Final classes in JET

Classes in JET are generally final and do not support subclassing. At the moment, final is not enforced. However, this will likely change in an upcoming JET release.


Constructor

new Object

Methods

(static) compareValues(obj1, obj2) : {boolean}

Compares 2 values using strict equality except for the case of
  1. Array [order matters]; will traverse through the arrays and compare oj.Object.compareValues(array[i], array2[i])
  2. Instances that support valueOf [i.e. Boolean, String, Number, Date, and etc] will be compared by usage of that function
Parameters:
Name Type Description
obj1 any The first value to compare.
obj2 any The second value to compare.
Returns:
Type
boolean

(static) copyPropertiesForClass(targetClass, source) : {void}

Copies properties from the source object to the prototype of the target class Only properties 'owned' by the source object will be copied, i.e. the properties from the source object's prototype chain will not be included. To copy properties from another class with methods defined on the prototype, pass otherClass.prototype as the source.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
targetClass Object the function whose prototype will be used a copy target
source Object object whose properties will be copied
Returns:
Type
void

(static) createCallback(obj, func) : {()=>any}

Binds the supplied callback function to an object
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
obj OjObject <not nullable>
object that will be available to the supplied callback function as 'this'
func OjObject <not nullable>
the original callback
Returns:

a function that will be invoking the original callback with 'this' object assigned to obj

Type
()=>any

(static) createSubclass(extendingClass, baseClass, typeName) : {void}

Creates a subclass of a baseClass
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
extendingClass Object The class to extend from the base class
baseClass Object class to make the superclass of extendingClass
typeName string <optional>
to use for new class. If not specified, the typeName will be extracted from the baseClass's function if possible
Returns:
Type
void

(static) ensureClassInitialization(clazz) : {void}

Ensures that a class is initialized. Although class initialization occurs by default the first time that an instance of a class is created, classes that use static factory methods to create their instances may still need to ensure that their class has been initialized when the factory method is called.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
clazz Object The class to ensure initialization of
Returns:
Type
void

(static) getTypeName : {string}

Returns the type name for this instance
Returns:

name of the Class

Type
string

(static) isEmpty : {boolean}

Returns:
Type
boolean

clone : {Object}

Returns a clone of this object. The default implementation is a shallow copy. Subclassers can override this method to implement a deep copy.
Returns:

a clone of this object

Type
Object

equals(object) : {boolean}

Indicates whether some other oj.Object is "equal to" this one. Method is equivalent to java ".equals()" method.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
object Object comparison target
Returns:

true if if the comparison target is equal to this object, false otherwise

Type
boolean

getClass(otherInstance) : {Object}

Returns the class object for the instance
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
otherInstance Object <optional>
if specified, the instance whose type should be returned. Otherwise the type of this instance will be returned
Returns:

the class object for the instance

Type
Object

getTypeName(clazz) : {string}

Returns the type name for a class derived from oj.Object
Parameters:
Name Type Description
clazz Object | null Class to get the name of
Returns:

name of the Class

Type
string

Init : {void}

Initializes the instance. Subclasses of oj.Object must call their superclass' Init
Returns:
Type
void

toDebugString : {string}

Returns:
Type
string

toString : {string}

Returns:
Type
string
