Classes are created using extend by giving a dictionary that contains the following keys:

• name, an optional name for this class
• parent, with a reference to a parent class (created with Extend)
• initialize, with a function to be used as a constructor
• properties, with a dictionary of instance attributes
• methods, with a dictionary of instance methods
• shared, with a dictionary of class attributes
• operations, with a dictionary of class operations

Invoking the Class function will return you a Class Object that implements the following API:

• isClass() returns true( (because this is an object, not a class)
• getName() returns the class name, as a string
• getParent() returns a reference to the parent class
• getOperation(n) returns the operation with the given name
• hasInstance(o) tells if the given object is an instance of this class
• isSubclassOf(c) tells if the given class is a subclass of this class
• listMethods() returns a dictionary of methods available for this class
• listOperations() returns a dictionary of operations (class methods)
• listShared() returns a dictionary of class attributes
• listProperties() returns a dictionary of instance attributes
• bindMethod(o,n) binds the method with the given name to the given object
• proxyWithState(o) returns a proxy that will use the given object as if it was an instance of this class (useful for implementing super)

When you instanciate your class, objects will have the following methods available:

• isClass() returns true( (because this is an object, not a class)
• getClass() returns the class of this instance
• getMethod(n) returns the bound method which name is n
• getCallback(n) the equivalent of getMethod, but will give the this as additional last arguments (useful when you the invoker changes the this, which happens in event handlers)
• isInstance(c) tells if this object is an instance of the given class

Using the Class function is very easy (in Sugar):

var MyClass = Extend Class {
   name:"MyClass"
   initialize:{
      self message = "Hello, world !"
   }
   methods:{
     helloWorld:{print (message)}
   }
}

instanciating the class is very easy too

var my_instance = new MyClass()

This module implements a complete OOP layer for JavaScript that makes it easy to develop highly structured JavaScript applications.

Extend 2.0 is a rewritten, simplified version of the Extend 1 library. It is not compatible with the previous versions, but the API will be stable from this release.
