Atom

An object that aggregates multiple Disposable instances together into a single disposable, so they can all be disposed as a group.

These are very useful when subscribing to multiple events.

{CompositeDisposable} = require 'atom'
 
class Something
  constructor: ->
    @disposables = new CompositeDisposable
    editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()
    @disposables.add editor.onDidChange ->
    @disposables.add editor.onDidChangePath ->
 
  destroy: ->
    @disposables.dispose()
