methodinjector

Injects methods on methods

Alter your methods, functions and callbacks on the fly

Modify arguments, add functionality, inject more on the fly.

Install:

Install with npm

npm install methodinjector

Access the library:

Import

import { methodinjector } from 'methodinjector';

Require

const methodinjector = require('methodinjector');

Standalone

<script>
// global methodinjector variable exists
</script>

Basics:

What it does

Inject one or more functions before or after another function.

More or less you have this

function main() {}
function another() {}
let combined = function () {
  main();
  another();
};

into this

function main() {}
function another() {}
let combined = Injector.inject(main, another);

Dynamic add remove

You can add or remove methods on the fly.

function main() {}
function another() {}
let combined = Injector.inject(main, another);
// if you want to alter existing one just use it instead as a first parameter
// if you use the original one you will loose the current state
combined = Inject.inject(combined, function () {});
combined = Inject.inject(combined, function () {});
combined = Inject.remove(combined, another);

Multiple instances

Every time you inject method with method you can have it merged or separate.

Separate

function main() {}
function another() {}
function anotheranother() {}
let combined1 = Injector.inject(main, another);
let combined2 = Injector.inject(main, anotheranother);
// combined1 !== combined2

Combined

function main() {}
function another() {}
function anotheranother() {}
let combined = Injector.inject(main, another);
combined = Injector.inject(combined, anotheranother);

Add before, add after

You can add one or multiple methods before or after the original one

function main() {}
function another() {}
function anotheranother() {}
let combined = Injector.injectBefore(main, another);
combined = Injector.injectAfter(combined, anotheranother);

Cleanup and restore the original

You can restore the original instance any time you want.

function main() {}
function another() {}
let combined = Injector.injectBefore(main, another);
combined = Injector.reset(combined);
// combined === original

Play with arguments

Any time you want any of the methods to change the arguments for the next method you can just return array.

function main(...args) {}
function another(...args) {
  args[0] = 'a new values';
  return args;
}
function anotheranother(...args) {
  args[1] = 'another new value';
  return args;
}
let combined = Injector.injectBefore(main, another);
combined = Injector.inject(combined, anotheranother);
combined();
// and you will have this:
// - after 'another' the first parameter will change
// - 'anotheranother' will receive the changed argument from before. after 'anotheranother' the second parameter will change.
// - 'main' will receive both arguments changed
// - this will continue with methods after the main call also
