meld

1.3.2 • Public • Published

Build Status

Aspect Oriented Programming for Javascript. It allows you to change the behavior of, or add behavior to methods and functions (including constructors) non-invasively.

As a simple example, instead of changing code, you can use meld to log the result of myObject.doSomething:

var myObject = {
    doSomething: function(a, b) {
        return a + b;
    }
};
 
// Call a function after myObject.doSomething returns
var remover = meld.after(myObject, 'doSomething', function(result) {
    console.log('myObject.doSomething returned: ' + result);
});
 
myObject.doSomething(1, 2); // Logs: "myObject.doSomething returned: 3"
 
remover.remove();
 
myObject.doSomething(1, 2); // Nothing logged

What's New

1.3.0

  • meld() is now a function that adds aspects.
    • DEPRECATED: meld.add(). Use meld() instead.

1.2.2

  • Remove stray console.log.

1.2.1

  • Fix for IE8-specific issue with meld's internal use of Object.defineProperty.
  • Internally shim Object.create if not available to so that meld no longer requires an Object.create shim to advise constructors in pre-ES5 environments.

1.2.0

  • meld.joinpoint() - Access the current joinpoint from any advice type.
  • Bundled aspects:
    • trace: trace method call entry/return/throw
    • memoize: simple memoization for methods and functions
    • cache: configurable caching aspect to do more than simple memoization

1.1.0

  • Advice can be applied directly to methods on a function.
  • Removed undocumented behavior that implicitly adds constructor prototype advice: to advise a prototype, pass the prototype as the advice target.

1.0.0
