prime is an Object Oriented JavaScript library. It helps you with prototypal inheritance and contains generic utilities for every-day JavaScripting.

No Native JavaScript Objects were harmed in the making of this library.

Modules Overview

A short overview of the available modules. For more information, refer to the documentation.

prime

The function to create new primes.

var prime = require("prime")

var Animal = prime({
    say: function(){
        return "!!"
    }
})

var Emitter = require("prime/emitter")

var Cat = prime({
    inherits: Animal,
    mixin: Emitter,
    say: function(){
        return "meaow" + Cat.parent.say.call(this)
    }
})

prime/emitter

The event emitter.

var Emitter = require("prime/emitter")

var Dog = prime({
    inherits: Animal,
    mixin: Emitter,
    say: function(){
        var word = "wuff" + Dog.parent.say.call(this)
        this.emit("say", word)
        return word
    }
})

var barkley = new Dog

barkley.on("say", function(word){
    console.log("barkley barked", word)
})

prime/map

Map-like implementation.

var Map = require("prime/map")

var map = new Map()

map.set(domElement, "header")
map.set(domElement2, "footer")
map.get(domElement) // "header"
map.get(domElement2) // "footer"

prime/defer

Optimized timeouts / immediates / animationFrames.

var defer = require("prime/defer")

defer.frame(function() {
    console.log('on next animation frame');
});

defer.immediate(function() {
    console.log('on platform next tick.');
});

defer.timeout(function() {
    console.log('late');
}, 500);
