jquery.route.js - jQuery Inversion of Control container for URIs - location.hash navigation goodness

[Marak Squires]

Hello all -

This is a little project I have been working as part of a larger javascript application stack.

source code can be found @ http://github.com/Marak/jquery.route.js/blob/master/jquery.route.js

Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or insights.
 
  jquery.route.js enables you to create "routes" based on a unique path
  a route can be considered a unique state
  a route may have multiple functions bound to them
  a route can be triggered by calling route('/foo').run()

  *** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control ***
             *** "Don't call us, we'll call you" ***

  USAGE:
   
  route('#/account').bind(customMethod);
  route('#/account').bind(customMethod2);           
           
  route('#/websites').bind(customMethod);
  route('#/websites').bind(customMethod2);           
           
  route('#/account').run();
  route('#/websites').run();



  PROTIP: Use a Dispatcher!

  var Biggie={};
  Biggie._hashchange_last = '';
  Biggie._onhashchange=function(){
    if(Biggie._hashchange_last!=location.hash){
      Biggie._hashchange_last=location.hash;
      route(location.hash).run();
    }
  }

  setInterval(function () {Biggie._onhashchange();}, 50);
 

  Now, instead of calling route('#/websites').run() directly
  you could simply modify the location.hash to #/websites and
  the route would trigger its events!
