Currently Prototype lacks a namespace creation function.
I know, the function is quite simple, and I can write it my self
(which I have done), but do you think it will be nice to have one
built in Prototype?
The basics of the function is quite easy
function Namespace(identifier) {
var cursor = window;
if (identifier) {
var spaces = identifier.split(".");
for (var i = 0; i < spaces.length; i++) {
if (!cursor[spaces[i]]) cursor[spaces[i]] = {};
cursor = cursor[spaces[i]];
}
}
}
Or if there is need to extend the namespace with classes
function Namespace(identifier) {
var cursor = window,
klasses = arguments[1] || false;
if (identifier) {
var spaces = identifier.split(".");
for (var i = 0; i < spaces.length; i++) {
if (!cursor[spaces[i]]) cursor[spaces[i]] = {};
cursor = cursor[spaces[i]];
}
}
if (klasses) {
for (var klass in klasses) {
cursor[klass] = klasses[klass];
}
}
}
Noting fancy. I've seen far more complicated examples, which can do
tons more stuff. Sample usage would be:
Namespace("My.Name.Space");
My.Name.Space.MyClass = Class.create ...
In addition, I also set two additional fields to indicate that
My.Name.Space spaces are indeed namespaces (and not classes or fields)
as well as setting the name of each space. But this might be over-
doing for some, so it's not in the snippet.
Any thought on that one?
