Package Exports

inherit

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

Readme

Node-inherit

This module provides some syntax sugar for "class" declarations, constructors, "super" calls and static members.

Installing

npm install inherit

Usage

inherit([baseClass], props, [staticProps]);

Example

var inherit = require('inherit');

// base "class"
var A = inherit(/** @lends A.prototype */{
    __constructor : function(property) { // constructor
        this.property = property;
    },

    getProperty : function() {
        return this.property + ' of instanceA';
    },
    
    getType : function() {
        return 'A';
    },

    getStaticProperty : function() {
        return this.__self.staticMember; // access to static
    }
}, /** @lends A */ {    
    staticProperty : 'staticA',
    
    staticMethod : function() {
        return this.staticProperty;
    }
});

// inherited "class" from A
var B = inherit(A, /** @lends B.prototype */{
    getProperty : function() { // overriding
        return this.property + ' of instanceB';
    },
    
    getType : function() { // overriding + "super" call
        return this.__base() + 'B';
    }
}, /** @lends B */ {
    staticMethod : function() { // static overriding + "super" call
        return this.__base() + ' of staticB';
    }
});

var instanceOfB = new B('property');

instanceOfB.getProperty(); // returns 'property of instanceB'
instanceOfB.getType(); // returns 'AB'
B.staticMethod(); // returns 'staticA of staticB'
