Dojo/_base/lang
The important pointers to remember about this package are, this provides following functionalities
Clone – helps clone a node to an other. A literal copy
Delegate – helps create a bounded subclassed object. Changes are reflected to child when parent object is changed, provided, its done in the oops way *(note1:refer note below)
exists getObject setObject
extend mixin partial – extend works with prototype, mixin with properties and partial helps overload functions with ease
hitch – force scope for an object
replace – A huge feature. Lot of varities and customizations are possible. Refer the following html code to understand what it does
*note1
var lang=require("dojo/_base/lang")
var obj = { a:"b", c:"d" };
var thing = lang.delegate(obj);
obj.e='f';
thing; //:is a {a: "b", c: "d", e: "f"}
obj = { a:"b", c:"d" , g:"h"};
thing; //:is still a {a: "b", c: "d", e: "f"} – note g:”h” did not get updated as it was not done in the oops way.
Use the following html file and watch the logs that gets printed. Then run through the code that produced them. This will you understand what does what
