AbtractObject

AbstractObject with Object State Events Supports and free method provides.

The derived class should overwrite the init, final methods.

• Methods:

  • create(class): the create class method uses to create a new object instance(the util.createObject is the same function).
    • class: the class constructor to create a new instance.
    • ...: the left arguments will be passed into the class constructor.
  • init: abstract initialization method after a new instance creating.
    • the constructor's arguments should be passed into init method.
  • final: abstract finalization method before the instance destroying.
  • free: free the class instance.

• Events:

  • 'initing': emit before the init method
  • 'inited': emit after the init method
  • 'destroying': emit before the final method
  • 'destroyed': emit after the final method

RefObject

The RefObject is derived from AbstractObject. and add the RefCount and AddRef/Release Supports.

• methods:
  • release/free: Decrements reference count for this instance. If it is becoming less than 0, the object would be (self) destroyed.
  • addRef: Increments the reference count for this instance and returns the new reference count.

Usage:

AbstractObject = require('abstract-object')
RefObject = require('abstract-object/RefObject')
inherits = require('abstract-object/lib/util').inherits
createObject = AbstractObject.createObject

class MyObject
  inherits MyObject, RefObject
  init: (@a,@b)->
    super()

myObj = createObject(MyObject, 1, 2)

# if you do not wanna use `AbstractObject.create`, you MUST remember this:
# even the constructor is empty, you should can the parent's constructor manually.
# myObj = new MyObject()

class MyObject
  inherits MyObject, RefObject
  constructor: ->
    # must call super method here:
    super
  init: (@a,@b)->
    # must call super method here for RefObject initialization:
    super()

the javascript:

var AbstractObject = require('abstract-object')
var RefObject = require('abstract-object/RefObject')
var util = require('abstract-object/lib/util')
var createObject = AbstractObject.createObject

//if you do not wanna to use the 'AbstractObject.create'(createObject):
var MyObject = function() {
  //super call
  MyObject.__super__.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
}
// or, this MUST use 'AbstractObject.create'
var MyObject = function(){}


util.inherits(MyObject, RefObject)


MyObject.prototype.init = function(a,b) {
  //super call
  MyObject.__super__.init.call(this);
  this.a = a
  this.b = b
}


var myObj = createObject(MyObject, 1, 2)
//or this,  must overwrite the constructor and call the super constructor.
var myObj = new MyObject(1,2)
