linkit

Method chaining is nice. Wouldn't it be nicer if it were everywhere?

With linkit, you can chain methods everywhere!

Turn this:

var app = express();
 
app.set('foo', 'bar');
app.set('abc', true);
app.set('baz', {});

into this:

var app = express();
var linkit = require('linkit');
 
linkit(app)
.set('foo', 'bar')
.set('abc', true)
.set('baz', {});

Or even this:

// It can be app.linkit() instead of linkit(app)
app.linkit()
.set('foo', 'bar')
.set('abc', true)
.set('baz', {});

linkit won't affect methods that return things:

// contents is still set to whatever fs.readFileSync returns
var contents = fs.linkit()
                 .readFile(someStuffHere)
                 .readFileSync(someOtherStuffHere);

linkit allows you to set and get properties normally:

foo.linkit()
.readFile(bar)
.writeFile(bar)
.abc = 'xyz'; // this will work fine

linkit doesn't change the actual object's methods:

app.linkit()
.set('foo', 'bar')
.listen(3000);
 
app.set('hello', 'world'); // regular, non-method-chainable app.set

Use linkit with mapit for even more sugar-coating:

var app = express();
var linkit = require('linkit');
var mapit = require('mapit');
 
app.linkit()
.mapit(app.set, {
  'foo': 'bar',
  'baz': true
})
.mapit(app.get, {
  '/': function (req, res) {
    res.send('hello');
  },
  '/hello': function (req, res) {
    res.send('world');
  }
})
.listen(3000);
