Ensure that everytime an event is called, a message is published on the topic.

Introduction ¶

dojo.connectPublisher is an automation of this common form:

dojo.connect(myObject, "myEvent", function(){
     dojo.publish("/some/topic/name", arguments);
});

Which becomes:

dojo.connectPublisher("/some/topic/name", myObject, "myEvent");

var foo = dojo.connectPublisher(topic, obj, event);

Returns a handle which can be passed to dojo.disconnect() to disable subsequent automatic publication on the topic.

Parameter	Type	Description
topic	String	The name of the topic to publish.
obj	Object\|null	The source object for the event function. Defaults to dojo.global if null.
event	String	The name of the event function in obj. I.e. identifies a property obj[event].
