Javascript

Javascript was previously known as Livescript. Its amazing what a simple name change can do for the image of a mundane customisation language.

Object Model

Javascript is a lightweight language with limited capabilities and use. It does not appear to need the object oriented facilities of its bigger brother Java

First write the methods

function mymethodg1, arg2,arg3,arg4,...) { ... }

The method has no idea on which object it is being defined, its just a bit of behaviour that can be assigned to any class.

then the object

function the_object( arg1, arg2,arg3,arg4,...) { this.property1 = arg1 this.property2 = arg2 this.property3 = arg3 this.property4 = arg4 this.method1 = mymethod }

names of properties and methods are not declared in advance. This can make it difficult when re-using code to figure out just what is available. Fortunately Javascript is not intended for massive applications, just small vlidation programs.

and use it

my_object = the_object.new("22",1,34) my_object.mymethod()
