microlib to easily add the creator pattern to your class. It works in browser and node.js
to mixin the creator pattern in a class ```FooClass`, do the following in node.js
var mixinCreatorPattern = require('creatorpattern');
mixinCreatorPattern(FooClass, 'FooClass')
or do the following in your browser
mixinCreatorPattern(FooClass, 'FooClass')
After that, FooClass

var foo = new FooClass(2,1)
you can do
var foo = FooClass.create(2,1);
in node.js
npm install creatorpattern.js
in your browser
<script src='creatorpattern.js'></script>
It includes a single function mixinCreatorPattern(constructorFunction, nameOfClass)
mixinCreatorPattern(FooClass, 'FooClass')
- the first parameter
FooClass
is the contructor of your class. - The second parameter
'FooClass'
is optional and is the name of the class in string. It does its best to keep the name of the class. Thus when you display your variables in the js console, you will see the proper name. If the name isn't provided, it will take the function name of the constructor function. If there is none, the name won't be kept
