Extending Tether
-----
Tether has a module system which can be used to modify Tether's positioning, or just do something each time the Tether is moved.
Tether has an array called `Tether.modules`, push onto it to add a module:
```coffeescript
Tether.modules.push
position: ({top, left}) ->
top += 10
{top, left}
```
#### Position
Your position function can either return a new object with `top` and `left`, `null`/`undefined` to leave the coordinates unchanged, or
`false` to cancel the positioning.
The position function is passed an object with the following elements:
```javascript
{
left, // The element's new position, from the top left corner of the page
top,
targetAttachment, // The targetAttachment, with 'auto' resolved to an actual attachment
targetPos, // The coordinates of the target
attachment, // The attachment, as passed in the option
elementPos, // The coordinates of the element
offset, // The offset, after it's converted into pixels and the manual offset is added
targetOffset, // The attachment is converted into an offset and is included in these values
manualOffset, // The manual offset, in pixels
manualTargetOffset
}
```
It is called with the Tether instance as its context (`this`).
#### Initialize
Modules can also have an `initialize` function which will be called when a new tether is created. The initialize function
is also called with the Tether instance as its context.
```coffeescript
Tether.modules.push
initialize: ->
console.log "New Tether Created!", @
```
#### Examples
[Constraints](https://github.com/HubSpot/tether/blob/master/src/js/constraint.js) and [shift](https://github.com/HubSpot/tether/blob/master/src/js/shift.js) are both implemented as modules.
[Mark Attachment](https://github.com/HubSpot/tether/blob/master/src/js/markAttachment.js) is used by the docs.
