js-craftsman

Tools for creating, modifying and traversing objects and classes in javascript.

js-craftsman consists of 9 tools designed for convenient introspection and modification of your Javascript objects and classes.

konstructor

is a builder of objects.

• Quickly and easily create static attributes and methods, and instance properties.
• Easily define advanced properties like writability, enumerability, etc.
• Support for private attributes and initializer functions.
• Full control over "super" functions (not forced to invoke before accessing "this"). Use it how you wish.

Objekt

Advanced tools for existing objects.

• Gain quick insight in to your objects with advanced introspection tools.
• Clone objects, including non-enumerable properties.
• Easily merge object properties
• Safely delete properties without errors on proptected attributes
• Backup objects: when using Objekt tools, copies of objects are backed up before modification, and can be accessed at any time.
• mixins: highly flexible mixin tool allows you to borrow certain attributes from classes without having to extend them.
• lineage: View a full, traversible inheritence tree for your object. Includes 'prev' and 'next' properties for full traversing. More detailed and powerful than instanceof operator.

klass

A more flexible way of defining a class.

• Use functions to define classes with greater functionality.
• Allow functions to inherit as if they were normal classes.
• Support for private variables that really are private.
• No "Must call super constructor in derived class before accessing 'this'" Go ahead and access properties of this if needed, and call the super constructor when it makes sense for your situation.
• Incredible flexibility for class definition. Define your static and prototype methods within an object template, or simply include them within the constructor function. Or use javascript's native class syntax. konstructor is great for unusual coding situations where flexibility is needed.

Mirror

Proxy generator for extending functionality of objects.

• Clone: Create a virtual copy of an object.
• Extend: Add functionality to an object while preserving the original object's properties.
• Merge: Merge properties of multiple objects in a powerful and flexible way.

funktion

Highly useful function creation tools.

• Tie: re-usable function binding. Change the "bound" objects unlimited times (regular function binding can only be done once per function).
• Creation: Easy 'eval' style function creation. Pass in the function name, eval text, and a key/value formatted object with replacements.

ObjectMap

A map tool for Objects.

• Represents an object as a map, allowing you to use array methods on your object.
• Iterate through an object as if it were an array. Among it's many methods: Loop (forEach), find, filter, reduce, splice

Tree

a more flexible Map

• Most normal Map functionality and methods are available.
• Simplified creation of Map objects (support for key/value pairs).
• Improved syntax for finding entries (find by value as well as key).

const tree = new Tree(
{key:'test1 key', value:'test1 value'},
{key:'test2 key', value:'test2 value'})

const test1 = tree('test1 key')
const test2 = tree.query(null, 'test2 value')

• Simplified access to entries. Iterate through entries as key/value pairs; i.e. object.key, object.value. Direct access to Map items (no "hiding" them). Directly alter a map item through it's array of entries, or via it's normal methods ("set").

Chars

a better find/replace tool for Strings

• Regex support
• Result (matches) returned as array
• Accepts a callback function (run for each match in the results array)
• Methods include find, findAll, replace, replaceAll.
