2 ============ | |
3 | |
4 `iron-signals` provides basic publish-subscribe functionality. | |
5 | |
6 Note: avoid using `iron-signals` whenever you can use | |
7 a controller (parent element) to mediate communication | |
8 instead. | |
9 | |
10 To send a signal, fire a custom event of type `iron-signal`, with | |
11 a detail object containing `name` and `data` fields. | |
12 | |
13 ```javascript | |
14 this.fire('iron-signal', {name: 'hello', data: null}); | |
15 ``` | |
16 | |
17 To receive a signal, listen for `iron-signal-<name>` event on a | |
18 `iron-signals` element. | |
19 | |
20 ```html | |
21 <iron-signals on-iron-signal-hello="{{helloSignal}}"> | |
22 ``` | |
23 | |
24 You can fire a signal event from anywhere, and all | |
25 `iron-signals` elements will receive the event, regardless | |
26 of where they are in DOM. | |
