immutable-global

Immutable Global is designed to provide global data stores for use by modules.

Storing data globally, as opposed to in private variables inside a module file, is necessary when you truly need a singleton object because different versions of the same module may be loaded from different files.

Immutable Global stores global data according to a consistent naming scheme and provides a reset mechanism which is needed for unit tests.

Creating a new global instance

var global = new ImmutableGlobal('MyModule', {foo: true})

This will create a new global data object stored at:

global.__immutable_global__.MyModule

This object will be initialized with the default values foo: true and whenever it is reset it will be reset to its default state.

Get global instance for module

var global = ImmutableGlobal.global('MyModule')

global.data will have the global data for the module. Will throw error if module does not have global instance registered.

Check if module has global instance

ImmutableGlobal.hasGlobal('MyModule') 

Get global data

var data = global.data

The data property of the ImmutableGlobal instance references the global data for the module.

Reset global data

global.reset()

The reset method on an ImmutableGlobal instance will reset the data for that particular instance to its default values

Reset all global data

ImmutableGlobal.reset()

The reset method on the ImmutableGlobal class will reset the global data for all instances.
