vibejs-dynclass

Introduction

dynclass is a factory for creating classes dynamically in your Javascript/Coffee-Script applications.

Motivation

vibejs-enum required a way of dynamically creating new enum classes that needed to be named accordingly. Here, either the user provided a custom name or the system determined a unique name such as AnonEnum_. Since none of these names could be applied using standard Javascript/Coffee-Script, dynclass was born. dynclass uses eval in combination with some boilerplate code to make this work with Coffee-Script.

Features

• declarative API
• named classes
• FUTURE class modifiers: abstract, private and final
• field modifiers: abstract, private, final, readonly and static
• field types: method, property and FUTURE inner class
• NPM package
• Meteor package
