Synths

Synths is a JavaScript library that synthesize properties with type, methods, operators and more.

Development is ongoing. Test documentation is available in docs/test.md or in http://malcomwu.github.io/synths/

Usage

var synthesize = require('synths').synthesize;
var john = {
    name: synthesize(),
    age: synthesize('integer'),
    sex: synthesize({ constant: 'male' }),
    weight: synthesize({ default: 80 })
};
john.name('John').age(25.5).sex('female');
console.log(john.name());           // 'John'
console.log(john.age());            // 25
console.log(john.sex());            // 'male'
console.log(john.weight());         // 80

Syntax

• Chainable setter john.name('John').age(25)
• Getter john.name() returns 'John'
• Binary operator obj.prop('+', val) is equivalent to obj.prop() + val.
• Assignment operator obj.prop('+=', val) is equivalent to obj.prop(obj.prop() + val).
• Method of property obj.prop('#toString'), and aliases: obj.prop('#to string'), obj.prop('#to-string'), or obj.prop('#to_string'), are equivalent to obj.prop().toString().
• Lodash method obj.prop('#forEach', getName) and aliases obj.prop('#for each', getName), obj.prop('#for-each', getName), or obj.prop('#for_each', getName) are equivalent to _.forEach(obj.prop(), getName).
• Property's property obj.prop('subProp') and aliases: obj.prop('sub prop'), obj.prop('sub-prop')``obj.prop('sub_prop'), are equivalent to obj.prop().subProp(). Setter obj.prop('subProp', 123) is equivalent to obj.prop().subProp(123).
• Property's key, obj.prop('key') is equivalent to obj.prop().key. Setter obj.prop('key', val) is equivalent to obj.prop().key = val.
• Property's index obj.prop(1), equivalent to obj.prop()[1]. obj.prop(1, 'foo') is equivalent to obj.prop()[1] = 'foo'. Negative index: obj.prop(-1) is equivalent to obj.prop(obj.prop().length -1).
