JavaScript Leaders Demand Oracle Release the JavaScript Trademark
In an open letter, JavaScript community leaders urge Oracle to give up the JavaScript trademark, arguing that it has been effectively abandoned through nonuse.
A simple ES6 class that can be extended to provide macros and getters functionality
Extend
class
prototype in style 😎
Macroable is a simple class that your classes can extend in order to expose an API for extending the class. Let's see how a class can be extended without Macroable first.
class Foo {}
module.exports = Foo
Someone can extend it follows.
const Foo = require('./Foo')
Foo.prototype.greet = function () {
return 'Hello!'
}
// or add getter as follow
Object.defineProperty(Foo.prototype, 'username', {
get: function () {
return 'virk'
}
})
const { Macroable } from 'macroable'
class Foo extends Macroable {
}
Foo._macros = {}
Foo._getters = {}
module.exports = Foo
const Foo = require('./Foo')
Foo.macro('greet', function () {
return 'Hello!'
})
Foo.getter('username', function () {
return 'virk'
})
You can see the API is simpler and less verbose. However, their are couple more benefits to using Macroable.
macros
and getters
added using Macroable.npm i macroable
const { Macroable } from 'macroable'
class Foo extends Macroable {
}
Foo._macros = {}
Foo._getters = {}
module.exports = Foo
Add a function to the prototype
Foo.macro('greet', function (name) {
return `Hello ${name}!`
})
Find if macro exists.
Foo.hasMacro('greet')
Add getter to the prototype and optionally make it singleton.
Foo.getter('username', function () {
return 'virk'
}, true)
Find if getter exists.
Foo.hasGetter('greet')
Remove all macros and getters added using Macroable
.
Foo.getter('username', function () {
return 'virk'
}, true)
Foo.hydrate()
Foo.hasGetter('username') // false
