Emitter-like component to create safe cross origin communication
npm install postpost
====
Emitter-like component that enables safe cross origin communication. Its nice and clean API makes it easy to send messages to workers, extensions, iframes or cross origin web apps.
$ component install bredele/post
standalone:
``html`
Post support all mainstream browsers and IE.
Post inherits from 'Emitter' and can be used as a regular
emitter or post messages safely to a cross origin.
Post instance:
`js`
var Post = require('post');
var post = new Post();
post.emit('something');
Emit an event with variable option args.
Send a message locally:
`js`
post.emit('message');
Send a message to a cross origin (default is window origin):
`js
post.emit('message')(); //same window origin
post.emit('message')('http://otherdomain.org'); //cross origin
`
Register and execute handler fn when event is received
from same or cross origin.
`js`
post.on('message', function() {
//do something
});
* Pass event and fn to remove a listener.event` to remove all listeners on that event.
* Pass
* Pass nothing to remove all listeners on all events.
Memory safety (remove cross origin listeners).
