Class Overview

Class provides simple simulated inheritance in JavaScript. It is based off John Resig's Simple JavaScript Inheritance library.

Install

Include the class plugin. This automatically gets included by the Model plugin.

include.plugins('class')

Use

Using it is easily explained with an example. Lets see an example:

var Person = Class.extend({
  init: function(isDancing){
    this.dancing = isDancing;
  },
  dance: function(){
    return this.dancing;
  }
});

var Ninja = Person.extend({
  init: function(){
    this._super( false );
  },
  dance: function(){
    // Call the inherited version of dance()
    return this._super();
  },
  swingSword: function(){
    return true;
  }
});

var p = new Person(true);
p.dance(); // => true

var n = new Ninja();
n.dance(); // => false
n.swingSword(); // => true
