superify

A simple migration friendly library to bring this.super() or this.super.method() on older software.

It could be used once like superify(Object.prototype) to have it available everywhere or it can be used to make it super capable the class at the root of some inheritance.

Example

function A() {
  console.log('A');
}

A.prototype = withSuperContext({
  constructor: A,
  method: function () {
    console.log('method from A');
  },
  get runtime() {
    console.log('runtime A getter');
  }
});

function B() {
  this.super();
  console.log('B');
}

B.prototype = Object.create(A.prototype, {
  constructor: {value: B},
  method: {value: function () {
    this.super.method();
    console.log('method from B');
  }}
});

function C() {
  this.super();
  console.log('C');
}

C.prototype = Object.create(B.prototype, {
  constructor: {value: C},
  runtime: {get: function () {
    this.super.runtime;
    console.log('runtime C getter');
  }}
});


// test
var c = new C();
// A, B, C

c.method();
c.runtime;
