fn-obj-literal

Function-Object Literal Syntax

Requires Sweet.js!

This macro combines the power of two powerful literals: Functions and Objects.

var spy = fn {
    function spy () {
        spy.callCount++;
        spy.wasCalled = true;
    },
 
    callCount: 0,
    wasCalled: false
};
 
console.log(spy.wasCalled); // false
console.log(spy.callCount); // 0
 
spy();
 
console.log(spy.wasCalled); // true
console.log(spy.callCount); // 1

Features

• Declarative syntax!
• Function name in scope over entire object.

Alternative Syntax

var spy = fn {
    [[call]]: function spy () {
        spy.callCount++;
        spy.wasCalled = true;
    },

    callCount: 0,
    wasCalled: false
};

Note: The [[call]] property must be the first property.

Note: If you can think of a better unambiguous property name, please file an issue with your suggestion.

Tested

This code has tests in the form of examples.sjs.

You can run them with npm test (soon).
