ECMA5 savvy inheritance / general object management

based.js

Some ECMA5 savvy inheritance/general object management including descriptor aware mixins, clones, etc.

Main points:

• Make it easier to manage property descriptors
• Proto should provide simple object manipulation methods which can be used to more easily build specialized objects (such as Base)
• Base should be a kinda normal-ish Javascript class object

Objects which inherit from Proto have the following methods:

• createSelf
• extendSelf
• extendSelfWithDescriptors
• clone
• cloneAll
• mixin
• mixinAll
• defineProperties
• defineProperty

Base inherits from Proto

Objects which inherit from Base have the following methods:

• create
• extend
• extendWithDescriptors

Usage

var Base = require('basedjs').Base

var A = Base.extend({
  initialize: function() {
    this.msg = 'yo';
  },
  hi: function() {
    return 'hey dood :)';
  }
}, {
  isCool: 'yes'
});

var a = A.create();
a.hi(); // 'hey dood :)'
a.msg; // 'yo'
A.isCool; // 'yes'

var b = a.extend() // Error
var b = a.extendSelf() // Works
