Do / Undo Functionality with MooTools

We all know that do/undo functionality is a God send for word processing apps. I've used those terms so often that I think of JavaScript actions in terms of "do" an "undo." I've put together a proof of concept Do/Undo class with MooTools.

The MooTools Class

(function($){
	
	this.DoUndo = new Class({
		
		//initialization
		initialize: function() {
			this.registry = {};
		},
		
		//register something you'd do
		register: function(key,doo,undo,arguments) {
			this.registry[key] = {
				'doo': doo || $empty,
				'undo': undo || $empty,
				'args': arguments
			};
		},
		
		//do it!
		doo: function(key) {
			return this.registry[key]['doo'](this.registry[key]['args']);
		},
		
		undo: function(key) {
			return this.registry[key]['undo'](this.registry[key]['args']);
		}

	});
		
})(document.id);

Once you've created your class instance you need to register your do's/undo's by providing a key, do function, undo function, and your arguments. From then on out you just call doo and undo methods, providing the key of course, to make it happen.

The Sample Usage

//usage
window.addEvent('domready',function(){
	//instance
	var dooer = new DoUndo();
	//set up an do/undo command
	dooer.register('toggle-submit',function(submit) {
		submit.fade('out');
	},function(submit) {
		submit.fade('in');
	},$('submit'));
	//use
	$('hider').addEvent('click',function() { dooer.doo('toggle-submit'); });
	$('shower').addEvent('click',function() { dooer.undo('toggle-submit'); });
});

This do/undo does simple show/hide of a button.

The Goods

• I like the terminology: do and undo, just like every word processing application you use.
• I like the syntax: short and sweet.

The Bads

• This was a total "proof of concept" class and I'll admit my execution isn't very refined.
• The method names may need to be changed on account of "do" being a reserved word.
• This structure only allows for one "undo", so to speak. I wonder if it would enhance this solution to have an internal variable which would keep track of undos.

What are your thoughts? Dead end? Good start? I'm a ball of emotions with this. One second I think it's great, the next second I don't know how useful it would be.
