@description Class

A class based OO inheritance pattern implementation in Javascript. Exports a module which works in AMD, NodeJS and CommonJS

Pass an object in with the functions you want all instances of the class to start with. Modify the class variable to add functions.

Define a class (type):

  var Vehicle = Objects.Class({});

Instanciation:

var v = new Vehicle();

Define a class with a constructor:

var Vehicle = Objects.Class({
	init: function(manufacturer) {
		this.manufacturer = manufacturer;
	}
});

Instanciate a class with a constructor:

var v = new Vehicle('Big Cars Incorporated');

Define a subclass:

var Car = Objects.Class(Vehicle, {});

Define a subclass with a constructor

__super can be positioned anywhere in the arguments list.

var Car = Objects.Class(Vehicle, {
	init: function(manufacturer, model) {
		this.model = model;
	}
});

Define a subclass with a constructor, calling the overridden function

__super here is a reference to the Vehicle.init() function. It can appear anywhere in the arguments list.

Change '__super' to be a different variable name in modules.settings.superclassInjector

  var Car = Objects.Class(Vehicle, {
	  init: function(__super, manufacturer, model) {
		  this.model = model;

		  // call the superclass constructor, passing in the parameter.
		  __super.init(manufacturer);
	  }
  });

Inheritance + mixins:

  var Trailer = Objects.Class(Vehicle, Car, {});
