Abitbol

Abitbol is a small Javascript library that provides consistent/easy to use classes for Node.js and web browsers. It is heavily inspired by Armin Ronacher's Classy library, but extends its possibilities.

Features:

• Simple inheritance
• Consistent this (always points to the current instance)
• Annotations
• Computed properties automatically generated from getters and setters
• Simple way to call a super class method
• Simple way to declare static properties
• Handful mixin

Exemple class definition:

var Vehicle = Class.$extend({

    __init__: function(color) {
        this.color = color;
        this.speed = 0;
    },

    move: function(speed) {
        this.speed = speed;
    },

    stop: function() {
        this.speed = 0;
    }

});
