Classic

A tiny class module for Lua. Attempts to stay simple and provide decent performance by avoiding unnecessary over-abstraction.

Usage

The module should be dropped in to an existing project and required by it:

Object = require "classic"

The module returns the object base class which can be extended to create any additional classes.

Creating a new class

Point = Object:extend()

function Point:new(x, y)
  self.x = x or 0
  self.y = y or 0
end

Creating a new object

local p = Point(10, 20)

Extending an existing class

Rect = Point:extend()

function Rect:new(x, y, width, height)
  Rect.super.new(self, x, y)
  self.width = width or 0
  self.height = height or 0
end

Checking an object's type

local p = Point(10, 20)
print(p:is(Object)) -- true
print(p:is(Point)) -- true
print(p:is(Rect)) -- false 

Using mixins

PairPrinter = Object:extend()

function PairPrinter:printPairs()
  for k, v in pairs(self) do
    print(k, v)
  end
end


Point = Object:extend()
Point:implement(PairPrinter)

function Point:new(x, y)
  self.x = x or 0
  self.y = y or 0
end


local p = Point()
p:printPairs()

Using static variables

Point = Object:extend()
Point.scale = 2

function Point:new(x, y)
  self.x = x or 0
  self.y = y or 0
end

function Point:getScaled()
  return self.x * Point.scale, self.y * Point.scale
end

Creating a metamethod

function Point:__tostring()
  return self.x .. ", " .. self.y
end
