Allot

A way of defining interfaces from one JavaScript class to a new class.

The idea is still a little abstract at the moment however its useful for building quick interfaces from one class to another.

Usage

allot.inherits

Classical inheritance to JavaScript, however methods are not copied or referenced they use the proxy methods defined in this module.

 
function SuperClass() {
};
 
SuperClass.thing = function () {
  return 'thing';
};
 
SuperClass.prototype.doSomething = function () {
  return 'Hello there';
};
 
var ChildClass = allot.inherits(function () {}, SuperClass);
 
ChildClass.thing();
 
var instance = new ChildClass();
instance.doSomething();
 

allot.factory

Builds a new class based upon SuperClass.

Static methods from instance methods

 
function SuperClass() {
};
 
SuperClass.prototype.doSomething = function () {
  return 'Hello there';
};
 
var ChildClass = allot.factory(SuperClass, {
  staticProxyPrototypes: ['doSomething']
});
 
ChildClass.doSomething();
 
var instance = new ChildClass();
 

Static methods from static methods

 
function SuperClass() {
};
 
SuperClass.doSomething = function () {
  return 'Hello there';
};
 
var ChildClass = allot.factory(SuperClass, {
  staticProxyMethods: ['doSomething']
});
 
ChildClass.doSomething();
 
var instance = new ChildClass();
