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

Introduction

dojo.connectPublisher is an automation of this common form:

[ Dojo 1.7 AMD ]

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

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

Which becomes:

require("dojo/_base/connect", function(connect){
  connect.connectPublisher("/some/topic/name", myObject, "myEvent");
});

require("dojo/_base/connect", function(connect){ connect.connectPublisher("/some/topic/name", myObject, "myEvent"); });

[ Dojo < 1.7 ]

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

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

Which becomes:

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

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

Example

Dojo 1.7 (AMD)

require(["dojo/_base/connect"], function(connect){
   connect.connectPublisher("/ajax/start", dojo, "xhrGet");
});

require(["dojo/_base/connect"], function(connect){ connect.connectPublisher("/ajax/start", dojo, "xhrGet"); });

Dojo < 1.7

dojo.connectPublisher("/ajax/start", dojo, "xhrGet");

dojo.connectPublisher("/ajax/start", dojo, "xhrGet");
