Loose

Javascript style objects in Python

Loose() is a way to add expressive power to plain old python dicts. It is inspired by JavaScript objects.

###JS Object

var helper = {
  url : {
    to : function(slug) {
      return 'http://somesite.com/'+slug ;
    }
  }
}

helper.url.to('users')

returns "http://somesite.com/users"

###Loose Object in python

####Basic use case

helper = Loose({
  'url' : Loose({
    'to' : lambda slug: (
      'http://somesite.com/'+slug 
    )
  })
})

helper.url.to('users')

returns "http://somesite.com/users"

####Using the _default method

helper = Loose({
  'url' : Loose({
    '_default' : 'http://somesite.com',
    'to' : lambda slug: (
      'http://somesite.com/'+slug 
    )
  })
})

helper.url()

returns "http://somesite.com"

####Installation

pip install loose
