create-mixin

Useful for achieving something resembling multiple-inheritence in Javascript.

``js
const mixInto = require('create-mixin')
const EventEmitter = require('events')

class EmittingArray extends mixInto(EventEmitter)(Array) {}
`

Example

Given these two classes.


`js
class Base {
constructor () {
this.ranBaseConstructor = true
}
baseMethod () {
return 1
}
}

class Mixin {
constructor () {
this.ranMixinConstructor = true
}
someMethod () {
return 2
}
}
`

Create a new class mixing one class into another.

`js
> const mixInto = require('create-mixin')

> class Something extends mixInto(Mixin)(Base) {}
`

Behaviour of new class.

`js
> const something = new Something()

> / new class has methods of both source classes /
> something.baseMethod()
1

> something.someMethod()
2

> / Only the base constructor is run /
> something.ranBaseConstructor
true

> something.ranMixinConstructor
undefined

> something instanceof Base
true

> something instanceof Mixin
false
