Classe jQuery - JavaScript

Classe is a small jQuery plugin that simplifies the creation of complex class hierarchies in JavaScript. With Classe, you can easily create classes and subclasses with inheritance, mixins, and method overriding.

Features

• Simple and easy to use
• Class inheritance
• Method overriding
• Mixins
• Public and private properties

Usage

To use Classe, you first need to include the jQuery library and the Classe plugin on your page:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="classe.js"></script>

After that, you can define your classes using the $.classe method:

$.classe('Animal', {
  // constructor
  init: function(name) {
    this.name = name;
  },

  // public method
  getName: function() {
    return this.name;
  },

  // private method
  _sleep: function() {
    console.log(this.name + " is sleeping...");
  }
});

$.classe('Dog', Animal, {
  // constructor
  init: function(name, breed) {
    // call parent constructor
    this._super(name);

    this.breed = breed;
  },

  // public method
  getBreed: function() {
    return this.breed;
  },

  // override method from parent class
  getName: function() {
    return "Dog: " + this.name;
  }
});

var myDog = new Dog("Rufus", "Labrador");

console.log(myDog.getName()); // output: Dog: Rufus
console.log(myDog.getBreed()); // output: Labrador

In the example above, we first define the Animal class with a name property, a public getName method, and a private _sleep method. We then define the Dog class as a subclass of Animal with a breed property and a public getBreed method. We also override the getName method from the parent class to prepend "Dog: " to the name.

We then create a new Dog object with the new operator and pass in the name "Rufus" and the breed "Labrador". Finally, we call the getName and getBreed methods on the myDog object, which output "Dog: Rufus" and "Labrador", respectively.

Conclusion

Classe is a simple and powerful jQuery plugin that makes it easy to create class hierarchies in JavaScript. With its support for inheritance, method overriding, and mixins, Classe can help you write more organized, reusable, and maintainable code.
