JavaScript Patterns 5.9 method() Method

javaScript Patterns 5.9 method() Method

Advantage

Avoid re-created instance method to this inside of the constructor.

method() implementation

The method() takes two parameters:

• The name of the new method

• The implementation of the method

if (typeof Function.PRototype.method !== "function") {    Function.prototype.method = function (name, implementation) {        this.prototype[name] = implementation;        return this;    };}

How to use this pattern

var Person = function (name) {    this.name = name;}.method('getName', function () {    return this.name;}).method('setName', function (name) {    this.name = name;    return this;}); var a = new Person('Adam');a.getName(); // 'Adam'a.setName('Eve').getName(); // 'Eve'
