# gui-dat
**gui-dat** is a lightweight controller library for JavaScript. It allows you to easily manipulate variables and fire functions on the fly.
## Basic Usage
+ ui-dat will infer the type of the property you're trying to add (based on its initial value) and create the corresponding control.
+ The properties must be public, i.e. defined by `this.prop = value`.
Monitor variable changes outside of the GUI
--------------------------------------------------
Let's say you have a variable that changes by itself from time to time. If you'd like the GUI to reflect those changes, use the listen() method
GUI.add(obj, "propName").listen();
## Fire a function when someone uses a control
GUI.add(obj, "propName").onChange(function(n) {
alert("You changed me to " + n);
});
