick)
    .bind("item_selected", delegate.handleItemSelected)
    .bind("item_deselected", delegate.handleItemDeselected);

// Using Hotwire
$("ul#tabs").hotwire(delegate, "click", "item_selected", "item_deselected");

Hotwire uses convention to wire up event handlers. Simply give it a delegate where the handlers live and a bunch of events to attach and it'll wire things up.

Wiring up a click event, for example, Hotwire will look on the delegate supplied for a method named "handleClick". Simple. It's not rocket science, but it might save you a few keystrokes.
