fireDirect

Object fireDirect()

Enable custom handler signature and event cancelling. Using fireDirect() instead of fire() calls the subscribed event handlers with the exact parameters passed to fireDirect, instead of the usual (eventType, args[], obj). IMO this is more intuitive and promotes cleaner code. Also, if an event handler returns false, it is returned by fireDirect and no other handlers will be called.
Example:



 if(beforeUpdateEvent.fireDirect(myArg, myArg2) !== false){
     // do update
 }
