PO(Open Source) Examples of JavaScript Prototypical OO
text
Body
copied!<p><strong>Bounty Edit:</strong></p> <p>I'm looking for code written in a <em>pure</em> prototypical OO paradigm (think Self). Not a mixture of prototypical OO and classical OO. I don't want to see generic OO wrappers but simply usage of prototypical OO techniques and <em>only</em> prototypical OO techniques.</p> <p><strong>Reference Related Question:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6526241/prototypical-oo-in-javascript">Prototypical OO in JavaScript</a></p> <p>In the above question I mainly focused on </p> <blockquote> <p>Can write prototypical OO like this?</p> <p>Do we need constructors and initialization logic, What are the alternatives?</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>New question:</strong></p> <p>Basically are there any <em>good examples of javascript prototypical</em> OO in large open source projects?</p> <p><strong>Clarification:</strong></p> <p>I will have to clarify what I mean with <strong>prototypical OO</strong> :</p> <ul> <li>There are no classes. There are only Objects.</li> <li><strong>There is <em>zero</em> emulation of the concepts of classes,</strong> again there is only objects and cloning objects to create new objects.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Further Clarification of Prototypical OO:</strong></p> <p>The difference between prototypical OO in JavaScript and classical OO emulation is a <em>very grey area</em>. It's not that I <em>value</em> avoiding classical OO. I want to learn prototypical OO in an academic fashion in it's own right, without learning the (probably more optimum) combination of classical OO emulation and prototypical OO.</p> <p>This is why I "ban" classes, just so that I can see these techniques in a pure fashion and extend my own OO tool kit. </p> <p><strong>Examples:</strong></p> <p>Popular examples like jQuery fail to meet the second criteria. The <code>jQuery</code> object is one big class emulation. It focuses on creating new objects from a class rather then cloning existing objects. </p> <p>If I actually knew any example of using <em>"pure"</em> prototypical OO I would have shown you. I believe 99% of JavaScript OO is too heavily influenced by classical emulation.</p> <p><strong>Bonus points</strong> </p> <p>If </p> <ul> <li>It's well comented / documented</li> <li>Has unit tests</li> <li>Is on github.</li> </ul> <p>I will also accept articles / tutorials and examples on how to write prototypical OO code that goes beyond your trivial hello world application.</p>
