Documentation

Create a Class

var MyClass = new Clazz({
    // The first argument is a instance method module.
    init: function(){
        // "init" is a special method which is executed in the constructor.
    },
    someMethod: function(){
        // you can define
    },
    someAttribute: ''
},
{
    // The second argument is a static method module.
    someStaticMethod: function(){
    }
});
 
new MyClass().someMethod(); // calling a instance method.
MyClass.someStaticMethod(); // calling a static method.

Inheritance

Clazz.js supports Inheritance. Use "extend" method to create a sub class. In subclass method, you can use access super method by "_dl" property. The "_dl" property returns a function to delegate super method.

var SubClass = MyClass.extend({
    someMethod: function(){
        this._dl('someMethod')(); // call "someMethod" which is deifined by the super class.
    }
});

Mix in

Using "mixin" method, you can import an external module to your class.

var module = {
    action: function(){
        console.log(this.message);
    };
};
 
var MyClass = new Clazz({
    init:function(message){
        this.message = message;
    }
}).mixin(module);
new MyClass('Hello!').action(); // -> 'Hello!'
