Protoblast

Extend native objects with helpful methods to speed up development, or leave the native objects alone and use bound methods.

Installation

$ npm install protoblast

Features

• Targeted for node.js & optimal performance, but perfectly usable in the browser
• A way to use all new methods without modifying native prototypes

Todo

• Write documentation (currently a WIP)
• Write more unit tests (coverage is currently around 60%)
• Finish browser unit tests
• ...

Use

You can use Protoblast in 2 ways.

Modify the native prototypes

This is the easiest way to use all the new methods & shims. Ideal for internal or big projects.

require('protoblast')();

// Now new native methods have been added
var arr = [5,9,3,4,1];

arr.flashsort();
// [1, 3, 4, 5, 9]

Use bound functions

You can also get an object that has pre-bound all the new methods, without modifying anything.

It's more verbose, but should be the way to use Protoblast in redistributable modules.

var Blast = require('protoblast')(false);

// Now new native methods have been added
var arr = [5,9,3,4,1];

Blast.Bound.Array.flashsort(arr);
// [1, 3, 4, 5, 9]

Changelog

0.1.6 (2015-02-27)

• Add option to capitalize each word when using String#titleize
• Function#prepareProperty now passes along a function to the given setter which queues given functions to run after the property has been set. This happens synchronously (otherwise setImmediate should be used).
• Function inheritance now uses nextTick instead of setImmediate
• Add Object.walk, the recursive version of Object.each
• Object.hasProperty should no longer fail on non-objects
• Allow 'Infinity' for cookie expires & maxage values
• Add JSON.clone, to quickly clone something using regular JSON
• Fix JSON.dry, had problems with the chain when using toJSON
• Fix: Function.doUntil runs while the test is falsy, not truthy
• Add Function.regulate and Function.count, improve String#encodeHTML
