Abstract class Callable is abstraction for creating new instances of a class as functions, not objects.
npm install @lopatnov/callable
<script src="//lopatnov.github.io/callable/dist/callable.min.js"></script>
import {
Callable,
CallableByCallee,
CallableByClosure,
CallableByProxy,
} from "callable";
var module = require("callable");
var Callable = module.Callable,
CallableByCallee = module.CallableByCallee,
CallableByClosure = module.CallableByClosure,
CallableByProxy = module.CallableByProxy;
import { Callable } from "callable";
class ChildCallable extends Callable<string> {
_call(...args: any[]): string {
return `Hello ${args[0]}`;
}
}
let x = new ChildCallable(); // <-- returns function
let xc = x("World");
console.log(xc); //Hello World
var m = require("@lopatnov/callable");
var Callable = m.Callable;
class ChildCallable extends Callable {
_call(...args) {
return `Hello ${args[0]}`;
}
}
let x = new ChildCallable(); // <-- returns function
let xc = x("World");
console.log(xc); //Hello World
Abstract class Callable
has different realizations. They have different plus side and minus side.
The parameter TResult
is a result type of a function.
This is the function bind way.
Plus side
- Doesn’t rely on deprecated or modern features.
- No need to modify prototypes.
Minus side
- Requires wrapping the function object in a bound function.
Plus side
- Very simple.
- No need to modify prototypes.
Minus side
- arguments and arguments.callee are unavailable in ‘strict mode’, see MDN for more.
Plus side
- Simple, native way to intercept calls and redirect them.
- No need to modify prototypes.
Minus side
- Requires wrapping objects created by Callable in a Proxy.
- A small performance penalty for using Proxy handlers.
Plus side
- Requires no wrapping of the returned object with a Proxy or bind.
Minus side
- Requires modifying prototypes.
- Modifying prototypes is slow and has other side effects, see MDN.
