When configured, these events generate an event. click -> click_attach, click_detach, click_publish -- these can be subscribed to like other events to monitor the event system.

addAttr
name
config
lazy
Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object.
The config argument object supports the following properties:
A function, which will return the initial value to set on the attribute. This is useful for cases where the attribute configuration is defined statically, but needs to reference the host instance ("this") to obtain an initial value. If both the value and valueFn properties are defined, the value returned by the valueFn has precedence over the value property, unless it returns undefined, in which case the value property is used.
valueFn can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used to retrieve the value.
The writeOnce attribute can also be set to the string "initOnly", in which case the attribute can only be set during initialization (when used with Base, this means it can only be set during construction)
The setter function used to massage or normalize the value passed to the set method for the attribute. The value returned by the setter will be the final stored value. Returning Attribute.INVALID_VALUE, from the setter will prevent the value from being stored.
setter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the setter function.
The getter function used to massage or normalize the value returned by the get method for the attribute. The value returned by the getter function is the value which will be returned to the user when they invoke get.
getter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the getter function.
The validator function invoked prior to setting the stored value. Returning false from the validator function will prevent the value from being stored.
validator can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the validator function.
The setter, getter and validator are invoked with the value and name passed in as the first and second arguments, and with the context ("this") set to the host object.
Configuration properties outside of the list mentioned above are considered private properties used internally by attribute, and are not intended for public use.
name
String
The name of the attribute.
config

A reference to the host object.
addAttrs

fire
type
arguments
Fire a custom event by name. The callback functions will be executed from the context specified when the event was created, and with the following parameters.
The first argument is the event type, and any additional arguments are passed to the listeners as parameters. If the first of these is an object literal, and the event is configured to emit an event facade, that object is mixed into the event facade and the facade is provided in place of the original object.
If the custom event object hasn't been created, then the event hasn't been published and it has no subscribers. For performance sake, we immediate exit in this case. This means the event won't bubble, so if the intention is that a bubble target be notified, the event must be published on this object first.
type
String | Object
The type of the event, or an object that contains a 'type' property.
arguments
Object*
an arbitrary set of parameters to pass to the handler. If the first of these is an object literal and the event is configured to emit an event facade, the event facade will replace that parameter after the properties the object literal contains are copied to the event facade.
True if the whole lifecycle of the event went through, false if at any point the event propagation was halted.

The properties which can be modified through this interface are limited to the following subset of attributes, which can be safely modified after a value has already been set on the attribute:
Note: New attributes cannot be added using this interface. New attributes must be added using addAttr, or an appropriate manner for a class which utilises Attributes (e.g. the ATTRS property in Base).
on
type
fn
[context]
[arg*]
Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object.
Callback functions for events published with emitFacade = true
will
receive an EventFacade
as the first argument (typically named "e").
These callbacks can then call e.preventDefault()
to disable the
behavior published to that event's defaultFn
. See the EventFacade
API for all available properties and methods. Subscribers to
non-emitFacade
events will receive the arguments passed to fire()
after the event name.
To subscribe to multiple events at once, pass an object as the first argument, where the key:value pairs correspond to the eventName:callback, or pass an array of event names as the first argument to subscribe to all listed events with the same callback.
Returning false
from a callback is supported as an alternative to
calling e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();
. However, it is
recommended to use the event methods whenever possible.

using the after
method if you wish to be notified after the
attribute's value has changed.
