Configuration mixin for constructors.
facet is available on npm.
$ npm install facet
facet is available as a component.
$ component install qualiancy/facet
- @param {Object} Constructor or Object
- @param {Mixed} Options
- @return {Object} Constructor or Object
This mixin provides a way to store arbitray key/value pairs on a constructor or object. Furthermore, it provides a number of helper methods to retrieve the stored values.
Begin by applying the mixin to a constructor or object.
// on a constructor
facet(MyConstructor.prototype);
// on an object
var obj = {};
facet(obj);Storage: Facet will default to creating and using the .settings
object on the constructor or object to store the
key/value pairs. If you would like to use something else
you may specify a different storage key.
facet(MyConstructor.prototype, '_options');Handle: Facet can also invoke a handle anytime a setting is
written. This is preferred method of responding to
writes as opposed to overwriting the .set method.
The this context in the handle will be the object
instance.
facet(MyEventEmitter.prototype, function (key, value) {
// emit changes on self
this.emit('settings', key, value);
});
var ee = new MyEventEmitter();
ee.on('settings', function (key, value) {
console.log('%s was set to: ', key, value);
});
ee.set('hello', 'universe');
// "hello was set to: universe"All Settings: If you are changing more than one of the options than you can use an object as the second argument.
- @param {String}
store - @param {Function}
handle
facet(MyEventEmitter.prototype, {
store: '_options'
, handle: function (key, value) {
this.emit('options', key, value);
}
});- @param {String|Object} key or object
- @param {Mixed} value
- @return {this} for chaining
Modify a key/value pair of settings, or use an object to modify many settings at once.
obj
.set('hello', 'universe')
.set({
hello: 'universe'
, say: 'loudly'
});- @param {String} key
Return the value of a stored setting.
obj.get('hello').should.equal('universe');- @param {String} key
- @return {this} for chaining
Mark a setting key as "enabled" (true).
obj.enable('loudly');- @param {String} key
- @return {this} for chaining
Mark a setting key as "disabled" (false).
obj.disable('whisper');- @param {String} key
Confirm that a given key is enabled (=== true).
Settings that do not exist will return false.
obj.enabled('loudly').should.be.true;
obj.enabled('whisper').should.be.false;
obj.enabled('scream').should.be.false;- @param {String} key
Confirm that a setting key is disabled (=== false).
Settings that do not exists will return true.
obj.disabled('loudly').should.be.false;
obj.disabled('whisper').should.be.true;
obj.disabled('scream').should.be.true;(The MIT License)
