Classy Traits

This is just a thin wrapper around traits.js for use with "class" altjs languages like coffeescript and livescript.

For more documentation see traits.js.

Usage

Inherit from Trait somewhere in your hierarchy. It's easiest if you go to most super class of your classes, and inherit from there.

Then you need just one field in your class for the traits.

Example:

require! T: \classy-traits

class Foo extends T

  traits: ->
    trait:
      foo: 3
