Package Exports

@stdlib/utils-define-memoized-property

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/utils-define-memoized-property) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Define Memoized Property

Define a memoized object property.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-define-memoized-property

Usage

var defineMemoizedProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils-define-memoized-property' );

defineMemoizedProperty( obj, prop, descriptor )

Defines a memoized object property.

var obj = {};

function foo() {
    return 'bar';
}

defineMemoizedProperty( obj, 'foo', {
    'configurable': false,
    'enumerable': true,
    'writable': false,
    'value': foo
});

var v = obj.foo;
// returns 'bar'

A property descriptor has the following required properties:

value: synchronous function whose return value will be memoized and set as the property value.

A property descriptor has the following optional properties:

configurable: boolean indicating if property descriptor can be changed and if the property can be deleted from the provided object. Default: false.
enumerable: boolean indicating if the property shows up when enumerating object properties. Default: false.
writable: boolean indicating if the value associated with the property can be changed with an assignment operator. Default: false.

Notes

Until deferred evaluation, an object property is configurable.

Examples

var fibonacci = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-fibonacci' );
var defineMemoizedProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils-define-memoized-property' );

function Foo() {
    var self;
    if ( !(this instanceof Foo) ) {
        return new Foo();
    }
    self = this;
    this.count = 0;
    defineMemoizedProperty( this, 'fibo', {
        'value': fibo
    });
    return this;

    function fibo() {
        self.count += 1;
        return fibonacci( 73 );
    }
}

var foo = new Foo();

var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    console.log( 'F: %d. Count: %d.', foo.fibo, foo.count );
}
