Hi,
in my application I need JS objects to represent some "business"
objects, which are represented on the page by an Element.
I would like to be able to tie the two together in such a way that I
can use them interchangeably.
This sounds like it should be a common pattern, so I was wondering
what the best practices are.
Example:
var Foo = Class.create({
initialize: function(parent) {
var element = Object.extend(new Element("div", { 'class': 'foo',
'id': 'myFoo' }), this);
parent.insert(element);
},
bar: function() {
}
// more methods
};
Thanks to Object.extend I can easily call: $('myFoo').bar()
But I cannot do the opposite, for instance:
var foo = new Foo();
foo.childElements();
Note that it would just work if I could return 'element' (which now
behaves like Foo).
However, I've read http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/11481 and it has
reasonable objections to letting the constructor return a value.
So, what gives? Any suggestion?
TIA,
Andrea
