Aggregation

Aggregation of Base Class and Mixin Classes

About

Aggregation is a very small JavaScript library for Node.js environments, providing just a single function, for use in ECMAScript 5/6 class inheritance based on mixins. It aggregates a base class and one or more mixin classes into an aggregate class, which then is usually subsequently used as the base class for another class.

Installation

$ npm install aggregation

Usage

ECMAScript 6

var aggregation = require("aggregation/es6")

class Colored {
    initializer ()     { this._color = "white" }
    get color ()       { return this._color }
    set color (v)      { this._color = v }
}

class ZCoord {
    initializer ()     { this._z = 0 }
    get z ()           { return this._z }
    set z (v)          { this._z = v }
}

class Shape {
    constructor (x, y) { this._x = x; this._y = y }
    get x ()           { return this._x }
    set x (v)          { this._x = v }
    get y ()           { return this._y }
    set y (v)          { this._y = v }
}

class Rectangle extends aggregation(Shape, Colored, ZCoord) {}

var rect = new Rectangle(7, 42)
rect.z     = 1000
rect.color = "red"

ECMAScript 5

var aggregation = require("aggregation/es5")

var Colored = function () {}
Colored.prototype = {
    initializer: function ()  { this._color = "white" },
    getColor:    function ()  { return this._color },
    setColor:    function (v) { this._color = v }
}

var ZCoord = function () {}
ZCoord.prototype = {
    initializer: function ()  { this._z = 0 },
    getZ:        function ()  { return this._z },
    setZ:        function (v) { this._z = v }
}

var Shape = function (x, y) {
    this._x = x
    this._y = y
}
Shape.prototype = {
    getX: function ()  { return this._x },
    setX: function (v) { this._x = v },
    getY: function ()  { return this._y },
    setY: function (v) { this._y = v }
}

var _Combined = aggregation(Shape, Colored, ZCoord)
var Rectangle = function (x, y) {
    _Combined.call(this, x, y)
}
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(_Combined.prototype)
Rectangle.prototype.constructor = Rectangle

var rect = new Rectangle(7, 42)
rect.setZ(1000)
rect.setColor("red")
