Panache

Panache is a Javascript class framework. It provides methods to create classes with public, private and protected members and full inheritance.

Quick Intro

Classes are defined as follows:

const SomeClass = new Class({

  private: {
    propertyName: initial_value,
    methodName: function,
    ...
  },

  protected: {
    propertyName: initial_value,
    methodName: function,
    ...
  },

  public: {
    propertyName: initial_value,
    methodName: function,
    ...
  },

  propertyName: initial_value,
  methodName: function,
  ...

  init: function

});

var sc = new SomeClass(...);

Subclasses are defined similarly:

const ChildClass = new SomeClass.subclass({
  ...
});

Where the definition is in the same form as above.

Root-level members are considered public, and will override members of the same name that are explicitly marked public.

Project Goals

The goals of this project are:

• To be able to create traditional classes with simple, concise syntax
• Public, private, protected members
• Class-based inheritance

Some things it can't do, which may or may not be worthwhile:

• Mixins
• Interfaces
• Abstract classes
• Event dispatching/handling
