// Demonstration:

// some arbitrary event handlers
var handlers = {

  },
  demoB: function(args, data) {

  }
};

// register handler with no (null) filter
var handlerA = Events.on('demo', null, handlers.demoA);

// register handler that runs for data items with property foo == 'bar'
var handlerB = Events.on('demo', {foo: 'bar'}, handlers.demoB);

// notice we track the return values - this is so they can be managed (dropped, inspected, altered, etc)

// emit some "demo" type events
console.log('Emitting first "demo" event...');
Events.emit('demo', {'message': 'Hello world!'}, {id: 42, foo: 'buz'}); // foo != 'bar' (only handler A should run)

console.log('Emitting second "demo" event');
Events.emit('demo', {'message': 'Hello again world!'}, {id: 42, foo: 'bar'}); // foo == 'bar' (both A and B should run)

// drop handlerB
console.log('Dropping "demo" handler ['+handlerB.id+']');
var handler = Events.off('demo', handlerB.id);
console.log('Dropped "demo" handler ['+handler.id+']');

// and try one more "demo" type event
console.log('Emitting third "demo" event');
Events.emit('demo', {'message': 'Hello Mars!'}, {id: 42, foo: 'bar'}); // foo == 'bar' (but B was dropped!)

// finished for now
console.log('Demo complete.');
