## Why Breadboard ?

In electronics, a breadboard is a construction base for fast prototyping. You just plug components on it, and connects them to each other. This is what I wanted to reproduce, a simple IoC container so.

## Quick start

First, install the module :
    
    npm install breadboard

Then, you can start using it : 

```javascript
var Breadboard = require("./lib"),
    Component = Breadboard.Component,
    bb = new Breadboard();

bb.add('foo', Component.new({
    method: function() {
        return 'Hello world !'
    }
}));

bb.add('bar', Component.new(['foo'], {
    useFoo: function() {
        return this.foo.method();
    }
}).on('dependencies:loaded', function(dependencies) {
    this.foo = dependencies['foo'];
}));

bb.load();

bb.has('bar'); // => true

var bar = bb.get('bar');
bar.useFoo(); // => 'Hello world !'
```
