Overload - Function overloading for JavaScript
There are several libraries out there that can do function overloading, but none have had an innocent enough syntax for me. I hope that others will find my version easy to use.
How to use:
var _o = require('overload');
// Simple argument-count overloading
var func1 = _o([
function(var1) {
console.log("Single var: " + var1);
},
function(var1, var2) {
console.log("Two vars: " + var1 + "," + var2);
}
]);
// More advanced, type-based overloading
var func2 = _o([
_o.function(String, // expect string
function(str) {
console.log("String: " + str);
}),
_o.f(String, Number, // expect string and a number, botn function and f works
function(str, num) {
console.log("String is: " + str + ", num is: " + num);
})
]);
func1("hi");
// outputs: Single var: hi
func1("hi", "hello");
// outputs: Two vars: hi,hello
func2("hi mate", 3);
// outputs: String is: hi mate, num is: 3
