I’ve been working on a very similar framework called Joose, that some some very similar things in slightly different ways (For some example code: http://code.google.com/p/joose-js/wiki/CookbookRecipe2)

Joose has the concept of roles (a mixture of mixins and java interfaces) which allow for some really nice extention mechanims. Especially if you define method modifiers like before and after inside the role which get applied to a using class at composition time. This allows for some very interesting plugin mechanisms where its much harder to treat on own’s others toes.

But…

In this example, I think a method would be better. By doing this, you can avoid the hackish-ness of your approach.

Or?

Yet another place where IE 6 holds the world back from moving forward.

i have found your jsclass library and like it - i really like it and want to use it in a firefox-extension i am currently developing. but i get a strange error when loading the “class.js” saying:

Error: func.callsSuper is not a function
Source File: chrome://soba/content/class/jsclass/class.js
Line: 132

here is the relevant code:

…
131: if (!Function.is(func)) return (object[name] = func);

132: if (!func.callsSuper()) return (object[name] = func);

…

i do not know what is happening, because it only failes when running in chrome-mode as mozilla extension.

just for testing purpose i have changed:

132: if (!func.callsSuper()) return (object[name] = func);

to

132: if (!func.callsSuper) return (object[name] = func);

and it seams to be working without errors, but i have not digged deep enough into jsclass-code to know what are the overall consequences when doing this change.

do you have any idea why this is happening in chrome mode ?

here is my setup:

jsclass 1.6.0
firefox 2.0.0.14

PS:
your library is really good, but do you plan to add some kind of mailinglist or supportforum ?

thanks in advance
jan

Thanks for this plugin.
