Module moonwalk.proto

Simple prototypal inheritance.

Functions

constructor (self)	Constructor function.
extend (this, that, meta)	Set this as that's metatable index.

Functions

constructor (self)

Constructor function.

Override this function as needed. Objects which extend proto can be invoked as functions to create new "instance" objects. This function will be called at that time.

Invoking a proto extension object as a function will return the newly-created instance object, unless constructor returns a truthy value, in which case that value is returned instead. In particular, returning nothing is equivalent to returning self.

Parameters:

• self The newly-created "instance" object.

extend (this, that, meta)

Set this as that's metatable index.

Parameters:

• this The object being extended; the parent.
• that The object extending the parent (optional).
• meta Custom meta table (optional).

Returns:

The child object (that).
