mayjs

Principle

Simple, but clear
Focus better javascript
Keep JavaScript as JavaScript

Features

object wrapping
similary $() in jQuery but supported wrap any object
module
inspirits by module of Ruby
classes and inheritance
bring onExtend() and onInitialize() hook and more
interface
for documentation implicit interface and validate objects
method overload
help you clean up type assertion of paramerters in function head lines
keyword-like function
a series of function to simplify complex expressions and repetitive code

Install

install for nodejs

npm intall mayjs

install for browser

bower install mayjs

Getting started

The quickest way to start using May.js in your project, is by simply including may.js

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script src="may.js"></script> 
        <script>
            M(function($, $$){
                $.reg({
                    capitalize: function(){
                        var s = this.valueOf();
                        return s.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + s.slice(1);
                    }
                }, String);
 
                alert($("china").capitalize()); //china => China
            });
        </script> 
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

Export May.js keyword-like function to global object

M.exportDSL(M.global); 
// so you will got $class $module $interface $fn ...

Module

var MEvent = $module({
    onIncluded: function(obj){
        obj.__observers = {};
    },
    subscribe: function(obj, eventName, observer){
        if(!obj.__observers[eventName]) obj.__observers[eventName] = [];
        obj.__observers[eventName].push(observer);
    },
    publish: function(obj, eventName, data){
        (obj.__observers[eventName] || []).forEach(function(observer){
            observer(data);
        });
    },
    __option__: {
        methodize: true
    }
});
 
var man = {};
 
$include(man, MEvent);
 
man.setName = function(name){
    this.name = name;
    this.publish("nameChanged", name);
}
 
man.subscribe("nameChanged", function(newName){
   console.info("name changed to:" + newName); 
});
 
man.setName("Hal"); // => name changed to:Hal 
man.setName("Jerry"); // => name changed to:Jerry

Object wrap

// register a global wrapper
M.$.reg({
    mix: function(obj, src){
        for(var p in src){ obj[p] = src[p] }
    }, 
    __option__: {
        methodize: true,
        supports: [Object]
    }
});
 
M(function($, $$){
    //$() and $$() both use the same wrapper table
 
    var Jim = {};
    $(Jim).mix({
        name: "Jim",
        age: 20
    });
 
    Jim.name; // => Jim
    Jim.hasOwnProperty("mix"); // => false
    typeof(Jim.mix); // => undefined
 
    $$(Jim); //copy mix() to Jim directly
    Jim.hasOwnProperty("mix"); // => true
 
    //register a wrapper locally
    $.reg({
        next: function(num){
            return num + 1;
        },
        __option__: {methodize: true}
    }, Number);
 
    $(8).next(); // => 9
})
 
M.$(8).next() //Oh, no!

Classes and inheritance

M(function(){
    var Animal = $class({
        initialize: function(name){
            var _name = name || "";
            this.getName = function(){
                return _name;
            }
        },
        eat: function(food){
            return this.getName() + " is eating " + food;
        }
    });
    
    var Duck = Animal.extend({
        initialize: function(name){
            this.base(name);
        },
        eat: function(food){
            return this.base(food) + ", she is so happy: quack quack!"
        }
    });
    
    var monkey = new Animal("monkey");
    monkey.eat("banana"); // => monkey is eating banana
    
    var duck = new Duck("Litter yellow duck");
    duck.eat("grass"); // => Little yellow duck is eating grass, she is so happy: quack quack!
});

Interface

Using interface to validate object

M(function(){
    var IStudent = $interface({
        name: String,
        birthday: Date,
        "[interest]": String
    });
 
    var Student = $class({
        initialize: function(studentInfo){
            $support(IStudent, studentInfo);
            $mix(this, studentInfo);
        }
    });
 
    var Jim = new Student({
        name: "Jim",
        birthday: new Date("1988/08/08")
    });
 
    var Lily = new Student({
        name: "Luly",
        birthday: new Date,
        interest: "swimming"
    });
 
    $ensure(function(){
        var Lucy = new Student({
            name: "Lucy",
            birthday: "1990/08/08"
        });
        // => error: birthday invlid
    });
});

Implementation interface

M(function($, $$){
    var IMoveAble = $interface({
        move: Function
    });
 
    var Car = $class({
        initialize: function(name){
            this.name = name;
        },
        move: function(place){
            console.info(this.name + " is running to " + place);
        }
    });
    $implement(IMoveAble, Car.prototype);
 
    var Man = $class({
        initialize: function(name){
            this.name = name;
        },
        move: function(place){
            console.info(this.name + " is walking to " + place);
        }
    });
    $implement(IMoveAble, Man.prototype);

    //continued codeblock above
    var MoveStatus = $enum("Stoped", "Moving", "Arrived");
 
    var Marathon = $module({
        gotoPlace: function(obj, place, distance, secondsSpeed){
            obj.status = MoveStatus.Moving;
            obj.__moveTask ={
                place: place,
                distance: distance,
                speed: secondsSpeed,
                lastCounterTime: new Date 
            }
        },
        cancel: function(){
            obj.status = MoveStatus.Stoped;
        },
        checkStatus: function(obj){
            var task = obj.__moveTask;
            switch(obj.status){
                case MoveStatus.Stoped:
                    console.log(obj.name + ": Stoped");
                    break;
                case MoveStatus.Moving:
                    var movedSeconds = (new Date() - task.lastCounterTime) / 1000;
                    var movedDistance = Math.round(movedSeconds * task.speed * Math.random());
                    if(movedDistance < task.distance){
                        obj.move(task.place);
                        var remaining = task.distance - movedDistance;
                        console.log("   To " + task.place + " remaining: " + remaining);
                        task.distance = remaining; 
                        task.lastCounterTime = task.lastCounterTime;
                    }else{
                        obj.status = MoveStatus.Arrived;
                    }
                    break;
                case MoveStatus.Arrived:
                    console.info(obj.name + ": Arrived");
                    break;
            }
            return obj.status;
        },
        onIncluded: function(obj){
            obj.status = MoveStatus.Stoped;
        },
        __option__: {
            methodize: true
        }
    });
 
    $.reg(Marathon, IMoveAble);
 
 
    var toyota = new Car("Toyota");
    var liuXiang = new Man("LiuXiang");
 
    //liuXiang and toyota will wrapping by Marathon cause Car and Man both implementation IMoveAble 
    var marathonMan = $(liuXiang);
    var marathonCar = $(toyota);
 
    marathonCar.gotoPlace("Beijing",  3 * 1000, 20);
    marathonMan.gotoPlace("Home",  1 * 1000, 8);
 
    var timer = setInterval(function(){
        if(marathonMan.checkStatus() == MoveStatus.Arrived){
            console.info("==== LiuXiang Win ====")
            return clearInterval(timer);
        }
        if(marathonCar.checkStatus() == MoveStatus.Arrived){
            console.info("==== Toyota Win ====")
            clearInterval(timer);
        }
    }, 3000);
});

Method overload

may.js $overload() rely on interface and $is()

lets write a tiny jQuery

M(function($, $$){
    var supportCollectionFn = function(fn){
        return function(el){
            var self = this;
            var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1);
            if(el instanceof HTMLCollection || el instanceof NodeList){
                var result;
                Array.prototype.slice.call(el).forEach(function (item) {
                    result = fn.apply(self, [item].concat(args));
                });
                return result;
            }else{
                return fn.apply(self, arguments);
            }
        }
    }
 
    var DomHelper = {

            }
            return this;
        }),
        prop: supportCollectionFn(function(el, prop, propValue){
            if(propValue){
                el[prop] = propValue;
            }else{

            }
            return this;
        }),
        __option__: {

            methodize: true
        }
    }
 
    $.reg(DomHelper);
 
    var jjQuery = $overload([String], function(selector){

    //we assume you have some html like below

     */
 
    jjQuery("#content").html("Hi, Mayjs!");
    jjQuery(document.body).css("backgroundColor","gray");
    jjQuery(document.forms).css("backgroundColor", "blue");
    jjQuery("button", document.forms[0]).prop("disabled", true);
