Modules Overview

A short overview of the available modules. For more information, refer to the documentation.

prime

The function to create new primes.

var prime = require("prime")

var Animal = prime({
    say: function(){
        return "!!"
    }
})

var Emitter = require("prime/emitter")

var Cat = prime({
    inherits: Animal,
    mixin: Emitter,
    say: function(){
        return "meaow" + Cat.parent.say.call(this)
    }
})

prime/emitter

The event emitter.

var Emitter = require("prime/emitter")

var Dog = prime({
    inherits: Animal,
    say: function(){
        var word = "wuff" + Dog.parent.say.call(this)
        this.emit("say", word)
        return word
    }
})

Dog.implement(new Emitter)

var barkley = new Dog

barkley.on("say", function(word){
    console.log("barkley barked", word)
})

prime/map

Simple WeakMap-like object.

var Map = require("prime/map")

var map = new Map()

map.set(domElement, "header")
map.set(domElement2, "footer")
map.get(domElement) // "header"
map.get(domElement2) // "footer"

prime/type

Type checker.

var type = require("prime/type")

type("string") // "string"
type([]) // "array"
type(function(){}) // "function"
type(/regexp/) // "regexp"
type(new Date) // "date"
type(10) // "number"
type(false) // "boolean"
type({}) // "object"
type(arguments) // "object"

type(null) // "null"
type(undefined) // "null"
type(NaN) // "null"

prime/shell

Wraps every type in a special function containing every available method. Use valueOf() / toString() to get the bare value.

var _ = require("prime/shell")
_([10, 20, 30]).indexOf(1).times(function(n){}).valueOf() // 10
document.title = _(["hello-mootools"]).get(0).camelize()

prime/array

A composite module of all the methods modules. Available methods: every, filter, forEach, indexOf, map, remove, slice, some

var array = require("prime/array")
array.indexOf([1,2,3], 1)
array([1,2,3]).indexOf(1)
