"One or more observers are interested in the state of a subject and register their interest with the subject by attaching themselves. When something changes in our subject that the observer may be interested in, a notify message is sent which calls the update method in each observer. When the observer is no longer interested in the subject's state, they can simply detach themselves."

1) button을 클릭하면 observable checkbox를 페이지에 추가

2) checkbox가 subject로 동작한다. check가 되면 모든 checkbox에 상태변경을 알려준다(notify) 

3) 새로운 checkbox를 container에 추가한다 

<button id="addNewObserver">Add New Observer checkbox</button>
<input id="mainCheckbox" type="checkbox"/>
<div id="observersContainer"></div>

// Script 

// References to our DOM elements

// 3. Concrete Subject
// Subject의 notify 메소드를 호출하는 구문이 존재 
// Extend the controlling checkbox with the Subject class

// Clicking the checkbox will trigger notifications to its observers
