Klass

An expressive, cross platform JavaScript Class provider with a classical interface to prototypal inheritance.

API

$3

`` js
var Person = klass(function (name) {
this.name = name
})
.statics({
head: ':)',
feet: '_|_'
})
.methods({
walk: function () {}
})
`

$3

` js
var SuperHuman = Person.extend(function (name) {
// super class is automagically called
})
.methods({
walk: function() {
this.supr()
this.fly()
},

fly: function() {}

})

new SuperHuman('Zelda').walk()
`

$3

` js
var Foo = klass({
foo: 0,
initialize: function() {
this.foo = 1
},
getFoo: function () {
return this.foo
},
setFoo: function (x) {
this.foo = x
return this.getFoo()
}
})
`

note: initialize will be called on class invocation

$3

because sometimes you want to overwrite OR mixin an instance method

` js
// note you can optionally pass an object literal to extend too ;)
var Alien = SuperHuman.extend({
beam: function() {
this.supr()
// beam into space
}
})

var Spazoid = new Alien('Zoopo')

if (beamIsDown) {
Spazoid.implement({
beam: function() {
this.supr()
// fallback to jets
this.jets()
}
})
}
`
