Backbone事件模块源码分析

事件模块Backbone.Events在Backbone中占有十分重要的位置，其他模块Model，Collection，View所有事件模块都依赖它。通过继承Events的方法来实现事件的管理，可以说，它是Backbone的核心组成部分。

此外，事件模块的所有方法都挂在了全局的Backbone上，如果你的代码中需要用到自定义事件(实现观察者模式)，可以直接使用它。

所以很有必要一起来研究下Backbone.Events的源码，一来学习Backbone事件模块优秀的写法和思想，二来可以更好的灵活使用Backbone事件模块。

// Backbone.Events
// ---------------

// A module that can be mixed in to *any object* in order to provide it with
// custom events. You may bind with `on` or remove with `off` callback
// functions to an event; `trigger`-ing an event fires all callbacks in
// succession.
//
//     var object = {};
//     _.extend(object, Backbone.Events);
//     object.on('expand', function(){ alert('expanded'); });
//     object.trigger('expand');
//
var Events = Backbone.Events = {

// Bind an event to a `callback` function. Passing `"all"` will bind
// the callback to all events fired.
on: function(name, callback, context) {
//两种情况：
//1. 一次添加多个事件时，通过eventsApi一个一个添加，所以eventsApi返回false，那么直接return
//2. 回调函数没定义，没有意义，直接return
if (!eventsApi(this, 'on', name, [callback, context]) || !callback) return this;
//因此这里往下事件是一个一个添加的，即name是一个事件名（如：click | custom）
//初始化私有变量，用于存储事件的信息
this._events || (this._events = {});
var events = this._events[name] || (this._events[name] = []);
events.push({callback: callback, context: context, ctx: context || this});
return this;
},

// Bind an event to only be triggered a single time. After the first time
// the callback is invoked, it will be removed.
once: function(name, callback, context) {
if (!eventsApi(this, 'once', name, [callback, context]) || !callback) return this;
var self = this;
//将callback进行包装，返回的新函数newCallback内部会调用calllback
//不同的是，newCallback只会调用callback一次，之后只会返回callback执行的结果
//也就是说once实质上并没有去除掉事件监听函数，而是控制了callback只会执行一次
var once = _.once(function() {
self.off(name, once);
callback.apply(this, arguments);
});
//保留原callback，用于off操作
once._callback = callback;
//实质调用.on()方法注册事件
return this.on(name, once, context);
},

// Remove one or many callbacks. If `context` is null, removes all
// callbacks with that function. If `callback` is null, removes all
// callbacks for the event. If `name` is null, removes all bound
// callbacks for all events.
off: function(name, callback, context) {
var retain, ev, events, names, i, l, j, k;
//两种情况：
//1. 根本没注册过事件，何谈删除事件，直接return
//2. 像上述所说支持多事件删除
if (!this._events || !eventsApi(this, 'off', name, [callback, context])) return this;
//如果是obj.off()这样调用，那么删除该对象obj上所有的事件监听
//也就是是将_events清空了
if (!name && !callback && !context) {
this._events = void 0;
return this;
}
//如果name为空，像obj.off(undefined, cb1, ctx1)
//那么name就为所有注册过的事件（即_.keys(this._events)）
names = name ? [name] : _.keys(this._events);
//根据name遍历events
for (i = 0, l = names.length; i < l; i++) {
name = names[i];
if (events = this._events[name]) {
this._events[name] = retain = [];
//如果callback或者context有一个有值
//那么接下来将它们作为条件进行接下来事件的off操作
//实质其实是先清空_events，将不满足条件删除条件的事件监听器重新填入_events中
if (callback || context) {
for (j = 0, k = events.length; j < k; j++) {
ev = events[j];
//这里对指定了callback或者context的情况，做了条件判断
//这里的_callback是因为.once方法会对原callback进行包装，这里的evn.callback就是包装后的，原callback保存在_callback中
if ((callback && callback !== ev.callback && callback !== ev.callback._callback) ||
(context && context !== ev.context)) {
retain.push(ev);
}
}
}
//发现该事件的事件监听器被删光了，那么做了清理工作，删除_events对应的key
if (!retain.length) delete this._events[name];
}
}

return this;
},

// Trigger one or many events, firing all bound callbacks. Callbacks are
// passed the same arguments as `trigger` is, apart from the event name
// (unless you're listening on `"all"`, which will cause your callback to
// receive the true name of the event as the first argument).
trigger: function(name) {
if (!this._events) return this;
//分离出传给callback的参数
var args = slice.call(arguments, 1);
//同样支持多事件同时trigger
if (!eventsApi(this, 'trigger', name, args)) return this;
var events = this._events[name];
var allEvents = this._events.all;
if (events) triggerEvents(events, args);
if (allEvents) triggerEvents(allEvents, arguments);

// Tell this object to stop listening to either specific events ... or
// to every object it's currently listening to.
stopListening: function(obj, name, callback) {
var listeningTo = this._listeningTo;
if (!listeningTo) return this;
var remove = !name && !callback;
//这里是兼容(obj, {click: cb1, change: cb2})这种形式
//保证第三个参数是作为context传入，这里是this
if (!callback && typeof name === 'object') callback = this;
//如果有指定obj，那么解除对象只针对obj
//如果没有指定，则是解除监听的所有对象的事件绑定
if (obj) (listeningTo = {})[obj._listenId] = obj;
for (var id in listeningTo) {
obj = listeningTo[id];
obj.off(name, callback, this);
//两种情况下做清理工作
//1. 已经表明清除对obj的的所有事件监听（即name和callback都为空）
//2. obj对象自身都没有被绑定事件了，哪来的事件让你监听呢？

// triggering events. Tries to keep the usual cases speedy (most internal
// Backbone events have 3 arguments).

//添加listenTo和listernToOnce方法
//实质是:
//1. 给需要监听的对象obj赋予一个_listenId的随机id
//2. 再给监听者（调用对象）添加一个map就是listeningTo属性，添加上述的id和obj
//3. 给obj绑定被监听的事件，将this指向调用者
//这里实质就是调用obj的on或者once方法来添加事件监听，
//那么单独列出这样的一个方法的好处在于方便监听者，可以随时监听和解除监听，上述的1，2两不操作是为了以后解除监听做准备
