Adds a static extend method to a class, to simplify inheritance. Extends the static properties, prototype properties, and descriptors from a Parent constructor onto Child constructors.
Install with npm:
$ npm install static-extend --savevar extend = require('static-extend');Returns a function for extending the static properties, prototype properties, and descriptors from the Parent constructor onto Child constructors.
Params
Parent{Function}: Parent ctorextendFn{Function}: Optional extend function for handling any necessary custom merging. Useful when updating methods that require a specific prototype.Child{Function}: Child ctorproto{Object}: Optionally pass additional prototype properties to inherit.returns{Object}
Example
var extend = require('static-extend');
Parent.extend = extend(Parent);
// optionally pass a custom merge function as the second arg
Parent.extend = extend(Parent, function(Child) {
Child.prototype.mixin = function(key, val) {
Child.prototype[key] = val;
};
});
// extend "child" constructors
Parent.extend(Child);
