You could implement mediator pattern:

In this book is everything you need to know about it.

Answer 2

Recently, I wanted to add simple event listeners to vanilla JavaScript objects. This is the solution I came up with

(This requires ecmascript >= 5)

function Emitter () {
  var eventTarget = document.createDocumentFragment();

  function delegate (method) {
    this[method] = eventTarget[method].bind(eventTarget);
  }

  Emitter.methods.forEach(delegate, this);
}

Emitter.methods = ["addEventListener", "dispatchEvent", "removeEventListener"];

Now a "class" that uses it

function Example () {
  Emitter.call(this);
}

Let's try it out now!

var e = new Example();

e.addEventListener("something", function(event) {
  alert("something happened! check the console too!");
  console.log(event);
});

e.dispatchEvent(new Event("something"));

Good luck!

class SimpleEvent {
  constructor() {
    this.onEvent = {}
    this.handler = function(funct, name) {
      var owner = this
      var name = name
      this.onEvent[name] = funct
      var remove = function() {
        delete this.owner.onEvent[this.name]
        delete this.owner
        delete this.name
        delete this.remove
      }
      if ((((!(remove == undefined && name == undefined)) && (remove == undefined || name == undefined)))) {
        throw new Error("-_-")
      } else {
        return (remove == undefined || name == undefined) ? (undefined) : ({
          remove: remove,
          name: name
        })
      }
    }
  }
  Fire() {
    for (var i in this.onEvent) {
      this.onEvent[i](arguments)
    }
  }
}
