Craydent NOOF 0.2.3

by Clark Inada

NOOF (Node Object Oriented Framework) module is a framework to enable object oriented practices to JavaScript. With this module, you are able define:

• Namespaces
• Interfaces
• Abstract Classes
• Public Classes
• Overloading methods
• Private methods/properties
• Protected methods/properties
• Public methods/properties
• Constructors
• Destructors
• Strongly typed variables and parameters

NOOF provides the ability to created extensions to classes and intreface implementation which are all checked on start/load as well as the ability to import namespaces to the current scope.

###**Note: A semi-colon (;) as the end of every NOOF directive is required. *Note: Checking method parameter/variable types can only be done through run time so it is still important to run unit tests to test your own code.

Usages

There are 2 ways to require NOOF

var $n = require('noof');

// OR

// when using this require, remove the "$n." prefix in all the examples below.
require('noof/global');

Defining typed method parameters & variables (the type is case sensitive)

private.variable = "";
private.String.str = "";

protected.variable = "";
protected.String.str = "";

public.variable = "";
public.String.str = "";


private.method.foo = function () { /* your code goes here */ };
protected.method.foo = function () { /* your code goes here */ };
public.method.foo = function () { /* your code goes here */ };

// Specify a return type.
// Return types are checked at runtime and will throw errors when specified type is not returned
private.method.Boolean.isTrue = function () { /* your code goes here */ };
protected.method.Boolean.isTrue = function () { /* your code goes here */ };
public.method.Boolean.isTrue = function () { /* your code goes here */ };

Overloading methods

public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
public.method.foo(Object.a, String.b, Boolean.c) = function (a, b, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
public.method.foo(Number.a, Array.d, Date.c) = function(a, d, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
public.method.foo(String.a, String.b, String.c, String.d) = function(a, b, c, d) { /* your code goes here */ };

Defining Namespaces

var $n = require('noof');
// this will declare User in the public scope as well as the namespace scope
$n.Namespace("NOOF", 
    $n.Public(function User (params) {
        public.type = "User";
        public.first_name = "";
        public.last_name = "";
        public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
        public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
    })
)
// this will only declare User in the namespace scope
$n.Namespace("NOOF", 
    function User (params) {
        public.type = "User";
        public.first_name = "";
        public.last_name = "";
        public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
        public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
    }
)

Using Namespaces

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Namespace("NOOF", 
    function User (params) {
        public.type = "User";
        public.first_name = "";
        public.last_name = "";
        public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
        public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
    }
)
function use_namespace() {
    var NOOF = $n.Use('NOOF');
    ver u = new NOOF.User();
}

function use_namespace1() {
    var User = $n.Use('NOOF.User');
    ver u = new User();
}

function use_namespace() {
    eval($n.Use('NOOF.User', true)); // setting the second argument to true returns a stringified version of the classes.
    ver u = new User();            // this is useful for closure when the class needs to use a variable in the parent scope.
}

Defining Interfaces

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Interface(function IClass () {
	public.String.name;
	public.method.foo(String.a);
	public.method.foo(Number.a);
	public.method.foo(a, b);
	public.method.foo(a, b, c);
	public.method.foo(a, d, c);
	public.method.bar;
})

Defining Abstract Classes

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Abstract(function Base() {
	public.String._id = null;
	public.Date.now = null;
	protected.Array.vals = [];

	public.method.foo(String.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foobar = function* () { /* your code goes here */ };
});

Defining Public

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Public(function User (params) {
    public.type = "User";
    public.first_name = "";
    public.last_name = "";
    public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
    public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
})

Implementing Interfaces

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Public(function NewClass () {
	public.String.name = "";
	public.method.foo(String.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Object.a, String.b, Boolean.c) = function (a, b, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Number.a, Array.d, Date.c) = function(a, d, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(String.a, String.b, String.c, String.d) = function(a, b, c, d) { /* your code goes here */ };

	public.method.bar = function*(a,b) { /* your code goes here */ };
    	
}).implementsInterface(IClass);

Extending Classes

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Public(function NewClass () {
	public.String.name = "Clark";
	public.method.foo(Number.a) = function(a) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Object.a, String.b, Boolean.c) = function (a, b, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Number.a, Array.d, Date.c) = function (a, d, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(String.a, String.b, String.c, String.d) = function (a, b, c, d) { /* your code goes here */ };

	public.method.bar = function*(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ }
}).extendsFrom(Base);

Extending Class and then Implementing Interface

var $n = require('noof');
$n.Public(function NewClass () {
	public.String.name = "Clark";
	public.method.foo(Number.a) = function (a) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(String.a, Number.b) = function (a, b) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Object.a, String.b, Boolean.c) = function (a, b, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(Number.a, Array.d, Date.c) = function (a, d, c) { /* your code goes here */ };
	public.method.foo(String.a, String.b, String.c, String.d) = function (a, b, c, d) { /* your code goes here */ };

	public.method.bar = function*(a, b) { /* your code goes here */ }
}).extendsFrom(Base).implementsInterface(IClass);
