static-extend
Advanced tools
Adds a static `extend` method to a class, to simplify inheritance. Extends the static properties, prototype properties, and descriptors from a `Parent` constructor onto `Child` constructors.
The static-extend npm package is used to easily extend the static properties and methods of a class. This is particularly useful in object-oriented programming where you might want to inherit or share static properties among multiple classes without affecting their instances directly.
Extending static methods and properties
This feature allows you to extend static methods and properties from one constructor function (or class) to another. In the provided code, the Child constructor inherits the static method 'foo' from the Parent constructor.
const staticExtend = require('static-extend');
function Parent() {}
Parent.foo = function() { return 'foo'; };
function Child() {}
staticExtend(Child, Parent);
console.log(Child.foo()); // Outputs: 'foo'Similar to static-extend, extend-shallow allows for the extension of properties from one object to another. However, it focuses on shallow copying of properties and does not specifically target static properties of classes, making it less specialized for class-based inheritance.
node.extend is another package that provides functionality to extend objects. It supports deep copying, which can be toggled via an option. Unlike static-extend, which is tailored for static properties in classes, node.extend is more general-purpose and can be used for a broader range of object extension tasks.
