Javascript pub sub pattern
My team is using the pub sub pattern for a large one page app Point of Sale system at work. We started the app before generics were introduced into typescript so a few of us are pondering the ways we can benefit from strongly typed messages and or call backs within our pattern.

Some good reading.

The HTML The Typescript The Javascript (rendered from typescript)
I'm happy to report that this made it into production on our Single Page App. It seems to have cleared up some code but there is still a long way to go. I wouldn't rest here though and be warned that type script can 'hide' the real nature of javascript. This simply enforces the proper use of a function where applicable.
Thanks for the pub/sub example. The one I'm currently using was extremely basic, and did not have type safety for the message being published/subscribed.
I'm glad this code is useful! Be sure to also search for the latest pub sub libraries as well since it seems like a new one comes out every week that does something really cool.
