I like to write my code slim and sexy (on the performance and memory side), I am using Mootools and was wondering if I was using it the correct way, also you can help me by telling me how to test my code to find the answers I am looking for my self.
//First we create a class like so:
var FirstClass = new Class {(
'someFunc': function() { /* do stuff */ }
})
//Now this class uses first class with "Implements"
var SecondClass = new Class ({
'Implements': [FirstClass, SomeOtherClass, SomeOtherOtherClass],
'iAlsoDoStuff': function() {/*do stuff */}
})
// finally the class that Extends second class
var ThirdClass = new Class ({
'Extends': SecondClass,
'takeOverTheWorld': function() {/*code to win lottery */}
})
How can I tell if every time secondclass is extended it doesnt make a new copy of the Implemented classes? The reason I am doing what I am doing above is to Extend SecondClass for every class that needs it - doing so statically, while the second class cannot extend more then one class thus I am using Implements.
I finally got my answer on the Mootools google group, thought I would update it here in case some one finds interest in it.
