Question

I am writing a program in Javascript, CoffeeScript and jQuery to be exact. I have one function that is adding things to a queue as they come in from the network. What I want is for when something is added to this queue for an event to fire to tell another function to start removing items from the queue. What would be a good way to do this?

Answer 1

Something like this could work:

var Queue = {
    listeners: [],
    objs: [],
    add: function(item) {
        objs.push(item);
        $.each(listeners, function() {
            listeners.added(item);
        });
    }
};
