Objectively

A better OOP framework that follows better patterns:

• No inheritance, use composition instead.
• Objects are sealed, so no monkey patching.

About the package

• I'm using semver.
• I'm using the package actively.
• The package has 48 test cases.

API

Environment Assumption

var objectively = require('objectively'),
    type = objectively.type,
    attr = objectively.attr,
    prop = objectively.prop

API list

type(constructor, ...methods)

Creates a objectively type, the object will frost and seal after calling this function.

• constructor ^ Function : the constructor function.
• [ methods ^ Array of Object ] : a list of properties added to the prototype. Methods defined here will override methods defined earlier.

Types get some toys too:

• Constructor.is(object)

Checks if object is a instance of Constructor.

• instance.chain

A function with the signature of function chain(f) { return f(this) } Not very useful on the first look, but believe me, it has a great power.

attr.reader(constructor, getter)

Adds a getter to constructor's prototype, should not be used after type.

• constructor ^ Function: the constructor function.
• getter ^ Function: the getter function.

attr.writer(constructor, setter)

Adds a setter to constructor's prototype, should not be used after type.

• constructor ^ Function: the constructor function.
• setter ^ Function: the setter function.

attr.accessor(constructor, getterAndSetter)

Adds a getter and setter to constructor's prototype, should not be used after type.

• constructor ^ Function: the constructor function.
• setter ^ Object: a object with a { get: Function, set: Function } format.

prop.reader(constructor, getter)

Adds a getter to the constructor, should not be used after type.

• constructor ^ Function: the constructor function.
• getter ^ Function: the getter function.

prop.writer(constructor, setter)

Adds a setter to the constructor, should not be used after type.

• constructor ^ Function: the constructor function.
• setter ^ Function: the setter function.

prop.accessor(constructor, getterAndSetter)

Adds a getter and setter to the constructor, should not be used after type.

• constructor ^ Function: the constructor function.
• setter ^ Object: a object with a { get: Function, set: Function } format.

Chaining

The way to make chainable functions is simple: just return this from the functions you want to chain.

To aid with the chaining every object has a .chain method on it.
