the most difficult part of JS inheritance... And on the
6th day, God created an abundance of Talking Animals, that they may be used in JavaScript inheritance examples. Thursday, August 22, 13
So, talking animals it is! meow!! Thursday, August 22, 13

Components are completely decoupled and communicate via event bubbling Thursday,

Components often share behaviours Thursday, August 22, 13
Components often share behaviours So we needed a re-use technique

Inheritance classical composition mixins Functions Object.create Constructor.prototype function passing /
callbacks Objects call/apply functional mixins (Some) JavaScript Re-use Patterns Thursday, August 22, 13
Classical Inheritance Thursday, August 22, 13
ES 6 is giving us class. Some libraries have their
own versions. Thursday, August 22, 13
implementation varies widely and abstraction is often leaky (const, static)
class, extend and super are reserved words in particular, the relationship between this and super is difficult... Thursday, August 22, 13
//Prototype.js var SwimmingAnimal = Class.create(Animal, { type: 'SwimmingAnimal', speak: function($super)
{ return $super() + ", glug"; } }); //https://github.com/ded/klass var Alien = SuperHuman.extend({ speak: function() { this.supr(); //speak like a SuperHuman } }); Thursday, August 22, 13
Do you even want classes? Thursday, August 22, 13

Classical inheritance Requires up-front knowledge of general case Single rooted
hierarchy We’re really bad at classification Thursday, August 22, 13
Constructor.prototype chaining Thursday, August 22, 13
awkward and unnatural Thursday, August 22, 13
var Animal = function(gender, says) { this.gender = gender; this.says
= says; }; var WalkingAnimal = function(gender, says) { Animal.call(this, gender, says); } WalkingAnimal.prototype = new Animal(); Thursday, August 22, 13
...and new Constructor syntax is classical inheritance Thursday, August 22,
13
Beyond classification... Thursday, August 22, 13
19th century British philosophers Whewell and Jevons argued that there
are no objectively “right” classifications Thursday, August 22, 13
“In general, when working with prototypes, one typically chooses not
to categorize but to exploit alikeness.” –Antero Taivalsaari (Nokia Research Center) Thursday, August 22, 13
liberates prototype chaining from classification Object.create Thursday, August 22, 13
var animalProto = { speak: function() { console.log(this.says); } }
var walkingAnimalProto = Object.create(animalProto); // then augment walkingAnimalProto here... Thursday, August 22, 13
but, that second argument :’’( Thursday, August 22, 13
var animalProto = { speak: function() { console.log(this.says); } }
var walkingAnimalProto = Object.create( animalProto, { walk: { value: function() { console.log('walking'); } } //... } ); Thursday, August 22, 13
and inheritance is still single rooted Thursday, August 22, 13
The sad thing is that we even care about inheritance
hierarchies... Thursday, August 22, 13
The sad thing is that we even care about inheritance
hierarchies... ...because in JavaScript they’re quite unnecessary... Thursday, August 22, 13
JavaScript has first class functions Any function can be assigned
to any object Thursday, August 22, 13
Mixins Thursday, August 22, 13
//A property copy mixin var withWalking = { walk: function()
{ console.log('walking'); }, turn: function(direction) { console.log('turning', direction); }, stopWalking: function() { console.log('stopped walking'); } }; Thursday, August 22, 13
var extend = function(destination, source) { for (var k in
source) { if (source.hasOwnProperty(k)) { destination[k] = source[k]; } } return destination; }; extend(Crocodile.prototype, withWalking); extend(Crocodile.prototype, withSwimming); Thursday, August 22, 13
No hierarchical constraints Functionality is grouped by what it does
not who it belongs to Define special cases first; common code later Thursday, August 22, 13
Mixin must know about target Properties can only clobber But...
Thursday, August 22, 13
Functional Mixins Thursday, August 22, 13
var withWalking = function() { this.walk = function() { console.log('walking');
}; this.turn = function(direction) { console.log('turning', direction); }; this.stopWalking = function() { console.log('stopped walking'); }; }; Thursday, August 22, 13
function Crocodile(name, gender) { this.name = name; this.gender = gender;
} Crocodile.prototype.stalkTourists = function() { //.. }; withWalking.call(Crocodile.prototype); withSwimming.call(Crocodile.prototype); Thursday, August 22, 13
Flight uses functional mixins Thursday, August 22, 13

function withSelect() { this.defaultAttrs({ selectedIds: [] }); this.selectItem = function($item,
append) { $item.addClass(this.attr.selectedClass); this.attr.selectedIds.push($item.attr('id')); this.trigger('uiSelectionChanged', {selIds: this.attr.selectedIds}); }; this.unselectItem = function($item) { $item.removeClass(this.attr.selectedClass); this.attr.selectedIds.splice(getIdIndex($item), 1); this.trigger('uiSelectionChanged', {selIds: this.attr.selectedIds}); }; } Thursday, August 22, 13
defineComponent(mailItems, withSelect); defineComponent(folders, withSelect); defineComponent(moveToSelector, withSelect); Thursday, August 22, 13
The Advice Mixin Thursday, August 22, 13
advice.js is a mixin Thursday, August 22, 13
advice.js is a mixin it lets you add custom code
before(), after() or around() an existing function. Thursday, August 22, 13
all flight mixins get advice.js for free Thursday, August 22,
13
all flight mixins get advice.js for free so mixins can
augment functions, not clobber them Thursday, August 22, 13
withAdvice.call(Crocodile.prototype); function withFlu() { this.before('walk', function() { console.log('sniff'); }); }
var sickCrocodile = new Crocodile(); withFlu.call(sickCrocodile); sickCrocodile.walk(); //"sniff, pad, pad, pad, pad" Thursday, August 22, 13
function withSelect() { this.defaultAttrs({ selectedIds: [] }); this.toggleItemSelect = function(ev,
data) { var $item = $(data.el), append; if ($item.hasClass(this.attr.selectedClass)) { this.unselectItem($item); } else { this.selectItem($item, isMultiSelect(ev)); } }; this.selectItem = function($item, append) {/*..*/}; this.unselectItem = function($item) {/*..*/}; this.after('initialize', function() { this.on(this.select('itemSelector'), 'click', this.toggleItemSelect); }); } Thursday, August 22, 13
So why do we like functional mixins? Thursday, August 22,
13
Mixins as verbs instead of nouns. Mixins are functions. We
can take advantage of closure scope and arguments. A mixin can be applied to any object type: prototype, instance, whatever. Advice allows functional mixins to augment existing functions, not clobber them. Thursday, August 22, 13
Works with the language Simple to understand No surprises! Thursday,
