Component
Helper methods for retrieving a components backing object.
Description
This makes debugging easier, and also means that you don't have to always hold component objects in your javascript - they are bound to the element they are initialised on.
When debugging in chrome or firefox, you can select an element in the dom tree (in the elements or inspector tab), then use hx.component($0) to retrieve the object backing that element (if there is one)
Examples

HTML

<div id="my-tag-input"></div>
<button class="hx-btn" id="my-button">Get Tags</button>

JavaScript

new hx.TagInput('#my-tag-input')

hx.select('#my-button').on('click', function(){
  var tagInput = hx.component('#my-tag-input')
  hx.notify.info('Tags: ' + tagInput.items().join(', '))
})

HTML

<form id="form">
  <input name="firstname" placeholder="Firstname" type="text">
  <input name="surname" placeholder="Surname" type="text">
  <button class="hx-btn hx-action" id="click-button" type="button">Submit</button>
</form>

JavaScript

var element = hx.select('#form')

var api = {
  data: function () {
    return element.selectAll('input').map(function (sel) {
      return sel.attr('name') + ': ' + sel.value()
    })
  }
}

// Register the component against the element
hx.component.register(element.node(), api)

// Call into the component api to get the value
hx.select('#click-button').on('click', function () {
  data = element.component().data()
  hx.notify.info(data[0])
  hx.notify.info(data[1])
})
