Class based inheritance in the style of BackBone in JavaScript code for Node.js.

index.js

npm install js-toolbox

Provides a primitive base class (Toolbox.Base) for class-based inheritance. Install with npm install js-toolbox --save. Based on code from Backbone (http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/).

var Toolbox = require('js-toolbox').Toolbox;
var assert = require('assert');

var Animal = Toolbox.Base.extend({
    constructor: function (name) {
        this._name = name;
    },
    sayName: function () {
        return('Hi, my name is ' + this._name);
    }
});

var oAnimal = new Animal("Tony the Tiger");
assert(oAnimal.sayName() === 'Hi, my name is Tony the Tiger');

js-toolbox can also be used in a browser see browserTest.html.. To use it in a browser I added require and module.exports implementations that are also usable in any file included after js-toolbox. To browserify js-toolbox I needed jQuery.extend, since I had it already I added it, jQuery.proxy, jQuery.ajax and just plain jQuery dom parsing to my exports as _jQuery. If you wanted to use jQuery.ajax on node for instance you would use var jQuery = require('js-toolbox')._jQuery; See the file tests/index.js

Depends on:

• extend (https://github.com/justmoon/node-extend)
• najax (https://github.com/alanclarke/najax)
• nodeproxy (https://github.com/iainjmitchell/nodeproxy)
• cheerio (https://github.com/MatthewMueller/cheerio)
