Reacts to changes in data resources.
Traditionally in JS Frameworks, you will make a change, then run a different command to signal an update:
ripple('data').push(value)
ripple('data').emit('change')This module makes the second line redundant. More philosophically, as a reactive design pattern, listeners (e.g. views updating) should update themselves as an epiphenomenon of data changing rather than an application developer directly instructing them too.
ripple('data').push(value) // triggers ripple('data').emit('change')Uses Object.observe in browsers that support it or polling in browsers that don't.
