Backbone like Class.extend utility for Node

Package Exports

  • class-extend

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 (class-extend) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Class.extend Build Status

Backbone's .extend like inheritance helper for Node.js

Usage

var Base = require('base');

// Extend from the blank class
var Sub = Base.extend();

// Add the .extend helper to a class
MyClass.extend = Base.extend;

.extend()

.extend allow you to assign prototype and static methods.

If no constructor method is assigned, the parent constructor method will be called by default.

// Extend a class
var Sub = Parent.extend({
  // Overwrite the default constructor
  constructor: function () {},

  // Sub class prototypes methods
  hello: function () { console.log('hello'); }
}, {
  // Constructor static methods
  hey: function () { console.log('hey'); }
});

Sub.hey();
// LOG: hey

var instance = new Sub();
instance.hello();
// LOG: hello

.__super__

Sub classes are assigned a __super__ static property pointing to their parent prototype.

var Sub = Parent.extend();
assert(Sub.__super__ === Parent.prototype);
