lazy-instance

Lazily define instance properties through the prototype chain.

This provides a mechanism to dynamically add instance values via the prototype chain without modifying constructors.
Very useful for those using a subscriber pattern such as AngularJs or KnockoutJs.

Assigns a lazy instance property to the prototype chain of ctor.

Examples

`js
function MyClass(a) {
this.a = ko.observable(a);
}

lazyInstance(MyClass, 'b', function () {
return ko.observable(2);
});

lazyInstance(MyClass, 'c', function () {
return ko.pureComputed(function () {
return this.a() + this.b();
}, this);
});

var instances = [
new MyClass(0),
new MyClass(1),
new MyClass(2)
];

console.log('result:', instances[0].c(), instances[1].c(), instances[2].c());
// result: 2 3 4

instances[0].a(3); instances[0].b(5); // 8
instances[1].a(7); instances[1].b(11); // 18
instances[2].a(13); instances[2].b(17); // 30

console.log('result:', instances[0].c(), instances[1].c(), instances[2].c());
// result: 8 18 30
