DragonGene

An incredibly simple but amazing code snippet that enables class-like inheritance in Javascript

DragonGene gives you a simple starting place for class-like inheritance similar to what can be seen in other languages like C++ and Python.

To create a new class, simply call var Class = DragonGene.inherit() w/ an (optional) object in JSON or Literal Notation

Instantiate your new class by calling var classInstance = new Class() Inherit from your new class by calling var SubClass = Class.inherit()

Example

Once you've included DragonGene somewhere in your project you can create new classes:

var A = DragonGene.inherit({
  static: {
      foo: "bar"
  },
  glip: "glop"
});

And instantiate the class:

var a = new A();

Now you'll have access to static members and instance members as you'd expect.

A.foo;  // "bar"
A.glip; // "undefined"
a.foo;  // "undefined"
a.glip  // "glop"
