jfork - Object Oriented JavaScript

Overview

This framework was developed to bring back structure to JavaScript, without destroying the flexibility we have come to enjoy. It does this through a Class/Method relationship much like in Classical Object Oriented Notation. However, jfork allows for much greater flexibility in its implementation of OO, so it will not take away from the power of JavaScript.

Object Oriented Syntax

Basic Class Example:

//Define a new Class
var Animal = jfork({
	"static isAlive":true,
	"private numEyes":2,
	"construct":function(numEyes){
		this.numEyes = numEyes;
	},
	"static setIsAlive":function(isAlive){
		this.isAlive = isAlive;
	},
	"public setNumEyes":function(eyes){
		this.numEyes = eyes;	
	},
	"public getNumEyes":function(){
		return this.numEyes;	
	}
});

//Instantiate Class
var dog = new Animal(2);
var spider = new Animal(6);

console.log(dog.numEyes);
console.log(dog.isAlive);
Animal.isAlive = false;
console.log(dog.isAlive);
spider.isAlive = true;
console.log(dog.isAlive);
spider.setNumEyes(8);

Output:

null
true
false
true
